+Since SISSA is member of the Italian Eduroam Federation, guest users that belong to federated institution can connect to SISSA network using their own credential (username and password). Also SISSA users, when visiting other federated institutions, can connect to the hosting  network using their own credentials.\\
-=== What is eduroam? ===
+Please note: eduroam guest users can access also SISSA wired network with the same credentials, configuring 802.1x authentication on the network interface.
-eduroam (**edu**cation **roam**ing) is the secure, world-wide roaming access service developed for the international research and education community.
-eduroam allows students, researchers and staff from participating institutions to obtain Internet connectivity across campus and when visiting other participating institutions by simply opening their laptop.
-Having started in Europe, eduroam has gained momentum throughout the research and education community world wide.
-Currently there are four regional eduroam confederations (for a detailed view of the countries that belong to each confederation, select the regional confederation above):
-  * in Europe (http://www.eduroam.org/?p=europe)
-  * in USA (http://www.eduroamus.org/eduroam_us_institutions)
-  * in Canada ( https://wiki.bc.net/atl-conf/display/Services/Canada+eduroam)
-  * in the Asia-Pacific ( http://www.eduroam.edu.au/eduroam-in-asia-pacific.html)
-=== European eduroam server coverage ===
-The map below depicts the European countries that have connected their national top-level RADIUS servers to the European top-level RADIUS server (ETLR).
-{{:services:eduroam_euwww.png?400|}}
-Data are being gathered by the eduroam Operational Team to produce a [[http://monitor.eduroam.org/eduroam_map.php?kml=europe_capital|real-time Google Map]]
-In Italy the **Italian Eduroam Federation**  is managed by **GARR Consortium** (http://www.garr.it) and includes more than 70 organizations/universities. You can check the updated list of federated organizations here: http://www.servizi.garr.it/index.php/it/eduroam/elenco-istituti-aderenti1
-=== SISSA and eduroam ===
-Since SISSA is member of the Italian Eduroam Federation, guest users that belong to federated institution can connect to SISSA network using their own credential (username and password). Also SISSA users, when visiting other federated institutions, can connect to the hosting  network using their own credentials.
-== SISSA Users ==
-When visiting other federated institutions, SISSA's users can connect the hosting network using the wireless id '**eduroam**'  and using their own SISSA credentials (username and password).
-__Be careful to always add the realm **@sissa.it** when entering your username__. E.g. if your username is 'bianchi' always insert 'bianchi@sissa.it'
-The configuration of your computer is the same you use for WiFi connection in the SISSA buildings, exept you have to use '**eduroam**' ssid and you must take care to __always set your real username (with the realm **@sissa.it**) as the **outer identity**__.

-==== Trieste città universitaria  ====
-{{:services:tcu.jpg?70 }}
-The Comune di Trieste in collaboration with Spin srl, Universita' di Trieste and our School has inaugurated " //Trieste città universitaria senza confini// " allowing all students (in our case all SISSA users) to browse free all around the city center.
-\\
-**15 access points** installed in several pubs and bars are available, you can see all the details on [[http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=108139193737895603518.00046d2c63d8427314e6f&ll=45.648098,13.771276&spn=0.01725,0.034761&z=15|GoogleMaps]]
-To access the citywide connection you should select **TS-Citta-Universitaria** as **SSID** from the list of available networks and then use ** //your SISSA username// ** and **//your SISSA password//**.  \\
-**Please note:** you have to insert ** //your SISSA username// ** followed by sissa domain (example **//jdoe//@sissa.it**) for the correct authentication.
-The configuration of your computer is the same you use for WiFi connection in the SISSA buildings. You can find all the details on how to configure authentication, encryption and key management in the chapters following.
