UCTrust Wireless Project
This wiki space is for internal communication among the participants in UC's project to federate authentication to its campus wireless networks.
Background
As an outcome of the February, 2010 ITLC meeting, the Communications Planning Group (CPG) was asked to work with the UCTrust Work Group to prepare a recommendation report to evaluate the viability, risks, and cost at an institutional level for a common Wireless authentication and access methodology to allow any member of the UC community to use the wireless networks of any other UC entity without need to creation of guest or visitor account status. Suggestion is to specifically investigate the use of InCommon/UC Trust and or Eduroam as an authentication mechanism. This would be in addition to, not necessarily as a replacement of, current authorization services. Objective would be to have a minimum of four participating UC entities by fall 2010.
Charge from the ITLC to the CPG
Consistent Approach for Guest WiFi Access at UC campuses
Engage the UC Trust Work Group and prepare a recommendation report to evaluate the viability, risks, and cost at an institutional level for a common Wireless authentication and access methodology to allow any member of the UC community to use the wireless networks of any other UC entity without need to establish one-off guest or visitor access.
A suggestion is to specifically investigate the use of InCommon/UC Trust and/or Eduroam as an authentication mechanism. This would be in addition to, not necessarily as a replacement of, current authorization services. Objective would be to have a minimum of four participating UC entities by fall 2010. This report would be reviewed by the ITLC at the July 2010 meeting.
