Mathematical Institute of the University of Bonn

Access to the wireless network (WLAN) of the Mathematical Institute of the University of Bonn with Apple OS X 10.9.5 („Mavericks“)

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. For higher connection speeds, you can additionally configure the proxy settings in your webbrowser.

Adding the certificate

Double click on the file cert.p12 (either directly in your mail program or wherever you saved it), which you got via email. Add it to the Login chain.

Click Add and a window asking you to enter a password appears. Enter the password given to you in the email or, if none was specified, enter WLAN and click OK.

Setting up network access

Select the network MI from the list of available Wi-Fi connections.

A new window appears asking for credentials. Change the Mode to EAP-TLS, select your identity and leave Username empty. Click Join to continue.

Note: In case you cannot select your identity or the specified mode (e.g. being instead asked for username and password for the network instead), don't enter anything and abort. It might be caused by an incorrect installation of the certificate.

After a few seconds the following message appears:

Select Always Allow.

If you have multiple certificates installed a window might appear, asking which certificate to be used. Select the one installed in section above and leave the field Account Name empty.

You should now be connected with the MI Network.
