Connecting to Eduroam

Eduroam (education roaming) provides wireless Internet connection inside higher education spaces. It is available not only in PZI but through the HRO buildings, as well in other academic institutions around the world.

To join the Eduroam wifi network you need your student number and the password that was sent by HRO in a letter, in the beginning of your studies at PZI.

The student number will provide you your login name, which will be:

your_student_number@student.hro.nl

Follow the instructions bellow for you specific operating system and add your case, if you happen to login to eduroam from a os/software not listed bellow.

HRO holds documentation on connecting to Eduroam on http://hint.hro.nl/nl/HR/Voorzieningen--Services/AVICT/Handleidingen/ section Draadloos netwerk (eduroam)

Mac OS X

Android

Here is a nice instruction page from the Oxford University.

To get the connection is essential to,

• fill the identity filled with your_student_number@student.hro.nl
• change the EAP type to PEAP, and to set the Sub-type to PEAPv0/MSCHAPv2.
• Leave the Anonymous identity blank.

using WICD Network Manager

WIcd can be easily configured to connect to eduroam.

wicd-client

Open Eduroam properties

Choose "PEAP with GTC" from the drop-down menu

Identity

your_student_number@student.hro.nl

Password

must have it somewhere (in some letter from the HRO)

That's it. Press OK and connect.

Using wpa_supplicant and dhclient

Write the following configuration file

/etc/wpa_supplicant/eduroam.conf
---

network={
  ssid="eduroam"
  scan_ssid=1
  key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
  eap=PEAP
  phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
  identity="your-studentnumber@hr.nl"
  password="yourpassword"
  priority=1
}

Find your wireless adapter name with:

$ ip a

Mine is named wlp2s0

So to connect using the new config:

$ wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp2s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/eduroam.conf

Get an ip address (you may need to install dhclient)

$ sudo dhclient wlp2s0

And it should be connected!

To connect on boot

/etc/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant@wlp2s0.service
