Group administrators:

Uptake of NAPTR record definition in DNS (to enable RadSec DD) is increasing

19/11/2012:

The latest organisations to define NAPTR records in their DNS to boost international roaming authentication performance for their users are:

National Science Learning Centre

Northumbria University

Rothamsted Research

The Pirbright Institute

University of Glamorgan

These join the list of the following (gold star!) organisations which were the first to carry out the configuration:

Coventry University

Liverpool John Moores University

Loughborough University

University of Bristol

University of Cambridge

University of Reading

University of Strathclyde

Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute

How the definition of a NAPTR (Name Authority Pointer) record that points to the Janet roaming  _radsec._tcp. record and enables international authentications to utilise RadSec dynamic discovery is described in the eduroam blog:

It is pretty simple to do.
