My account
In the my account menu the logo of your organization (OTH-AW) should be

how many can still be issued. The Status shows if your access to
easyroam is still active. It is possible that you can no longer issue
new Certificates, however the old ones might still be valid. Only the
easyroam admins of your organization may remove this restriction.
Please note. The name of the profile is not the name of the PKCS12 file. The name of the profile is used for the internal administration of the easyroam profiles. The name of the downloaded PKCS12 file is formed from the date and time of the generation of the PKCS12 file with the suffix .p12.
5. The CLI of openssl is used to extract the individual components such as the client certificate, the private key and the RootCA certificate:
Please note that Import Password of the .p12 - file is empty. When using openssl, pay attention to the wording: Enter Import Password with <return> acknowledge.
Client certificate:
openssl pkcs12 -in my_easyroam_cert.p12 -legacy -nokeys > easyroam_client_cert.pemPlease note, the -legacy option must be omitted here and in the following. Unfortunately, the use of the OpenSSL option is version dependent.
Private Key:
Please note, since the various network managers and the wpa_supplicant usually only accept password protected private keys, a password must be set during extraction. With the following command first Enter Import Password appears, so acknowledge with <Return>, then Enter PEM pass phrase appears: Here you enter a new password and remember it!
openssl pkcs12 -legacy -in my_easyroam_cert.p12 -nodes -nocerts | openssl rsa -aes256 -out easyroam_client_key.pemRootCA certificate:
openssl pkcs12 -in my_easyroam_cert.p12 -cacerts > easyroam_root_ca.pemThe .p12 at a glance:
openssl pkcs12 -info -in my_easyroam_cert.p12 -legacy -nodesThe certificate files can also be assembled with copy/paste. It should be noted that the private key must still be provided with a password.
6. There are indeed instructions on the net for configuring EAP-TLS on various network managers from the specified components. As an example, the CLI netctl on Archlinux is used to show how EAP-TLS and thus easyroam/eduroam can be configured on a Linux device. The following is required:
- netctl
- wpa_spplicant
- easyroam .p12 pseudo certificate
description='easyroam connection' Interface=wlan0 Connection=wireless Security='wpa-configsection' IP='dhcp' WPAConfigSection=( 'ssid="eduroam"' 'key_mgmt=WPA-EAP' 'eap=TLS' 'proto=WPA RSN' 'identity="76673789883214453797@easyroam.realm_der_einrichtung.tld"' # Hier muss der CN (Common Name) aus dem easyroam Pseudozertifikat stehen! 'client_cert="/etc/netctl/cert/easyroam_client_cert.pem"' 'private_key="/etc/netctl/cert/easyroam_client_key.pem"' 'private_key_passwd="FORYOUREYSEONLY"' 'ca_cert="/etc/netctl/cert/easyroam_root_ca.pem"' 'ca_cert2="/etc/netctl/cert/easyroam_root_ca.pem"' )Run the following command with root privileges:
netctl start easyroam
If easyroam shall be installed permanently run the following command:
netctl enable easyroam
