What is eVA eduroam Visitor Access is a managed IdP 'cloud' service for the creation of eduroam accounts for visitors. It allows the organisation to gain even more value from its existing eduroam infrastructure and since visitor access account creation is delegated to the staff needing to perform this function allows central IT team/facilities administration to concentrate on their core activities. eVA means you can avoid needing to add and delete guest accounts in the organisation user directory.

Pre-subscription pre-requisites - SSO Access Management Group (UKAMf requirements) Attribute release to eVA SP pre-requisities: Guidance for UK Federation IdP Operators Setting up eVA users - the organisation's eVA Administrator

This advisory is relevant to all eduroam(UK) Home (IdP) and Visited (SP) service organisations. It describes the measure being implemented by eduroam(UK) to ensure that the Operator-Name attribute is included in all authentication requests that are received by Home organisations - thereby making troubleshooting and security response investigations easier. The measure involves injecting the O-N into authentication requests sent to the NRPS from Visited member sites where O-N is not already inserted by the Visited site. No action is required.
