Argonne is now a member of the eduroam community, a worldwide Wi-Fi service for research and education. This is accomplished through the sharing of authentication services between eduroam participating institutions. This service is now available in any wireless network location at the APS and the Argonne Guest House.

The new "eduroam" wireless service will provide guest wireless access without the need to register. Eduroam is available for:
• Visitors to the APS (if members of eduroam participating institutions)
• APS users when visiting other locations, which are participating in the eduroam community
Once logged in, eduroam users will have guest Internet access. If an eduroam user needs to connect to home institution internal resources, they will use Citrix, SSH or VPN remote access, as is needed when connected to any guest network.

How to connect to eduroam
When visitors to Argonne and the APS connect to the "eduroam" service, they will authenticate using their home institution username and password.
When Argonne and APS users visit other eduroam member institutions, they will connect to "eduroam" and authenticate using ANL domain credentials.

Cyber Security
"The eduroam network is a secure network with valid certificates. Users must authenticate with valid credentials in order to connect to the eduroam service. Any attempts to spoof the eduroam service in order to harvest credentials would generate numerous certificate warnings, in the same way any SSL web site is protected."
