eduroam: New setup required by December

    by GWDG News Team

    As expected, the current certificate for the GWDG’s eduroam server will expire in early December. The GWDG will therefore discontinue support for old configurations as of December 1, 2026. We are currently in the transition phase, as the new configuration is already available to you and you can switch your devices over immediately. If you still wish to use your device with the old configuration from December onward, you will no longer be able to connect to the eduroam Wi-Fi network.
