Overview
This service will issue accounts necessary for connecting terminals to eduroam WiFi network which is the global academic wireless LAN roaming infrastructure. In order to issue accounts, users have to be authenticated with the IdP operated by the affiliated institution under the GakuNin federation. The issued account will be temporary with a limited validity period. Since this account itself does not contain information that identifies individuals, there is no concern of privacy leakage upon using eduroam. Also, since the password is temporary, even if the password is leaked by accidentally connecting to an unauthorized access point, the damage can be minimized.
How to Use
Login
If authentication with the institution IdP for GakuNin is successful, you can see the menu including four functions as follows:
- New ID / Password account issue (新規ID/Passwordアカウント発行)
- Verification and revocation of issued ID / Password account (発行済みID/Passwordアカウントの確認および失効)
- New certificate [EAP-TLS] account issue (新規証明書[EAP-TLS]アカウント発行)
- Verified and revoked issued certificate [EAP-TLS] account (発行済み証明書[EAP-TLS]アカウントの確認および失効)
Students can issue accounts only if the institution administrator allows.
Furthermore, the following function will also be displayed for the faculty and staff if the administrator of the institution allows.
- Visitor account issue function (ビジター用アカウント発行機能)
New ID / Password account issue
First, specify the start date and expiration date of the account you want to use. After that, by pressing the application (申請) button, a new ID / Password account is issued and the account name (ID) and the corresponding password (Password) are displayed. Make a note of this ID / Password and use it to connect to the eduroam access point. When issuing multiple accounts, you can record the purpose of each account (such as the type of terminal you use) in the account memo field.
Verification and revocation of issued ID / Password account
You can verify ID / Password accounts issued so far. Since the password is also displayed, if you forget the ID or Password of the issued accounts, you can confirm it again here.
In addition, you can revoke the specified ID / Password account to make it unusable. For ID / Password accounts that are no longer needed or concerned about leakage of passwords, please revoke promptly.
New certificate [EAP-TLS] account issue
ID/Passwordアカウントの代わりに証明書[EAP-TLS]アカウント（クライアント証明書）を用いた認証を行うことができます。 You can perform authentication using the certificate [EAP-TLS] account (client certificate) instead of the ID / Password account. 端末によっては、毎回Passwordを入力せずに認証することができるため、eduroamへの接続がさらに容易になります。 Depending on the terminal, you can authenticate without entering Password every time, making it easier to connect to eduroam.
新規に証明書[EAP-TLS]アカウントの発行を行う場合は、 まず、利用したいアカウントの利用開始日と有効期限を指定します。 To issue a new certificate [EAP-TLS] account, first specify the start date and expiration date of the account you want to use. その後、申請ボタンを押すことによって、新規証明書[EAP-TLS]アカウントが発行され、 証明書ダウンロードURLと証明書インストール時に利用するパスワードが表示されます。 After that, by pressing the application button, a new certificate [EAP-TLS] account will be issued and the certificate download URL and the password to use when installing the certificate will be displayed. eruroamのアクセスポイントに接続する端末に証明書をパスワードを使ってインストールしておき、 eduroamのアクセスポイントに接続する際に利用します。 Install the certificate using a password on the terminal connected to the eruroam access point and use it to connect to the eduroam access point. （端末のeduroam接続設定において、インストールした証明書を利用するように指定します。端末によっては、同時にアカウントのIDを指定する必要がありますが、その際には同時に発行されたIDを指定してください。）複数のアカウントを発行する場合に、それぞれのアカウントの用途（利用する端末の機種等）をアカウントメモに記録しておくことができます。 (In the eduroam connection setting of the terminal, you specify that you use the installed certificate.In some terminals you need to specify the ID of the account at the same time, but at that time you specify the ID issued at the same time ) When you issue multiple accounts, you can record the purpose of each account (such as the type of terminal you use) in the account memo.
Verified and revoked issued certificate [EAP-TLS] account
これまでに発行された証明書[EAP-TLS]アカウントを確認することができます。 You can check the certificate [EAP - TLS] account issued so far. 証明書ダウンロードアドレスとパスワードも併せて表示されますので、 過去に発行を受けた証明書[EAP-TLS]アカウントの証明書を紛失してしまった場合やパスワードを忘れてしまった場合は、 ここで再度取得と確認をすることができます。 Since the certificate download address and password are also displayed, if you lose the certificate of the certificate that was issued in the past [EAP - TLS] account or forgot the password, here You can get it again and confirm it.
また、発行済証明書[EAP-TLS]アカウントに対して、指定したものを失効させ、 利用できなくすることが可能です。 Also, it is possible to revoke specified ones for the issued certificate [EAP-TLS] account and make it unusable. 不要になった証明書[EAP-TLS]アカウントや、パスワードの漏洩が懸念される証明書[EAP-TLS]アカウントについては、 速やかに廃止手続きを行ってください。 Please discontinue the procedure as soon as possible for the certificate [EAP - TLS] account which became unnecessary and the certificate [EAP - TLS] account concerned about the leakage of the password.
Issuing visitor's accounts
A faculty and staff member can issue accounts for visitors if the administrator of the institution allows. You can choose the type of accounts: ID / Password account and certificate [EAP-TLS] account. There are also two types of valid period: one week and one month. The each maximum number of valid issued accounts are specified by the administrator.
The procedure for issuing accounts is the same as for the case of its own use. In the account memo field, you can record information about the visitor who the account is provided (the account memo field can be changed later).
In the issued account list page, it is possible to output a consent form (PDF) for the issued account. which can be printed, distributed to visitors and signed. In addition, it is also possible to acquire the account list with CSV form, so it is easy to issue consent forms on other systems.
Confirmation on Continuation of Use (Students Only)
Institution administrator may ask for confirmation on continuity of use with issued accounts, such as on a yearly basis. If you have a valid eduroam account, a message asking for confirmation on continuation of use will be shown, so if you wish to continue to use, please confirm. If you did not confirm, the issued eduroam accounts will be forcibly revoked after the continuation confirmation period is over. If you forgot to confirm and the accounts have been revoked, please issue new accounts again.
Notes
With this service, we provide a mechanism that can not identify an individual by an issued pseudonym account. Since we only refer to pseudonymous information called eduPersonTargetedID sent from the affiliated institution's IdP when issuing accounts, we can not identify specific individuals even on this service site. However, we keep records for the account issuance for a certain period of time, so if you encountered unauthorized access, etc. using this account, we will collaborate with the affiliated institution to identify the specific individual.
When using this service, please comply with the usage rules.
