eduroam(UK) Advisory: Injection of Operator-Name attribute by the NRPSs
With Networkshop looming it's time to bring you news of this year's pre-NWS eduroam seminar, which is becoming something of a tradition! We now have an Events web page and registration is live https://jisc.ac.uk/events/eduroam-freeradius4-seminar-26-mar-2018
October 2012 - 3/10/2012
This advisory is relevant to ALL Home (IdP) service organisations participating in eduroam in the UK. It describes the use of RadSec at national proxy level, how this can benefit the individual user and what eduroam organisations must do in order to gain these benefits.
Originator: Alan Buxey
Audience - eduroam(UK) system administrators and implementors
The eduroam(UK) Technical Specification 1.4 has now been released and is effective as of 14th July 2016.
The update primarly addresses the removal of the requirement to forward RADIUS accounting messages to the NRPS, the expriy of the permissive grace period for TKIP, TLS proxies disallowed and the removal of LDAP and POP from the list of ports/protocols that must be open to visitors. Other changes are essentially general housekeeping and updates.
May 2016 - 10/05/2016
This advisory applies to any member organisation that operates an ORPS that is configured to send RADIUS accounting packets to the NRPS.
Originator: Edward Wincott
Scope

The latest organisations to define NAPTR records in their DNS to boost international roaming authentication performance for their users are:
National Science Learning Centre

University of Bristol
Facilitated by our Training Team, we're holding an eduroam clinic on 1st March 2016. These are great group forums in which to pose a question (by text or audio), hear the experiences of other members of the eduroam community and to learn from the answers of the expert panel consisting of the fab four eduroam(UK) Support team (and usually me). There is also the opportunity to go off into a private virtual room for in depth consultation with one of the panel.
January 2016 - 20/01/2016
