The eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT) automatically configures the eduroam wireless network profile on your system. It works on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Chrome OS, and Linux, and can be accessed with any type of connection (cellular, Wi-Fi or wired connection).


The CAT tool is quick, easy, safe, reliable and its use is strongly recommended. CAT streamlines the configuration process and avoids many problems experienced with other setup methods.

 Instructions

  1. Go to http://cat.eduroam.org/?idp=831 from the device you are trying to connect to eduroam.

  2. Carefully read and follow the on-screen instructions.

  3. When asked to provide credentials to access the eduroam network, enter them as follows:
    Username: yourkerberosid@ucdavis.edu
    Password: Your Kerberos Passphrase

Your Username is not your email address, it’s your Kerberos ID@ucdavis.edu. This may be the same as your email address, but not always.
