Mathematical Institute of the University of Bonn

Access to the Institute for Mathematic's wireless network (WLAN) under Android 4.4

In order to use the Mathematical Institute's wireless network and surf the web, you have to add your access certificate and set up the network access.

Adding the certificate

Copy the certificate file cert.p12 on your device. Do so by either connecting your device to a PC via a USB Connection, or save it directly from the email (provided you have an internet connection already).
Open „Settings“ and navigate to „Security“.

Select „Install from storage“ and choose the cert.p12 file.
Give it a useful name (e.g. „brandes@math.uni-bonn“ in this example) and select „Wi-Fi“ as „Credential use“ from the dropdown menu. Confirm with OK.

A dialog „Extract Certificate“ will open up. Enter WLAN as password and confirm it with OK.

Setting up network access

In order to set up network access, proceed as follows:
Choose the WiFi connection „MI“ from the available connections. Select „TLS“ as EAP method, leave the CA certificate section blank and select the certificate by the name you gave it in the previous step (e.g. „brandes@math.uni-bonn“ in our example).
Type in the identity given to you in the email and tap on „Connect“.
