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, no  necessarily as a replacement of, current authorization services.   Objective would be to have a minimum of four participating UC entities by fall 2010.
