Instructions: eduroam for Android
The Android operating system has many versions and variants from various manufacturers. In principle, the connection to the eduroam network requires creating a profile with the necessary parameters.
Technical specifications of the eduroam network settings
- Security: WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise
- Authentication: PEAP
- Domain: radius.muni.cz
- Certificate: ISRG Root X1 (PEM format)
- Internal authentication: MSCHAPv2
- Username: UČO@muni.cz
- Password: secondary password
To make it easier to create such a profile, the geteduroam or eduroamCAT applications were developed. For most users, we recommend geteduroam, which is simpler and supported on newer Androids. The older eduroamCAT application suited for older Android versions can be tried in case of problems, it contains more information about the current connection status. Settings are also possible manually, see below.
The following procedures are shown for Android 12, in other versions, each screen may be slightly different, but the setting procedure is basically the same. If necessary, other similar instructions for older versions can be found on the eduroam.cz website.
