Don,
You have to use a separate SSID for Eduroam and as a matter of fact, has to be called "eduroam". This is per the requirements from Eduroam. In regards to complexity and/or issues the two main things you need to make sure is that your wireless network is capable of supporting 802.1X for authentication and your RADIUS servers are capable of proxying RADIUS authentication requests. The Eduroam website (http://www.eduroamus.org/) has a lot of useful information on how it works and how to get connected. Other than those two technical issues it is fairly simple to get connected to Eduroam. --Samuel -- Samuel Petreski Information Security Manager Georgetown University [email protected] (202) 687-0132 - office (202) 503-4262 - cell From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wright, Donald Sent: Friday, July 29, 2011 3:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Eduroam questions We have a mandate to setup Eduroam for our campus for the upcoming fall semester and I was wondering how others have done this in the past. Did you use a separate ssid made available throughout your campus ? Any issues or gotchas that I should be aware of as far initial response time for users, credential caching and roaming, etc ?
