It also allows automatic generation of access keys used when connecting to wireless networks; meaning that users no longer have to enter in static keys /passphrases when connecting to the eduroam network.
The authentication details you need to enter in order to connect with 802.1x at Sussex are:
- your IT username followed by your University address - for example: ano23@sussex.ac.uk
- your normal IT password.
