I have tried the above mentioned method to configure the settings for Eduroam. When I go to ceaseless.ws/eduroam.mobileconfig I get an error message: Safari can't download this file. Why isn't it working for me?

I have an original iPhone (not a 3G) and I am on firmware 1.1.4

Carlos: You'll need firmware 2.0 to install profiles and to use 802.1x required for eduroam. You can upgrade and unlock your iPhone to firmware 2.0 using PwnageTool.

Yeah I have read a lot about that the last couple of weeks. But where can I download that tool and a clear manual or readme to execute the necessary steps?

Carlos: If you're on a Mac, Google for "PwnageTool_2.0.3.tbz". The tool is very easy to use so you won't really need a manual. If you're on Windows, use WinPwn (http://www.winpwn.com/).

thanks mate. I'm going to try it this afternoon.

Does this apply to an Ipodtouch too, coz when i try to download eduroam.mobileconfig i get an error message too, safari cant download coz it cant find the server. is there athg i'm doin wrong?

You should download it when you do have a working connection, of course. It should work on any iPod Touch or iPhone with firmware 2.0 or newer.

Hello - seems to work very fine for me :-)

Greetings .
I've been using this profile for quite a long time and I would like to install it again. I have a problem coz your link doesn't work anymore. Please help me.

Looks like it's a server issue again, not sure what's up. If it isn't working by tomorrow I'll provide a new link.

My iPhone was in service so it was reseted. The problem is my Safari can't download eduroam profile (I tried http://appleblog.pl/pobierz/eduroam.mobileconfig which is yours one I suppose). I have 2.2 software version so everything should be okay. It isn't...

The server has been back online for a few days now.

I cant get with my ipod touch online, sInce the new certificat has been installed.

Any idea how to solve it?

Frithjof: try removing the old profile via Settings > General > Profiles, and then re-install it. Let me know if it works.

great thanks! it also works for the eduroam wireless newtork of the Hogeschool Rotterdam, Kralingse Zoom.

THANKS!!!
Got me on the net at Technical University of Denmark, DTU, in 10secs.

smoooth and easy!

Great! Works perfect for me on Eduraom Wireless at the University of Tilburg (Universiteit van Tilburg). It took me just a few seconds to install it.

Hi Mark,

This worked perfectly for eduroam in Groningen. I was wondering if I can make something for a similar network (RuG-FN2). The different networks have different access-rights to specific servers, so sometimes I want to switch between the networks.

There is a profile already: (http://www.van-rijn.org/Misc/iPhoneRuG/), but with this profile I have to give my password each time. How can I change the profile (I noticed that is was partly XML) so that it doesn't ask for a password each time?

Regards,
Michiel

Michiel:
The easiest way is to use the iPhone Configuration Utility provded by Apple (http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/enterprise/). You can probably also change the XML, but that'd be a lot more cumbersome than just using the utility.

Thanks, I will try that!

Anyway, I finally got around to test it and it works like a charm. Thanks for the advice! The profile for RuG-FN2 can be found in the link.

Thanks for this. I have used it to set up a profile for the University of Hull eduroam network, which I have made available on my web site for Hull University iPhone eduroam users.

Worked great @ VU.nl

Hi Mark,

I am working at the HvA and your app do's work with us to. Great job congrats!!!!

Hello

I have a ipod touch 2G, which was jailbreaked but after the upgrade
to OS 3.1.1 jaibreak was deleted.

is it necessary to have a jailbreak ipod?

I downloaded the file to my ipod but hte connection failed.

when I open your with the iphone
configuration tool (IPCU.exe)I see
that you used WEP enterprise, for my university it should be WPA enterprise.

how can I change that configuration?

regards

Uwe Brauer

Uwe,
- It works on any iPhone or iPod Touch with firmware version >= 2.0, no matter if it's jailbroken.
- The profile might actually work fine with WPA enterprise. Otherwise, use the configuration utility to edit it. Check the manual that comes with it for usage instructions.

wil it work on firmare 3.1.2

Rogier:
Yes it will.

I tried almost everything and it does not work for me. I do everything you described on your blog but the iphone shows that it is connected for 2 seconds and then not anyway more. Does it have something do to with the new configurations of eduroam?

thanks!

Bart

Yes, it probably does. Please try the configuration profile available at http://ceaseless.ws/tudelft.mobileconfig and let me know if that works. Then I'll be able to fix this profile.

I have the same problem as Bart, when I use the the configuration profile http://ceaseless.ws/tudelft.mobileconfig

Waarom staat er telkens not verified in het profiel?

Omdat het profiel gesigned is met een certificaat dat jouw iPhone/iPod niet kan verifiëren.

Another DTU user:-) works fine. Thanks

Werkt prima bij de Universiteit Utrecht. Dank!

Hey,
I have also problems with your created profile...
I have an ipod touch and I'm using version. 3.1.2.

Anyway, I could use eduroam when I was a TUD student. Now I became a TUD employee and I deleted the old eduroam profile. Afterwards I reinstalled the profile with my new TUD-netid and password.
Since that, it does not work anymore. I was thinking whether there is another file on my ipod touch I have to delete and change to my new netid???
cheers, tomtom

tomtom: that should actually work. Try the more specific profile at http://ceaseless.ws/tudelft.mobileconfig.

If that doesn't work: try removing all eduroam-related profiles and also 'forgetting' the eduroam network (Settings -> Wi-Fi -> eduroam -> Forget) and any other TU-networks you might have tried. Then re-install the profile. After installing, don't try to force a connection to eduroam but simply open Safari and open a webpage.

I still have the same problem, have you got any clue why I does not work for me? I have a Iphone3G jailbrake 3.0 software....Thanx!

Bart

Hi Mark,
I followed your suggestions but I does not work yet... I have the same problem as Bart (I'm using ipodtouch), it connects for 2 seconds and afterwards it disconnects... Anyway, I'll let you know if I figure out the problem...

I'm not sure; I'm starting to think there's a problem with eduroam itself (at the TU Delft).

Doesn't work for me... Seems to have something to do with the certificate (after the network changes of nov 3rd)... Any suggestions...?

Martijn: did you try the ceaseless.ws/tudelft.mobileconfig profile?

...getting spooky...even my macbook gets in trouble with eduroam (but I fixed it)...

The eduroam profile didn't work on an iPhone 3GS but still works on my 3G. Installing the tudelft.config made eduroam work on the 3GS, however.

Doesn't seem to work for eduroam at Erasmus University (EUR). Anyone got it to work at EUR.nl?

When I connect to eduroam it still asks for a password and putting in my EUR password doesn't help.

I'm trying with an iPhone 3G with fw 2.0.1.

Roel: What about upgrading your firmware? There might've been some issues with the older firmware versions.

Hey,
my ipod touch cannot access the eduroam network (strangly: I used it in Utrecht yesterday and today I cannot connect anymore to TUD)... However, I know there was a general instruction on the TUD website somewhere to install eduroam and its certificates manually, BUT where???
I cannot find it anymore.. tx, balu

Balu: That manual just describes how to create the profile like mine. Did you try the TU Delft specific profile?

Yeah, I tried but I didn't work... I have similiar problems as other users, first it connects afterwards it disconnects again... I suppose it's a certificate issue..
What about the network "tudelft-dastud"? I have the same problem with this dastud and eduroam... It connects and after a few seconds it disconnects...

Dear Mark, I have a new Iphone 3Gs I tried eduroam without any downloaded profile three weeks ago and it worked immediately. Then after a few days it stopped working. Continuously seeking but no acceptance.
Then I downloaded and installed the TUDelft luchthaven profile but thsis gave no difference and now I installed your profile and also no difference. My netid and password are the same as I use daily
Any idea? Thanks

Mark I've got the same problem as everyone else. It connects and in 2 seconds it disconnects anyone got it to work?

It works fine for me with the tudelft.mobileconfig profile, but there are many people with issues. What iPhone model are you using? It might be a problem only with newer models.

I'm using the 3gs 32 gb. But I have some sitting next to me who has the same iPhone and he did it the same way and it worked for him.

That's exactly why I don't understand what's going on. It might as well be caused by issues with the university's access points.

Just gave it a try on my 3gs 16g.
After reboot, the wifi icon says there is connection with eduroam. When I open safari the icon dissappears and it starts using 3g. So, it looks like I can log on to the wifi, but whenever I start using it to get access data via the wifi, I'm thrown off...

Tried the TU Delft.mobileconfig and Mark Jansen's eduroam.mobileconfig with the same poor result.
My 3gs seems to be trying to make a connection: looking in "Instellingen" Wi-Fi, it blinks "eduroam" / "Geen verbinding".
A difference with what is said about the installation of Delft.mobileconfig: I do not get the popup window on the certificate?!?!
Sometimes there seems to be a connection for a minute or so.

The problem is that your username is netid@tudelft.NET and not NL, so please keep this in mind. I had the same problem and now its solved. Good luck!

I've had good results with .nl; you could give .net a try if it doesn't work.

Dear Mark, I have a new Iphone 3Gs, without T-mobile network yet. I tried Eduroam without any downloaded profile yesterday, but it works irregularly (2 seconds on, 30 seconds off, etc). Should I download and install the TUDelft luchthaven profile as well?
Best regards, Pieter.

Pieter: try installing that instead of the eduroam profile (remove it through Settings > General > Profiles).

Sweet! ... Got it working quick on my ipod..

Thanks!

Mark, to help the people with 2-secs disconnect problems:
try making another profile using the Iphone Configuration Utility, with only a Wifi payload with the following settings: Security = "WEP Enterprise", EAP = "TTLS", Autentication protocol = "PAP". This helped me after a lot of fiddling around using my Iphone at the RUG (University Groningen). Looks like the WPA profile is not working here.

Worked great for me at UvA. Thanks!

I also have the same problem, the Iphone constantly connecting and disconnecting. For both the config-files mentioned and the .NL or .NET net-ID i have the same problems. Anyone found an solution yet ??

Hey I´m trying to access edurom at the univ of porto and all is good i can download the plug-in etc but when i pres install it does not ask me for my username just a 4 digit password.... What the F* is up?? Sick of using my internet package when it’s free...

thanks
Luis Remisio

@Luis: It will ask you for your iPhone passcode; the one you use to unlock your phone.

I put in the passcode it installed it properly but then i tryed using the internet on my phone, it said that it could not activate cellular network, not even my 3G works now... only if i uninstall the edurum profile....

what do u think is wrong ?

After many tries I solved my problem with the 2 sec on/off by a combination of the tips of Timo and Mark above. Thanks!
I first disabled the network eduroam (forgetting) and deleted the profile I had. Then I installed a profile I got from my IT people http://studiolab.io.tudelft.nl/static/gems/mug/TUDelft.mobileconfig and used netid@tudelft.net. So not .nl Now it works at last.

Did it work on anyone's phone in Leiden ?

I dont rly know if its connecting but it
"vinks" off eduroam for one sec and the "vink" goes away. So i havent gotten online yet. Ive got the gs3 16g. If anyone can has an idea, please tell me.

Rob's comment solved all the problems for the TUDelft...

Neither Mark's nor Rob's profile worked for me! It keeps connecting/disconnecting unfortunately. What else is there to try?

Hi,

it works fine on the EUR, the only flaw is that it won't connect automatically as it always asks for your password. Is there a workaround for this?
thanks in advance

Regarding iPad; My experience has been, that you CANNOT just click the "ceaseless..." link in Safari on the iPad. It will not load the profile. Instead, download and email the profile to your iPad, then you can "click" the attachment and it will load and you are prompted to accept it.

works perfect at University of Amsterdam. thanks!

Hoi Marc have you tried to print within the network of the TU with your Iphone that will be nice

@Marcel: iPhone doesn't support printing, so it won't work.

@laurens, 2010-03-01 @ 15:14

De Universiteit Leiden heeft nu ook zo'n scriptje:

http://socialmedia.weblog.leidenuniv.nl/2010/06/03/eduroam-op-je-iphone

Somehow this doesn't work on my iPad (yes, iPad). I downloaded it and installed it as I should. Still it does not work, will there be an iPad version soon?
Thanks in advance.

Jasper: which of the two versions did you try and at what university?

Just installed THE second version, tomorrow I'll check if it works at TUDelft.

Helaas, ook met het tweede profiel werkt het nog niet lekker. Ipad vindt eduroam wel, maakt verbinding, maar niet voor langer dan 2 seconden. Enig idee wat het probleem zou kunnen zijn?
Inloggen gewoon met netid@tudelft.nl toch?

alvast hartelijk dank!

Jasper: netid@tudelft.nl zou moeten werken, probeer anders netid@tudelft.net.
Daarnaast is er nog een versie specifiek voor de TU Delft:
http://mark.weblog.tudelft.nl/2010/05/16/effortless-iphone-configuration
Hoewel deze ook zou moeten werken.

I also had the problem of 2 second connections, which were then disconnected.

Rob's suggestion (2010-02-25 @ 09:08) did the trick. I'm now connected without any problems.

Hey,

I have installed the new version of the iphone software and did a full reset of my Iphone 3G, i then installed the eduroam profile given to me by my colleagues in IT and the wifi works fine but when i turn the wifi off or leave the coverage area my 3G internet doesnt work and i get this error message "could not activate cellular network"....

I have tried everything, resetting my internet settings on my phone, installing a blank internet profile to be able to switch with the edorum and my 3G still seems not to work..... Can any1 help me? it seems like my wifi setting are conflicting with my 3G settings...

or it might be a problem with the new software. in the older version of the software this profile worked fine with both wifi and 3G.....

Luis: the eduroam profile (or any wifi settings) should not have any effect on 3G connectivity. Try a full restore of iOS4.0 (without restoring a backup). If that doesn't help, contact Apple.

... that is what created the problem... !! I was having 3G problems and my operator "optimus" said i should do that, after i did my 3G started working again and then i had that problem...


dnt know what else to do... apple will just say the profile is not configured properly.... =(

Luis: I can't help you with this. The eduroam profile shouldn't affect 3G connectivity. If it does, some other iPhone settings cause this problem or there is some sort of hardware problem.

I guessed this would work on an iPad too. I tried it, it asks for a password 3 times but no connection. On my iPhone, the same certificate gives a good result in the same room, at the same time. Can you help?

The second link works on an ipod itouch (32gb) at the University of Amsterdam (UvA). As username use your username + domain (for example: user@uva.nl)

Thank you very much
second profile works lika a charm at
ROC Midden Nederland

thank you!

Hey, I have an ipad WIFI and ive tried the methode you discribed but it doesnt work, it connects to eduroam, and when i open safari it asks for username and password so i type in my username@hva.nl and my hva password but it stil doesnt work any ideas ? it drives me crazy ?

Thanks a lot pal, worked perfectly!

At HvA the second profile (WEP)works excellent with my iPhone 3GS.
Thanks !

Hi Mark, I am a newbee with iPhones and don't have an internetsubscribtion on my phone. Is it possible to download the tudelft.mobileconfig on my computer and use iTunes to download it on my iPhone? Or is an internetconnection on my phone necessary? Thanks for helping..

@Brenda: You could try downloading the mobileconfig file and dragging it into iPhone section of your iTunes window.

I couldn't connect my iPhone 4 to Eduroam using these profiles, but I succeeded using the info about connecting an iPad (Google ipad_eduroam_NL.pdf), combined with the link to the TU Delft configuration file: studiolab.io.tudelft.nl/static/gems/mug/TUDelft.zip

It didn't work on my Iphone 3gs. Tried different profiles.
Finally I found out what I did wrong: I forgot to type the .nl after my TU-delft loginname! :-)
Stupid, but now It works with the TU delft luchthaven profile from j.mp/delftconfig

Thanks!

I'm having the same problem as Luis!
My iPhone 4 worked just fine before installing eduroam certificate. After installing it I get: "could not activate cellular data network" when I turn it to 3G... I restored my iPhone 2x before i could understand that the problem just started after installing eduroam certificate. Does anyone else is having the same problem.. any solutions?

I have the same problem. Before installing eduroam my WiFi worked perfectelly, but after downloading eduroam it didn't work anymore. I already deleted my eduroam account, and restored my iPodTouch twice. It still doesn't work. Please anyone can help me????

Both do not work at University of Amsterdam (Academic Medical Center), unfortunately. Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you very much!
The second one works perfect at the University of the Basque Country.

Works like a charm at Erasmus University, thanks!

For EUR students: use the second config file and your full login-name
(like: 123456ab@eur.nl)

Thank you very much!!!! i change recently my password in eduroam and i tried everything to reset it, but this was the only way to solve the problem, Thanks again!!!

Hi Mark) Thanks a lot for the profile. It works perfectly (Chalmers and Göteborgs Universitet). It's said in the manuals for eduroam, that iPhone can easily be connected to network. No way!!!! Anyway, thanks again))

It works at my university: Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm (KTH). But I noticed that it does work fine even if you do not install the general profile but just enter your username and password. I think that it has made even easier to log in to the eduroam network.

Thanks,it works in Czech Republic in Prague..i hope my wi-fi will be working normal at home

Does this work for iOS5? Does anyone know how to install eduroam profile for iOS5 for TU Delft?

Yes, it works fine on iOS5 and can be installed using the same instructions.

Op tu delft kun je tegenwoordig verbinden met visitor netwerk en daar, zonder te hoeven inloggen, staat een download bestandje... Nergens last van!

Hello! I just wanna now if its working this in Slovenian school too? Please anwser me!

If your school uses Eduroam it should work just fine.

Hey

I tried using the internet after installing your profile, but it keep telling me that I can’t connect.
Then I check through the program and was wondering it my problem may be cause by the fact that the signature algorithm expires 28/10/11?

That's probably the signing date, not the expiry date. The profile should still work.

Ik heb een vraagje!

Ik heb het gedownload en het profiel stond gewoon bij mijn algemen instellingen en alles. Maar toen ik op school kwam moest ik inloggen met m'n hva id en dat lukte niet.m

Gaat btw om een iPad 2 (firmware 5.1)

Please help!

@Oglaya: dan heb je waarschijnlijk de username verkeerd ingevuld, soms moet daar namelijk nog b.v. "@tudelft.nl" achter.
