# eduroam Configuration for Android

This source provides the technical instructions for configuring the [[eduroam]] secure WLAN on Android devices at the Universität Greifswald.

## Key Configuration Paths
The configuration method is determined by the Android OS version:
- **Android 10 and newer**: Use the [[easyroam]] app.
- **Android 9 and older**: Use the **eduroam CAT App**.

## Installation Workflow (Android $\ge$ 10)
1. Open the **easyroam** app.
2. Select "Login via browser".
3. Search for and select "Universität Greifswald".
4. Install the new profile.
5. Confirm the profile installation.
6. Grant the app permission to access WLANs.

## Critical Requirements and Constraints
- **Internet Connection**: An active connection (via cable, mobile data, or the open [[UniHGW]] WLAN) is required to download the configuration profile.
- **Clean Installation**: If the device was previously connected using a simple username/password method, the old profile and the eduroam network must be deleted before attempting the app-based installation.
- **Fallback**: If the easyroam app fails on Android $\ge$ 10, users are instructed to follow the legacy instructions for Android $\le$ 9.
- **Hardware Compatibility**: Certain manufacturers may have compatibility issues with easyroam; the URZ refers users to [[dfn]] experience reports for these cases.

## Support
Technical issues are handled by the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] via their ticket system (Groupware) or the hotline (ext. 1420).
