Access to Hohenheim network via eduroam

If you are visiting a scientific institution, you can connect to the internet using eduroam (education roaming). In addition, you can set up an additional VPN connection to the Hohenheim network in order to access electronic journals, for example.

Installation

To connect via eduroam, you will need to install access to eduroam on your device.

Windows/iOS/MacOS/Linux: You call up the page https://cat.eduroam.org/ in the browser (Edge, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari etc.) on the device concerned. Usually your operating system is recognised immediately and you only need to select the home organisation, in our case the University of Hohenheim, and follow the instructions. After that, other steps are necessary depending on the operating system. Here we refer to the installation instructions linked below.

Android: Download the "geteduroam" app onto your device and follow the instructions.

You can find detailed installation instructions for this program here:

Test in Hohenheim

If you are planning on using eduroam outside of Hohenheim, it is a good idea to test it briefly on the premises before you leave. You can find eduroam networks in all areas on the campus equipped with WiFi.

Accessing the Internet via eduroam

Eduroam isn’t working?

  • Make sure that your WiFi is working.
  • Make sure that you have entered “Hohenheim user account"@uni-hohenheim.de (e. g. saloki22@uni-hohenheim.de) for your identity and not your email address (firstname.surname@uni-hohenheim.de).
  • If you need to enter a domain, please enter uni-hohenheim.de.

Connecting  with the Hohenheim network, as well
