Tiivistelmä
The aim of this project is to deploy the federated wireless network eduroam on the campuses of Vaasa University of Applied Sciences. The project is divided into two parts: the deployment on campuses and the connection to the national network.
This thesis focuses on implementation, set up and configuration of different systems composing eduroam. The theoretical part aims to provide enough comprehensive background about the system. The network terms such as wireless network, switch, access points, server etc. are discussed. A major part of the theory is devoted to the explanation of eduroam wireless network.
During the implementation, a proxy server will be set and configured. More than 40 switches and access points will be configured. When the implementation is completed, tests will be made from VAMK campuses using local and external credentials. At the same time, VAMK credentials will be used on another eduroam-enabled campus to test the remote authentication.
After everything has been properly configured, users from VAMK can use the eduroam network from any eduroam-enabled institution in the world. Also users also from different institutions will be able to log in on VAMK campuses with their home credentials.
Moreover I will configure different client computers with different operating systems to be able to connect to eduroam. Lastly, I will write a detailed supplicant configuration that can be used by any IT unfamiliar user to get connected to the network.
