* The main technical contact will be set up with an account on the JRS Support server to enable update of your configuration. (You can create secondary contacts if you wish through Support site).
** Service alerts and important notifications warranting your soonest attention only will be sent to this contact. Some organisations have chosen to use their service desk ticketing e-mail for this.
*** As per the JANET Roaming Technical Specification, the realm must be (or be derived from) a DNS name from the organisation’s registered DNS namespace. It is expected that most organisations will request their domain name (eg."exampleuniversity.ac.uk") although it is perfectly acceptable to request a sub-domain name (eg."staff.exampleuniversity.ac.uk").
