General information
Access to eduroam is now only possible with an app password.
An app password is a long, randomly generated security code. It provides additional protection because it is only valid for one app at a time and is specific to one device.
Step 1: Create app password
Log in to the self-service with your new password. Click on the eduroam tile.
Create an app password for eduroam. For better attribution, you can enter a meaningful comment as a description.
Note: This randomly generated password will be displayed only 1x. You can copy this directly to the clipboard.
Step 2: Configure Cat app
Download the latest eduroam app for your Linux / MacOS operating system https://cat.eduroam.org/.
Open a terminal in the directory where the download is located. Install the app using this command:
python3 eduroam-linux-TBF-eduroam_TU_Bergakademie_Freiberg.py
In the login window, enter your central login with the realm @tu-freiberg de as the user name (e.g. ab12defg [at] tu-freiberg [dot] de).
For the password, enter or copy the app password you just generated.
The configuration is now complete. As soon as the eduroam network is within range, the connection is established.
