Identity Providers – Self-implementation
If you have chosen to offer eduroam to your staff and students through your own IT resources, there are three main steps to follow.
Step 1 – Make sure you have a database of credentials
Since logging in to eduroam requires authentication of user institutions, a login database is essential. This database can take various forms, depending on your preferences:
- A SQL (Structured Query Language) database with user information.
- An LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) directory.
- An Active Directory.
- Text files.
Specific information for schools
You can use the identity management system offered by the Centre de gestion informatique de l’éducation (CGIE). It provides access to eduroam for users in the Luxembourg education system. So, you are all covered, and you have nothing to do.

Step 2 – Install a RADIUS server
To associate your users with the eduroam network, you must install a RADIUS server on your IT infrastructure.
Step 3 – Read and sign the eduroam policy
To definitely validate your access to eduroam, your institution must accept the ‘eduroam Luxembourg policy’.
The duly completed and signed document is to be sent by email to feedback@eduroam.lu or by post to the Restena Foundation.
