Forgetting or Removing a Wi-Fi Profile (iOS & macOS)

Summary

Steps to remove outdated EDUROAM profiles from Apple devices after a certificate update

Body

As of June 17, TRU replaced the EDUROAM wireless certificate.

Some devices will automatically prompt you to trust the new certificate. Others may get stuck trying to use old settings and fail to connect.

To fix this, remove the previous EDUROAM profile from your device before reconnecting.

This article uses macOS-based steps, but the instructions also apply to iPhones and iPads.
iOS differences are noted as needed.

Step 1: Open System Settings

macOS: Click the Apple menu, then choose System Settings

iOS: Open the Settings app from your home screen or App Library

Step 2: Open General

In System Settings, select General from the left-hand menu.

Step 3: Open VPN & Device Management

Under General, scroll to and select Profiles or Device Management.
This is where configuration profiles, including EDUROAM, are stored.

Step 4: Remove the EDUROAM Profile (if present)

Look for a profile named EDUROAM

  • Select the profile

  • Click Remove Profile, then confirm

If no profile appears: There’s nothing to remove. This means the profile was never installed or has already been deleted.

Step 5: Reconnect to EDUROAM

Go back to Wi-Fi settings.

  • Select EDUROAM from the list

  • Sign in with your TRU credentials

  • Accept the new certificate when prompted

Alternate Setup Option

If you're still having issues connecting, we recommend using Eduroam Configuration Tool to reset and configure the connection profile properly.
