eduroam(UK) Members Joining Pack

Thank you for registering with eduroam(UK), we hope you will be soon able to offer an operational eduroam service at your organisation, whether Home (IdP) or a Visited (SP).

Induction to the eduroam(UK) Service

The eduroam(UK) Support site is the portal by which you not only inform us of the details of your RADIUS servers (thus enabling the support to generate the shared secrets required to allow your RADIUS servers to peer with the NRPS,) but also provides remote and local testing functions, monitoring of your service and it enables you to assert the operational details of your service. There is copious context specific help on all pages and introductory presentation has been produced to guide you (see below).

If you require further help in using the Support portal or have any questions/requests for guidance, a telephone induction to eduroam(UK) with one of our technical advisors can be arranged. Please request this through help@jisc.ac.uk (e-mail, phone or online form).
