Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] wireless survey results
Saccheen, Good work, and congratulations on closing in your MS degree. For what it's worth, it would also be nice to see how college campuses are addressing issues of guest access/open access on the campus wireless networks. Your work is obviously done, but this info would really help round out the whole picture, in my opinion. Lee Lee H.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] wireless survey results
Good morning, All. I would also like to know what other campuses are doing for guest access. We have several camps here during the summer and this is the first year that we've also had people assuming that they could get access -- also assuming no charges for it. Have any of you been down this road? How are you handling it? thanks -- candice Candice Scott Dir. of Library and IT Services Schreiner University Kerrville, TX 78028 -Original Message- From: Lee Badman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 18, 2005 8:00 AM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] wireless survey results Saccheen, Good work, and congratulations on closing in your MS degree.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] wireless survey results
Here's how we handle guest access. All of our APs are on a separate VLAN behind a linux firewall/router. Your mac address must be registered in LDAP before you're permitted past the firewall (which is done online). For guests, they have to know someone on campus. They click the guest link on the wireless login page, fill in their name, email, company, and the email address of someone they know on campus (with selu.edu domain). That person will get an email saying Joe Somebody wants wireless access, click here to approve it or ignore this message to deny it. If they approve, the guest will be allowed wireless access for two days. It isn't the best security, it's basically the honor system. But it's a good tradeoff between security, usability, and low administration. To date, we haven't had any problems with anyone abusing the guest system. I'd also like to hear how others are handling guest access. ray =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ray DeJean http://www.r-a-y.org Systems EngineerSoutheastern Louisiana University IBM Certified Specialist AIX Administration, AIX Support =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= On Mon, 18 Jul 2005, Scott, Candice C wrote: Good morning, All.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] wireless survey results
Hello, In the wireless study, I did try to address some of the general steps that schools have taken to address guest access/open access on the wireless network. Below gives a brief description of my findings: In a closed only network implementation where only authorized users (such as faculty and students) can access the wireless network, guests can be granted access to the wireless network once they are sponsored by an authorized faculty or employee. Otherwise, they must request access, well in advance, and provide MAC address or other credentials. In both a closed and open network implemenation where certain areas are closed for student and employee access only, and others are open (hotspots), school indicated different access policies for guests. Some schools indicated that guests or unauthorized users are directed to a service providerÂ’s network if they try to log on to the campusÂ’ network. Here, they are obliged to pay for the wireless access. Other schools leave access points that cover the library or conference rooms open so that a guest (authorized or unauthorized) can access the wireless network for free but they are granted limited access to network resources such as the internet.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] wireless survey results
Here at Ryerson people visiting and wanting wireless access are to contact our conference services at which point a staff member will enter in a temporary user ID into LDAP via a custom web page and choose a date to expire that entry. The user then falls into 1 of 3 guest networks and is forced to login via captive portal.
