This course provides participants with hands on experience of how eduroam operates at both a basic technical level, but also at a support level. Hands on experience is provided showing how a RADIUS server can be configured for eduroam (both for home and for visited usage), examination of the RADIUS proxy traffic and changing the contents of proxied messages.

This course will be relevant to those tasked with supporting an eduroamUK service within their organisation. This might include support staff wanting to learn more about user equipment and secure wireless configuration and service managers examining what their support staff need to know. Delegates should have an understanding of networking, wireless technology and authentication. Knowledge of how their organisation stores user credentials would be of benefit.

eduroam

There is a chance that the use of eduroam by NHS organisations might be included in the NHS Interoperability Toolkit if it gets enough votes: The use of eduroam by NHS organisations in their own right is something that was initially hoped to be achieved through the N3 Janet Gateway Phase II project and it is still hoped that might be possible in the future.

eduroam(UK) Technical Specification

The purpose of this document is to call for ideas from the community and to provide space for contributions towards development of the eduroam(UK) Technical Specification beyond the current 1.3 which was released in June 2013. In the last 2 and a half years a number of issues have arisen and technical evolution has taken place. Version 1.4 will incorporate relatively minor updates that have been identified, but we are still open to suggestions for change. It is planned to release 1.4 during Q1 of 2016.

Advice regarding keeping eduroam credentials secure

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.
