Basics of the roaming service at Savonia University of Applied Sciences

The purpose of the roaming service is that employees and students can login with their own eduroam-username to their local wireless network, visiting other universities or research institutes

Instructions for the roaming service
Visiting computers not owned by Savonia

Visitor network ID is eduroam ( SSID = eduroamweb ). Currently Savonia uses Web Authentication which allows the visitors to use the network when opening the web browser. After opening the web browser it will display the login page. On this page you enter your eduroam-username user@organisation.country as well as the password. Savonia eduroam-user names are the person's primary e-mail replicas (firstname.surname@student.savonia.fi, firstname.surname@affiliate.savonia.fi or firstname.surname@savonia.fi ). After clicking the login button the system checks access rights and opens the network.

Roaming service user names
There is a service of its own for changing the Savonia eduroam-username's password. You can change it at https://apps.savonia.fi/password/pwdeduroam/ and the page is also accessible from outside of Savonia. You can also change the password for the temporary and partner eduroam-usernames. Reset only works for the Savonia campus user names.

The covering area of the roaming service
Network is accessible in Kuopio at Opistontie -, Microkatu -, Sairaalakatu - and Piispakatu campuses and in Iisalmi at Haukisaarentie campus.

National roaming service coverage is available at IT Center for Science CSC Ltd's Funet eduroam-website (Funet eduroam).
Roaming service is part of the international roaming service project which has its own website (www.eduroam.org).

If you have any problems using the network you can contact sd(at)savonia.fi or by phone 017 255 7088 (+358 44 785 7088)
The coverage area of the Savonia wireless network is the same as Savonia eduroam's coverage area (Coverage area).
