    Configure iOS device or Mac OS X Lion for use with 802.1X CampusWLAN from HS RM

    With this configuration guide you can configure your iPhone or iPod Touch via Mac OS X 10.5 for the CampusWLAN of the Hochschule Rhein-Main.

    The actual configuration guide for desktop computers can be found here.

    Necessary previous steps:

    1. Download Telekom Certificate (if you have not already done so).
    2. Download iPhone Configuration Utility from Apple
    3. Install and open iPhone Configuration Utility

    Create new profile:
    iPhone-KonfigurationsprogrammSchnappschuss001

    Use the name you like. I used CampusWLAN twice:
    iPhone-KonfigurationsprogrammSchnappschuss003

    Go to Wi-Fi:
    iPhone-KonfigurationsprogrammSchnappschuss004

    Enter CampusWLAN as SSID, choose Company WPA/WPA2 and select (only) PEAP:
    iPhone-KonfigurationsprogrammSchnappschuss005

    Click on Identification and enter your ITC user name:
    iPhone-KonfigurationsprogrammSchnappschuss006

    Go to Certificates:
    iPhone-KonfigurationsprogrammSchnappschuss007

    Add the certificate from Deutsche Telekom:
    iPhone-KonfigurationsprogrammSchnappschuss008

    Go back to Wi-Fi, choose Trust and tick Deutsche Telekom Root CA 2:
    iPhone-KonfigurationsprogrammSchnappschuss011

    If you want to use the configuration on your iOS device, select your device in the left column, go to Configuration Profile and click the Install button:
    iPhone-KonfigurationsprogrammSchnappschuss012

    If you want to use the profile on Mac OS X Lion (10.7), click ‘Export’ on the top bar of the iPhone Configuration Utility and save it, e.g., to your desktop. Afterwards, double-click the profile to install it. Finally, choose this profile in the ‘System Preferences’ app under Network -> Wi-Fi -> Advanced… -> 802.1X.

    Finish the installation on your device and enter your ITC password (Keep in my mind: You cannot use your root password. You must have created a user password before.)
