My account
In the my account menu the logo of your organization (OTH-AW) should be
displayed . You can also check how many of your Profiles are in use and
how many can still be issued. The Status shows if your access to
easyroam is still active. It is possible that you can no longer issue
new Certificates, however the old ones might still be valid. Only the
easyroam admins of your organization may remove this restriction.
Please note. The name of the profile is not the name of the PKCS12 file. The name of the profile is used for the internal administration of the easyroam profiles. The name of the downloaded PKCS12 file is formed from the date and time of the generation of the PKCS12 file with the suffix .p12.
5. The CLI of openssl is used to extract the individual components such as the client certificate, the private key and the RootCA certificate:
Please note that Import Password of the .p12 - file is empty. When using openssl, pay attention to the wording: Enter Import Password with <return> acknowledge.
Client certificate:
openssl pkcs12 -in my_easyroam_cert.p12 -legacy -nokeys > easyroam_client_cert.pemPlease note, the -legacy option must be omitted here and in the following. Unfortunately, the use of the OpenSSL option is version dependent.
Private Key:
Please note, since the various network managers and the wpa_supplicant usually only accept password protected private keys, a password must be set during extraction. With the following command first Enter Import Password appears, so acknowledge with <Return>, then Enter PEM pass phrase appears: Here you enter a new password and remember it!
openssl pkcs12 -legacy -in my_easyroam_cert.p12 -nodes -nocerts | openssl rsa -aes256 -out easyroam_client_key.pemRootCA certificate:
openssl pkcs12 -in my_easyroam_cert.p12 -cacerts > easyroam_root_ca.pemThe .p12 at a glance:
openssl pkcs12 -info -in my_easyroam_cert.p12 -legacy -nodesThe certificate files can also be assembled with copy/paste. It should be noted that the private key must still be provided with a password.
6. There are indeed instructions on the net for configuring EAP-TLS on various network managers from the specified components. As an example, the CLI netctl on Archlinux is used to show how EAP-TLS and thus easyroam/eduroam can be configured on a Linux device. The following is required:
- netctl
- wpa_spplicant
- easyroam .p12 pseudo certificate
description='easyroam connection' Interface=wlan0 Connection=wireless Security='wpa-configsection' IP='dhcp' WPAConfigSection=( 'ssid="eduroam"' 'key_mgmt=WPA-EAP' 'eap=TLS' 'proto=WPA RSN' 'identity="76673789883214453797@easyroam.realm_der_einrichtung.tld"' # Hier muss der CN (Common Name) aus dem easyroam Pseudozertifikat stehen! 'client_cert="/etc/netctl/cert/easyroam_client_cert.pem"' 'private_key="/etc/netctl/cert/easyroam_client_key.pem"' 'private_key_passwd="FORYOUREYSEONLY"' 'ca_cert="/etc/netctl/cert/easyroam_root_ca.pem"' 'ca_cert2="/etc/netctl/cert/easyroam_root_ca.pem"' )Run the following command with root privileges:
netctl start easyroam
If easyroam shall be installed permanently run the following command:
netctl enable easyroam

- If you have serial appintments in your calendar that were created with old GroupWise clients (BEFORE 14.0.2) OR individual appointments from the series have been changed, then not all appointments may appear on your Mac calendar.
- Multiple address books do not appear on the Mac - this is a limitation of MacOS - on an iPhone connected via CardDAV all address books appear.
- GroupWise distribution lists do not appear in the address book - this is a MacOS limitation - Apple Contacts does not support groups yet.
- Shared calendars (from other people to you) do not support push updates (i.e. you may have to wait up to an hour for an update (or press Command-R).
- Substitution access is not available - and probably never will be, as this is not part of the CalDAV/CardDAV concept.
- Support for MacOS-X "tasks" is not (yet) available.

Now you will see (under your name) the links to your address books (click on "addressbooks") and to your calendars (click on "calendars"). These paths will also work in programmes that do not support automatic configuration (e.g. Evolution). Calendars beginning with a "." (dot) are system calendars and are used in CalDAV for internal communication (appointments in/out, notifications, etc.).
However, please understand that we do not provide support for these accesses!

- All other users (guest students, lecturers) obtain their credentials via the “Requests”-section of the Computer Centre.
- You were exmatriculated or your employment has ended. In that case you are no longer entitled to use the IT infrastructure of the University.
- Your account was locked due to frequent use of an incorrect password. If your password was wrongly entered multiple times your account is locked for 30 minutes. After that you can log into your account by entering the correct password. Incorrect logins are often a result of capslock or the keyboard language being set wrong.
- There may be uncertainties regarding documents or payment for the Students’ Office. Your account is deactivated, if payments weren’t performed or your documents were incomplete. Please refer to the Students’ Office. After successful clarification the Students’ Office will reenable your account.
- Your password may contain unsupported special characters. This may be causing you to be able to log in to certain services, but not others. Please change your password by using the “Change password” feature under “Services” and try again.
