I am trying to connect to an eduroam network with Ubuntu 12.04. I understand you need to use certificates to log in to eduroam. I have looked on the University of East London site, but from here I don't know what to do. Can someone help me understand how to connect to the UEL eduroam service

In 2022, Eduroam uses the following certificate on your laptop: /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/USERTrust_RSA_Certification_Authority.crt

No need to download anything anymore.

you will need to get a certificate from your university, i am not sure if all of them use the same one - mine is AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt

you can try it, dl from here - https://www.dropbox.com/s/65dm62gcegrhbmx/AddTrustExternalCARoot%20%283%29.crt

  • I have downloaded the certificates for UEL but what do I do with them now? How do I install them? – MrMule Jun 13 '12 at 12:36

I've had the same problem. My college only had a tutorial for connecting with ubuntu 8.04. This tutorial stated, you should not use any certificate. With 12.10 i found this however is not the case. In my case I downloaded the certificate I found from another (foreign) university (AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt, like mentioned above) and used it to get a connection. I could use the instructions from other univesities as well, I only adjusted my username and password.
