Many UK universities use Eduroam wireless networks which require certificate authentication along with a username and password. Despite following the official guide to getting my laptop setup at the University of Leeds, my laptop wouldn’t seem to connect – however, after a bit of playing I managed to get things up and running.
Here are the settings you will need:
Set ‘Wireless security’ to WPA or WPA2 Enterprise
Set ‘EAP method’ to TTLS
Set ‘Key type’ to MSCHAP
Set ‘Identity’ to your ISS Username with @leeds.ac.uk appended, for example jh1761@leeds.ac.uk
Type your normal ISS password into the password box
Leave ‘Anonymous Identity’ blank
Leave ‘Client certificate file’ set to (none)
Click the ‘CA Certificate file’ option, a file open window should popup – locate the file: /etc/ssl/certs/GTE_CyberTrust_Global_Root.pem , select it and click open
You should now find that the computer connects without any issues.
