Módulo de Autenticação via Eduroam para o Pluggable Authentication Modules
Abstract
Universities and research institutions often want to offer services to external collaborators and visitors. Federations are one of the most traditional ways of achieving that aim. Eduroam is a federated network which facilitates roaming internet access amongst participant institutions. However, internet access usually occurs through a personal device owned by the user and, until now, there was no simple method for setting up a public terminal or classroom computer to use Eduroam credentials as login information. This work presents a novel, yet production-proven, solution for accepting Eduroam credentials in systems compatible with Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM).
