Eduroam
Eduroam is an initiative from TERENA which facilitates
mobility among european researchers and students by offering 'wifi'
connectivity in a series of institutions abroad which have joined the
network. In this way, users from Eduroam participating institutions
can access the Internet through the wireless networks of all the
participating institutions.
The process of a
user connecting to the wireless network of the visited institution is
similar to connecting to his home wifi network: the username and
password used for authentication are the same to his/her home
network, the only difference might be the network access method.
BSC-CNS participates in the Eduroam project offering access
to their own users and users coming from other participating
institutions, under coordination from CESCA (Catalonia Supercomputing
Centre), which constitutes the technical and administrative link
between participating institutions in the Eduroam project.
Access
Method
The only authentication method permitted at BSC-CNS for accesssing to Eduroam network is 802.1x.
802.1x is one of the most secure authentication
standards. It is necessary a client software to establish an
authentication session. TERENA recommends this protocol to ensure
that only authenticated users can access network resources
