Summary
As part of the continuing programme of improving the eduroam services provided by our members throughout the UK we are contacting organisations on an individual basis where particular issues have been identified. However there are some fairly simple things in the Technical Specification, not involving any RADIUS/802.1X/Wi-Fi aspects, that members can check and fix where necessary to improve their services without needing to be prompted by eduroam(UK).
Audience - eduroam(UK) system administrators and implementors
We are delighted to announce dates for the following eduroam training courses.
Following on from Scott's presentation at the pre-Networkshop eduroam Forum on Chargeable User Identity in eduroam https://community.ja.net/groups/eduroam/document/nws41-eduroam-forum-presentations-cui the 'Chargeable User Identity for eduroam' document in the Community Library area has been updated with a DRAFT!! how-to guide for FreeRADIUS, see:

Audience - eduroam(UK) system administrators and implementors
Although the eduroam(UK) Technical Specification 1.2 has been released for a little while now, with the imminent release of exciting new service features, now might be a good time to review your eduroam service deployment.
Over the past few weeks we've come across a number of situations where users have been sharing, or encouraging the sharing of eduroam credentials between each other. For instance a user might want to provide temporary access for a friend or a visiting lecturer from a non-eduroam organisation might want immediate network access. It should be clear to us as system managers that this is not safe behaviour.
This advisory is relevant to all participants in the UK providing the eduroam federated service historically known as the Janet Roaming Service. Organisations are requested to review their service-related web material.
