Internet access with "eduroam"

Eduroam is a worldwide bond of university and research networks. It enables its members in many parts of the world, especially in Europe, to easily access the Internet via WLAN using their personal user ID. The WLAN identifier (SSID) is uniformly called "eduroam".

Every DKFZ employee with a valid user ID is entitled to use eduroam. To connect to the ssid "eduroam" it is necessary to install the CAT profile (Configuration Assistant Tool) via the following link: https://cat.eduroam.org/

If the CAT profile is installed, it must be ensured that all old eduroam configurations have been deleted beforehand.
