Eduroam iPhone configuration

Configuration was verified on Apple iPhone, SW ver.: 3.0.1 . According to the users information you can also use the procedure for configuring the Apple iPad tablet.

Use your eduroam username, syntax is: login@vsb.cz (e.g. abc123@vsb.cz). Set your WiFi password. Optionally, you can use your eduroam credentials previously set at your university.

Apple iPhone does not require installation the CA certificate for the RADIUS authentication server, which essentially means that the device will not verify the RADIUS server certificate.

In iPhone menu, please, follow the instruction below:

  1. Settings → WiFi → On
    • Wireless networks listing should appear
  1. Choose Eduroam
    • Login dialog should appear.
  1. Login
    • Username: login@vsb.cz
    • Password: wifi password pro síť eduroam (wifi heslo)

If the login dialog shows only one edit box for password, the iPhone probably didn't recognize authentication protocol EDUROAM. The options are: set EDUROAM manually or upgrade iPhone SW.

If you are not able to setup Eduroam by the rules above, you can download and use Configuration profile which will do the rest of the setup process (use the link below):
