How to access eduroam

[italiano]

In order to access the eduroam network, employees and students of the University of Padua must perform a configuration procedure for their devices (laptop, smartphone, tablet) with the parameters (username, password, digital certificate, cryptographic methods, etc.) provided by the university.

The University adheres to CAT (Eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool), a service that allows the automatic configuration of your device.

The username and password to be used are the same as those used for e-mail authentication; the username must include the domain (@ students.unipd.it or @ unipd.it).

Important: it's necessary to have an alternative network connection, like a data connection or WIFI; it's possible to execute eduroam's configuration also in areas not covered by the Eduroam network (like at home).

In case of problems it's possible to consult the FAQ page: https://asit.unipd.it/servizi/servizi-utenti-istituzionali/eduroam/faq and contact the call center (for students) or the institutional helpdesk (for teachers and employees), at the "Eduroam" queue.
