Reinstallation of the eduroam configuration for Windows
On 9 December 2025, the certificates previously used for eduroam login will lose their validity.
It is therefore necessary to install an updated eduroam configuration on all end devices.
To do this, it is necessary to create a new eduroam password for each device.
Step 1: Download geteduroam app
Download the latest geteduroam app from the website https://www.eduroam.app/.
Step 2: Start geteduroam app and install new profile
Start the geteduroam app and click on "Select another profile".
Step 2.1: Select TU Bergakademie Freiberg
Write "TU Bergakademie Freiberg" in the search field and select the entry.
Step 2.2: Accept profile
Click on "Next" to select the new profile for installation.
Step 2.3: Install the DFN Community PKI certificate
Now the new root certificate of the DFN Community PKI will be installed. Select "Install"
.
Step 2.3: Confirm Windows dialogue for certificate installation
Now confirm the dialogue for installing the certificate with "Yes".
Step 3: Manage eduroam passwords in the service portal
Leave the configuration window of the geteduroam app open and log in to the service portal. Here, select the menu item "eduroam WLAN".
Step 3.1: Create a new eduroam password
Now create a new eduroam password. Enter a meaningful description (e.g. the name of the device). Then click on "Create eduroam WLAN password".
Step 3.2: Copy new eduroam password
Copy the created password using the "Copy to clipboard" button. The password is only displayed in plain text when it is created. As soon as you close the dialogue, it is saved in encrypted form.
Step 4: Enter access data and establish connection
Now switch back to the geteduroam app and enter your access data. In the "Username" field, enter your central URZ login followed by "@tu-freiberg.de". Enter the password you have just generated in the password field (copy and paste). Then save the configuration using the "Connect" button.
Step 5: Remove old eduroam passwords in the service portal
Once the new configuration has been set up, the previous password can be removed from the service portal.
