You will now reach the following selection, which is to be chosen according to the personal affiliation to the organisation:

1. Uni Leipzig: Profile file for members (staff, students, guests) of Leipzig University for access to the “eduroam” network without access to internal services (mostly private devices and devices of the university that do not use internal services).
2. Uni Leipzig – intern/fip: Profile file for employees of the Leipzig University for access to the “eduroam” network with access to internal services (devices of the university)
