Course Overview
eduroam (education roaming) is the secure, world-wide roaming access service developed for the international research and education community.
eduroam provides an infrastructure that allows users to authenticate onto a visited network (wireless and/or wired) using their home site credentials, without any local administrative burden or complexities on the user or the local IT staff.
Topics Covered
- Overview of eduroam
- EAP, 802.1X and RADIUS
- Visited and Home organisation configuration
- Deployment of service
- Security
- eduroam monitoring and support
- Troubleshooting
Benefits
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.
Who Should Attend?
This course is of benefit to anyone from an organisation connected to JANET who wishes to gain a better understanding of how to implement eduroam in their organisation.
Timetable/On the Day
The course will run between 1000 and 1630. The timetable during the day will be adjusted to allow discussion of areas of particular interest to the audience.
This course includes presentation, discussion, floorplan activities and hands-on use of a test environment established specifically for use within the course.
All delegates will receive a specifically written course workbook.
