[RADIATOR] Why the need for Radiator?

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Roberto -

It depends on what else you are wanting/needing to do for authentication.

Most Universities are members of Eduroam, and for that you will have authentication requests for people from other institutions that you will need to proxy via Eduroam.

In general it is much easier to have Radiator deal with Eduroam users before you authenticate your local users.

YMMV of course.

regards

Hugh
