Agenda / Proceedings

  1. Welcome / Agenda Bashing

  2. eduroam Managed SP: status update

  3. EAPLab - time to shut down?

    • at has served well over time, with at least three significant uses
      • sparrings partner GEANTlink
      • pushed Wi-Fi Alliance WPA3-R2 development
      • CAT features grown out of some of the tests
    • but use cases are going away, system ageing -> it’s time has come?
    • unless geteduroam has specific uses for it, consider it out of service (Stefan to verify with Paul)
    • Tomasz and Maja to save the backend generator scripts etc. so that reviving the service on a more recent setup is in principle possible
    • all of the domain supplicants.net going away, too - but let’s try to save the content into the eduroam wiki for archival purposes

  4. CAT: future development musings

    • 3.0 can be very different
    • including new API -> OpenAPI opportunity
    • volunteers sought for future development; SRCE already has a volunteer - the more the merrier
    • preliminary arch documentation (on high level, for starters) is already on GitHub: https://github.com/GEANT/CAT/blob/master/tutorials/CAT Project Overview.odp
    • testing is time-consuming; so would a rewrite of the admin part. Also an option to drop some device modules in favour of geteduroam (esp. Windows)

  5. OpenRoaming naming - zooming in on remaining options

    • OpenRoaming
    • OpenRoaming (with academic identity)
    • OpenRoaming (edu ID) - needs to be short because string has length limitations!
    • OpenRoaming (academic ID) - needs to be short because string has length limitations!
    • OpenRoaming (academic) - needs to be short because string has length limitations!
    • OpenRoaming (educational) - needs to be short because string has length limitations!
    • OpenRoaming (University of Foo)
    • OpenRoaming (realm.tld)
    • University of Foo - OpenRoaming
    • OpenRoaming Thru “Institution”
    • (reminder: no “eduroam”, no “Passpoint”, no “Hotspot 2.0”)
    • OpenRoaming (realm.tld)

5a. eduroam with consortium ID

  • in principle, name is “eduroam”
  • but on Windows, two separate profiles needed for technical reasons, so need a second name
  • Suggestion: “eduroam” -> SSID-based config; “eduroam Hotspot 2.0” -> RCOI-based config
