Configuring my institution's properties

There are basically three groups of information which we need to ask of you before we can create good-looking installers for you:

  • general information about your institution (e.g. logo, approximate location, name)
  • helpdesk contact details (mail, phone, web)
  • RADIUS and EAP details
To the largest extent possible, all the information is optional. If you choose not to let us know all the details we will still create installers, but they just won't contain as much information as they could. Please consider giving us as much information as possible.
There are two governing principles regarding input and storage of information in the administrator user interface:
  1. Textual information can be provided in many languages; one language representation should be set as the default language though - to have a string to present to users who want to use a language which wasn't explicitly configured.
  2. An institution consists of one of more EAP profiles, each of which can have its own EAP-specific settings. One typical use-case is an institution which has "student" and "staff" accounts with different EAP-Types being supported. Many options in eduroam CAT can either be set for the entire institution or only for a specific profile; if a setting is set on both levels, the more specific profile-level setting will override the institution-level one. 

 

explain inst-wide settings and that multiple profiles are possible. Lots of details for some of the settings. Screenshots.
