Setting up the user certificate in IOS Safari
The user certificate must be installed in the web browser in order to gain access to exam registration with the web browser. The following explains how to install the certificate.
The interaction between Safari, the user certificate and the iOS operating system has proven to be very error-prone.
The following problems are known:
- Certificate is not accepted - The certificate is not accepted in the browser or errors occur during registration.
- Error after successful registration - If the registration works, there are often other errors within the examination portal that prevent a binding registration or viewing of the grades. It may help to reload the page.
If you do not yet have a user certificate at this point, the following link will tell you how to obtain one: Obtaining user certificate ("Beschaffung des Hochschulzertifikats")
