eduroam iOS Setup

This article will walk you through connecting to eduroam on an iOS based machine.
 

You must be connected to the internet to authenticate to eduroam. On the Ohio State campus, you can connect to the guest network WiFi@OSU if you do not have a cellular network or personal hotspot to connect to.

  1. Open a web browser and access the Ohio State eduroam site or you may use the Connect to eduroam button available on the OSU Wireless site. (If you connect to WiFi@OSU, a page may pop up that will allow you to connect to eduroam.)
  2. Choose Sign In and log in with your Ohio State Username (name.#) and password, followed by multifactor authentication BuckeyePass/DUO prompt.
  3. Select the JoinNow button and follow the on-screen instructions, which includes navigating to your Settings to proceed with the profile that was downloaded.
  4. Open iOS Settings, select Profile Downloaded, and follow the prompts to install the secure network profile.
  5. After installation, go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management to verify the installed eduroam configuration profile.

My device does not have internet access!

If you need internet access you will have to connect your device to the wireless network called WiFi@OSU. This will launch a captive portal window that will walk you through the rest of the connection. The captive portal launches automatically, and it could take a moment to open. The window will show two buttons that you may click on.

  1. Click on Connect to eduroam.

  2. Select the JoinNow button and follow the on-screen instructions.
  3. You will be prompted to run a profile configuration file that will prompt you for your Ohio State username (lastname.#) and password, followed by an additional authentication via BuckeyePass/Duo.
  4. The tool will then install a device certificate for authentication, and finish configuring a wireless profile to connect to eduroam.  Mac OS X and iOS will be prompted with a "Verify Certificate" window during the configuration process. Within the window, select Show Certificate and verify that the server’s name is wireless.osu.edu AND is marked as “Valid”.  If this is true, select continue or accept to complete configuration.
