• Setting up uni-ms and eduroam with CAT

  1. Software download

  Go to the Eduroam website and click the button that says “Click here to download your eduroam installer.” 

  

  2. Select organisation

  A drop-down menu will open. Select “University of Münster” from the menu. You can also use the search field if needed.

  

  3. Select eduroam

  Click on the download button "eduroam". The installation program for the two university Wi-Fi networks "uni-ms" and "eduroam" is being downloaded.

  

  4. Allow download

  Please allow the download.

  

  5. Profile loaded

  In the message stating that the profile has been loaded and can be installed in System Preferences, click “OK.”

  

  6. Open Profiles

  In System Settings, click “Profile Loaded” and double-click the loaded profile to open it. 

  

  7. Install the profile

  In the window that opens, click “Install...”

  

  8. Allow installation

  Click “Continue.”

  

  9. Entering User Information

  In the next step, enter your user information. Be sure to enter this information correctly - the CAT tool itself does not verify user data!
  
  Username: YourUser-ID@uni-muenster.de (NOTE: DO NOT use the email name you created yourself)
  
  Password: Your network access password (NOTE: NOT your university password!)
  
  Then click “Next”.
  
  This window appears again for "uni-ms".

  

  10. Finish the installation

  Click “Install”.

  

  11. Authentication

  To complete the installation, enter your Mac's password.

  

  12. Connect to Wi-Fi

  You can now connect to the “uni-ms” and “eduroam” Wi-Fi networks.
  You may need to re-enter your university e-mail address (university-ID@uni-muenster.de) and your network access password just this once.
