1- Currently, we have SSID's MSU-Secure, Guest-Users and EduRoam. We may move forward to one or two SSID's later one. Our Radius are not configured as connector.
2. The EduRoam deployment is not that difficulty. It depends what type of Radius Server you are using. 3. To minimize the Help Desk calls, ensure that the student/Faculty authenticate EduRoam with their full e-mail address (account [email protected]), locally. Because it will be the same credentials format when they are visiting other educational entities. --Alex Adao On Wed, Apr 18, 2018 at 9:19 PM, Davis, Kevin <[email protected]> wrote: > I just wanted to say “ditto” to what Chuck said, but with an underscore: I > would recommend you consider the value of making eduroam your primary > campus SSID.
