Guide to accessing FBK WiFi Networks

Guide to accessing eduroam and GuestsFbk WiFi networks

Eduroam

In order to implement the security level in FBK, we do not recommend users to connect directly to the network "Eduroam" and authenticate by entering their FBK credentials and the domain "@fbkeduroam.it".

Username: username@fbkeduroam.it
Password: FBK password

Although this approach allows the user to connect, it exposes him to security risks and possible attacks.

The preferred approach is as follows:

- Delete the previous eduroam connection if it has already been configured

- Connect to the Eduroam CAT https://cat.eduroam.org/

- Select "Click here to download your eduroam installer"

- Select the Organisation "Fondazione Bruno Kessler"

- Choose the user group "FbkEduroam"

- Click on "eduroam"

TIP: For more information click the "i" button next to the "eduroam" button

The procedure differs depending on the operating system used:

 

A - Computer:

Windows: The downloaded file is a simple executable, just run the program

Linux: The downloaded file is a python script, just open a terminal and write "python3 <path-file-downloaded>"

macOS: The downloaded file is a configuration profile, just click twice on the file

 

B - Mobile devices:

Android:

- versions over 11: You must install the geteduroam app from the Play Store  (https://play.google.com/store/apps/detailsːid=app.eduroam.geteduroam&hl=en&gl=US&pli=1)

- versions lower than 11: You must install the eduroam XML file

iOS/iPadOs: The downloaded file is a configuration profile; to configure it, once installed, just go to settings. You can find the guide here.

Chrome OS: The installer is a file with the extension '.onc. To import it open Chrome and go to the chrome://network URL. Then use the "Import ONC files" button. The import is silent; the new network definitions will be added to your favorite networks.
