Configuration of eduroam

To connect, you need:

1. A device equipped with WiFi wireless technology – the radio part complies with the 802.11 standard, the equipment must also comply with applicable laws and standards in the Czech Republic (see General Authorization of the Czech Telecommunication Office), the network card / equipment supports WPA / WPA2 and encrypt the password with MSCHAPv2.

2. Set a separate eduoram password – you need to know your school username and school password. You can change your eduroam password at any time.

3. Configure the network connection correctly, ie the parameters from the following table. You can use prepared eduroamCAT configurations or to configure them manually (instructions below).

Connection Parameters for Users from VŠE

If the first five parameters are set incorrectly, you will not be connected. If you do not set the authentication server name and certification authority to verify the authenticity of the authentication server, anyone can intercept and read your Internet communications (collect passwords, read your messages, send data on your behalf, …).

Configuration Procedure

1. Set your password for eduroam.
2. Configure eduroam on the device. Use one of the following options. It is advisable to be within range of the eduroam wireless network when setting up.

• Download the configuration program/configuration script for your device (e.g. via mobile data or home Wi-Fi) from cat.eduroam.org. The program/script sets parameters – you just enter username (including @vse.cz) and password to eduroam.
• Or, set your own parameters according to a manual for the particular operating system:
  • • Windows 10
    • Android
    • iPhone/iPad
    • macOS/MacOS X
    • Linux

Setting up with geteduroam

For easy and secure set up of Eduroam network on your device, we recommend the geteduroam application. The app automatically sets up everything needed including security certificates.

Setup procedure

1. Download the geteduroam application:
   • Google Play (Android)
   • App Store (iOS/iPadOS)
   • There is a web-based version for Linux at geteduroam.app
   • The geteduroam application isn’t working on Microsoft Windows, use our tutorial here
2. Run the application and find institution Vysoká škola ekonomická v Praze or Prague University of Economics and Business.
3. Login with your school Eduroam credentials:
   • Username: username@vse.cz
   • Password: your eduroam/VPN password (different from the password for InSIS, can be set up at https://eduroam.vse.cz/app)
4. Application will automatically set up Eduroam on your device.

Notes

• For username, always use the whole address username@vse.cz, not only your username.
• geteduroam application replaces formerly used eduroamCAT tool.

Anonymous identity

In realm @ vse.cz we support anonymous identity – if you connect to eduroam in a foreign network (at another school), the service (access point manager) will not know your identity. Only anonymous@vse.cz will be in the logs.

But it is not absolute anonymity – employees of the Department of Network Infrastructure of the University of Economics are able to trace the anonymous identity and the real identity under which the user authenticated to eduroam.

Configuration applications / scripts from cat.eduroam.org set anonymous identity.
