# NetworkManager

**NetworkManager** is the standard network configuration utility used by many Linux distributions (including Ubuntu) to manage network interfaces.

In the context of the Universität Greifswald's IT infrastructure, it is the assumed network management tool for the automated installation of [[eduroam]] profiles. The [[urz-easyroam-installer]] script specifically targets systems where NetworkManager is active to automate the creation of the WPA2-Enterprise connection.
