Connect to eduroam using macOS

[Ahutch0]

   Connecting to eduroam is only necessary when off campus at another institution. When on campus,
   connect to the RMIT-University wifi network.
   1. Click on the wifi icon   and select the eduroam network to connect

       

2. When prompted, enter your student/staff ID in the format sXXXXXXX@rmit.edu.au/eXXXXX@rmit.edu.au along with your RMIT password and click Join.

Once you click Join, the wireless icon should turn black and you should now have a working internet connection.

NOTE: If you have connected to eduroam on your Mac before, you may have the deprecated eduroam profile, which you will need to remove first. The following instructions explain how to do this:

1. Open System Preferences (/Applications/System Preferences)

2. Select Profiles

3. Select Eduroam from the list of User Profiles, and then click on the minus sign sign at the bottom-left.

4. Click on the wifi icon   and select the eduroam network to connect.
5. When prompted, enter your student/staff ID in the format sXXXXXXX/eXXXXX@rmit.edu.au along with your RMIT password and click Join.

I think I saw an announcement somewhere about the previous certificate procedure changing but can't seem to find it anymore. Anyway:

Step 2 in the first section suggests sXXXXXXX@student.rmit.edu.au/eXXXXX@rmit.edu.au, but the the updated part at the bottom lists sXXXXXXX/eXXXXX@rmit.edu.au (without the student.edu.au) for student accounts too.

I tried both yesterday (2017-04-16) at a non-RMIT campus and it appears the latter (id@rmit.edu.au) remains the correct format. I can confirm that I had to remove my old certificate/profile in macOS.

Hi @Raymond

You are correct: the format for the username should be sXXXXXXX@rmit.edu.au (not the email format of @student.rmit.edu.au). The previous must have been a typo.

This has been updated. Thanks for catching this one!

Hi @Ahutch0,

I am on a OSx 10.14 and cannot see the "profiles" setting and cannot log in to eduroam either. Can you give me information what should be done?

I was connected until I had to change my password.

Thank you.
