Setup Eduroam WiFi via CAT (Configuration Assistant Tool)

In the settings menu, go to Network. Click on the arrow next to your currently active network. Under "known networks" you will find any Eduroam profiles that should be deleted. By clicking on the arrow next to the profile in question, you can forget / delete the network.    

2. Step: Install secure facility-specific Eduroam profile with CAT

For a secure connection setup, some settings and the installation of a security certificate are necessary. The latter ensures that your end device does not simply trust any (malicious) access point and pass on your login data.

The installation of the certificate as well as the setting of the settings do not have to be done laboriously by hand. For this purpose, there is a profile that can be installed on ChromeOS. You can download the appropriate profile for ChromeOS from the website https://cat.eduroam.org.
