Wireless Network Configuration
To configure the eduroam, INFN-Dot1x and CNAF-Dot1x1 networks, the use of the eduroam CAT application is strongly recommended.
Instructions and software for the major operating systems and mobile devices are available at:
https://cat.eduroam.org/
Warning: installation via eduroam CAT will overwrite any existing configuration for the eduroam, INFN-Dot1x and CNAF-Dot1x networks.
Before Installation
It is recommended to:
- remove any existing profiles for the eduroam, INFN-Dot1x and CNAF-Dot1x networks;
- select Forget Network for these SSIDs if they are already configured on the device;
- carefully verify the credentials to be used.
Credentials for INFN Ferrara Users
Users of the INFN Ferrara Division must use:
- their local Division credentials (FreeIPA);
- not their national INFN AAI credentials.
The username must be specified in the following format:
username@fe.infn.itAs a general rule for all INFN users, the username must include the domain associated with the credentials being used.
1 CNAF-Dot1x is the equivalent of the INFN-Dot1x network and is available exclusively at CNAF, in order to avoid interference and overlap with the INFN-Dot1x network of the INFN Bologna Division.
