eduroam-US

In the past few months several new institutions have come up and become active within the eduroam-US Federation.

We would like to welcome The University of California San Diego, The University of Wisconsin-Parkside, The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, and The University of Chicago.  Congratulations to you all on becoming fully active members!

The eduroam-US Team is excited to attend the Internet2 Fall Member Meeting 2010 in Atlanta Georgia.  Through participation in the Certs, Federated Wireless and Other New InCommon Services panel and a poster session the team will present the current status of eduroam-US.  We look forward to meeting our current members and talking to prospective institutions as well.  Stop by and see us.

The eduroam-US team is excited to present a new section of the FAQ focussed on Security concerns voiced by the community.  Please have a look, we look forward to your feedback!

Thank you to Samuel Petreski from Georgetown University for contributing documentation on configuration of Juniper's Steel-Belted RADIUS server for connecting to eduroam-US.  The instructions are very complete and should help any new institutions using Juniper along quite nicely. 

As always, if you follow any of the instructions on the site and have any contributions please feel free to contact the eduroam-US team!

eduroam-US would like to welcome University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign to the federation as of February 5th.  The initial eduroam deployment went smoothly and is currently in "beta" for evaluation purposes.
