Would someone on the list please send me their freeRadius config for the realm 
based eduroam authentication?  It will save me a lot of time.  We are planning 
on spinning up eduroam in the near future and having unc.edu<http://unc.edu> 
tunnel to a staff vlan and non unc.edu<http://unc.edu> go to others.  If you 
have some Aruba config snapshots that would be super duper as well :)

Linchuan, Patrick,

If you use the solution from Frank Sweetser or Danny Eaton, you really don't 
care which SSID your own users are latched on your campus.
Regardless of the SSID, make sure that your own users are being assigned to the 
same VLANs that they would be have been assigned
had they joined the regular secure SSID from your University.

When we talk to institutions about eduroam we tell them that there is really no 
need to create additional subnets if there is already a secure network
and a visitor network on campus (unless some specific designs require so). You 
can assign users with @local-school to the secure subnets/VLANs and assign user 
with @everything-else to your visitor subnets/VLANs.
And if you have a privileged relation with another neighboring campus you can 
also assign the secure VLANs to that REALM
(@theneighboringcampuswithwhomwehaveaprivilegedrelation) of that campus.

This method tends to make it easy on Firewall rules and subnet/VLAN creation.
You have to mess around with your Wi-Fi management system (e.g. controller 
etc...) and your RADIUS though!

This said...always make sure that you require the eduroam SSID to force the 
usage of the REALM (a condition that you can enforce in RADIUS),
regardless if local or not! (we forgot to do that initially at UTK, and we 
ended up with travelers not having a great eduroam experience)

We have the same issue, because our “main” SSID comes after eduroam 
(alphabetically, our main ssid begins with a “f”).  From what we found, anyone 
that has both eduroam and the “main” SSID configured on a iPhone, or iPad, will 
latch to eduroam, and requires manual interaction to switch.

There may be other methods, but from what I recall, none are 100% certain of 
working.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Question about the connection of iphone users (eduroam)

Dear All

Good morning. We noticed that most our iphone clients connect to the “eduroam” 
SSID automatically when they step into the campus (not our normal SSID for 
students, faculty, and staff). And the encryption and security settings are 
same between these two SSIDs. These clients have to manually change the 
wireless configuration on the iphones, and they can connect to our normal SSID.

We are using Cisco WLCs, and other devices (e.g. laptops, Android, etc.) do not 
have this problem.

Do you have the similar issue with your wireless network? Is there any 
connection strategies of iphone?

Thank you, and have a nice day.

Yours,
