eduroam Profile for iOS
Please use eduroam Devicemanager to generate eduroam credentials for every device in use! You will find a tutorial here. You'll need them to authenticate in step 3.
Attention: Using the Apple iCloud keychain synchronises the same eduroam credentials on every device!
Please note that login names generated with the help of eduroam Devicemanager will end with @rwth.edufi.de for members of the RWTH Aachen University and with @fzj.edufi.de for the members of the FZ Jülich.
You can continue to access the RWTH-institutes Wi-Fi network using a login name that ends with @rwth-aachen.de.
This guide was made using an iPhone X running iOS 16.1.

Step 3: Enter Wi-Fi login data
While installing the certificate, a dialogue will open asking for your login information. If you have not generated login information for your device, you must do so using the eduroam Device Manager.
Please note that any iOS devices linked to the keychain should use the same login information due to the keychain only sharing a single username and password with all devices.
Enter your username and select "Next". Please make sure to use the correct domain (@rwth.edufi.de for members of RWTH Aachen University and @fzj.edufi.de for members of FZ Jülich)
Enter your password from the eduroam Device Manager and select "Next".

You can now return to your settings and select "Wi-Fi" to connect to the "eduroam" Network. Your username and password are saved in the profile that you installed.
Should your login information change, you must delete and reinstall your profile in order to enter the new information.
