Non-UCL Staff or Student from Participating Institution
When visiting UCL your credentials are forwarded on to your home institution for authentication. The method of authentication (e.g. EAP, PAP, MSCHAPv2) is what is supported by your home institution.
Support is provided by your home institution and not UCL! Even
though you are physically located here at UCL and connecting through
the UCL Network infrastructure, any IS support routes at UCL (e.g ISD Service Desk) will refer you to your home institution for support.
As such we cannot support non-UCL visitors, but below is a useful list of tips & help:
- Prior to visiting UCL you should confirm your home institution supports authentication from external institutions participating in the JRS eduroam service. JRS web site Furthermore, you should confirm you can connect to the eduroam service when physically located at your home institution prior to visiting UCL.
- Encryption: UCL supports Enterprise WPA1/ TKIP and Enterprise WPA2/ AES.
- User Name and Password: The domain name of your home institution must be specified when authenticating. This is to ensure your credentials are forwarded on to the correct institution e.g.[userid]@[domain] or zcxxano@ucl.ac.uk
- If all else fails, contact IS support at your home institution - not UCL. In turn, they may contact UCL but this is the correct support route.
