An Authentification without prior configuration with your user name is possible. If you tried to connect to the KIT networks before and are now encountering a problem, please delete the existing configuration by following these steps:

  • Go to "Utilities" and choose "Network"
  • Choose "Wi-Fi" and disable it
  • Click on "more options " in "Network"
  • Choose KIT in the "Wi-Fi" tab and remove it from your "preferred networks" by clicking the minus icon
  • Click on "Go" -> "Applications" -> "Services" -> "key chain administration" and delete all KIT entries
  • Reenable Wi-Fi

With the Apple Configurator 2 (https://support.apple.com/apple-configurator) it is possible to create configuration profiles for macOS. At the moment we are working for being able to offer such configuration profiles in the future.
