 +====== eduroam with Linux (Desktop) ======
 +
 +**To ensure a secure eduroam configuration, it is strongly recommended to set up eduroam using the configuration wizard (CAT tool)!**
 +=====Setting up the eduroam with the CAT tool=====
 +
 +After downloading the [[ https://cat.eduroam.org/|eduroam CAT]] you have to make it executable. To achieve this first right click on the file and select //Properties// then select the Permissions tab and check the box next to //"Execute"//. Please also note that the behavior when executing files has been set correctly under //"Files Preferences"//

 +
 +Alternatively the file can be made executable by running //chmod +x // on that file.
 +Now you can run the assistant by double clicking it and selecting //Run//.
 +Now walk through the assistant until you are asked for your //userid//, then enter your username as described in the [[en:services:network_services:eduroam:#username|username]] section
 +of this article. After clicking on OK enter your password and confirm it.
 +
 +After you complete the wizard, the NetworkManager should automatically connect you to the eduroam network if it is available. 
 +
 +If you do not have a Network Manager running during the installation, the assistant will create a //wpa_supplicant.conf//. For details on how to use this config file
 +see the article [[en:services:network_services:eduroam:linux_wpa_supplicant| wpa_supplicant]].
 +
 +
 +=====Manual setup of the eduroam=====
 +
 +<WRAP center round important 80%>
 +If the eduoram network is configured manually a "man-in-the-middle attack" is possible because the client will accept any certificate signed by the Deutsche Telekom CA. So if it is possible the configuration assistant should be used.
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +Eduroam can be set up manually under "Settings" -> "Wi-Fi"
 +Switch on the Wi-Fi and select the "eduroam" network under "Visible Networks".
 +Click the button with the lock on the listed network "eduroam" to configure "eduroam".
 +A window opens in which the necessary settings have to be configured.
 +Then press the "Connect" button.
 +Please enter your  [[en:services:network_services:eduroam:#username|username]] and password in the login window.
 +You should now be connected to eduroam.
