Downloading the eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool
Download and further setup can be done with any internet connection (e.g. using "mobile data", the WLAN "HTWD-Web" of the HTW Dresden or the Wi-Fi network at home). No eduroam access point within reach is required during setup. It is also sufficient to transfer the installer via USB stick to the target system.
Open the website cat.eduroam.org, narrow down the selection by entering ‘htw’ and choose HTW Dresden. If you use the link to the eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool you don't need to make a choice. After the operating system has been recognized press the download button, otherwise, select "Choose another installer to download" and then the correct download.
An existing installer should have Gen2 in its name, otherwise download the current one. Start the installation file in your Downloads folder.
Running the eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool
Confirm the information screens with Continue and OK.
When quering your username use your HTWD login name supplemented by ‘@htw-dresden.de’, so in the form s12345@htw-dresden.de or mmuster(at)htw-dresden.de (not your mail address). The password is that of your HTWD login. After entering it twice confirm with Install.
Now the installer configures a WLAN profile independently. Click Finish to finish the installation.
If you are still connected to another Wi-Fi network you can disconnect, and instead, connect to eduroam. As a secure network you should prefer it for wireless connections within HTWD.
If this is not the case, deactivate and re-activate WLAN reception on your laptop. If this does not help, the user name or password is often entered incorrectly. In this case, please repeat the execution of the configuration program.
