For students and employees, the computer center operates a wireless network (WLAN) at all HSB locations.
There are two WLAN networks available for different purposes with the names "eduroam" and "Hochschule-Bremen":
By participating in the roaming service of the "Verein zur Förderung eines Deutschen Forschungsnetzes" (DFN), the Hochschule Bremen is connected to the international educational roaming project. Via eduroam, users at participating institutions receive network access without additional registration. Thus, all members of the Bremen University of Applied Sciences, with their user account, also have the possibility to connect to the Internet at other eduroam locations worldwide.
A valid user account of the University of Applied Sciences Bremen is required to log in to the WLAN "eduroam". Students and employees of other universities log in with the user ID of their home institution.
All students and employees have access to data services of the Hochschule Bremen as well as to the internet via the WLAN "eduroam". For security reasons, not all internal network services are accessible from this WLAN.
Access to the WLAN "eduroam" is secured via a WPA2 encrypted connection.
The connection to the WLAN "eduroam" is made via the login service www.easyroam.de. There, after a successful login with the corresponding app, certificates (profiles) for your devices are generated and made available. For more information on easyroam, please refer to the DFN configuration instructions and the HSB wiki pages.
For the initial installation of the easyroam app under Windows (Download: https://www.easyroam.de/winapp/easyroam.msix) an Internet connection is required (e.g. LAN cable, home WLAN or mobile phone/hotspot) is required.
The WLAN network "Hochschule-Bremen" is freely accessible to all, unencrypted and provides access to our website. It is also used to activate user accounts for newly enrolled students and as Internet access for guests who do not have access to eduroam.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows you to connect to the university network via the Internet from off campus. This allows you to access internal university servers and use access-restricted resources of the State and University Library.
To establish a VPN connection, you need the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. The use is free of charge for HSB students.
The central directory with the e-mail addresses and telephone numbers of the employees of the Bremen University of Applied Sciences can only be accessed in the university network. You can access this LDAP-based service with LDAP clients or with suitable address book functions, such as those integrated in Netscape, Mozilla or Outlook.
The following settings are necessary to access the directory service.
LDAP-Server /Hostname/Servername: ldap.hs-bremen.de

Make sure that you have fully set up your network connections. Furthermore, you should check the settings of your firewall.
In case of major problems, for example with the VPN client, contact the staff of the computer centre.
Unless you have general problems accessing the WiFi, one possible error is that the distance to the nearest access point is too great.
Another interference factor is too great a load on the network. This is the case, for example, when many people in the same room are using the WiFi.
