To help staff and students of the James Hutton Institute connect to the eduroam wireless network, this page provides instructions for connecting from a Mac.

These instructions should be followed whilst onsite at the Aberdeen or Dundee sites of the James Hutton Institute.

Visitors to the James Hutton Institute who wish to use eduroam should have already setup their device based on their home site’s instructions before visiting.

  • Download and open this eduroam profile on your Mac.
  • The profile will open in a “System Preferences – Profiles” window. You can select “Show Profile” to give you further details of this profile.

  • Select “Continue” twice to confirm you want to install the eduroam profile along with the “Hutton-CA” certificate.
  • When prompted to enter settings for this profile, enter the following and click on the “Install” button:
    Username: Your Hutton email address. For example james.hutton@hutton.ac.uk
    Password: Your Hutton password.
Install Eduroam on a Mac step two
  • You may be asked to enter your username and password for your Mac, and then after a few seconds the profile will complete installing and you should connect to eduroam. You can now close the “System Preferences – Profiles” window.
