The IdeM network
IdeM (Identity Management for federated access) was the name of the GARR pilot project to create a federated authentication and authorization infrastructure. The Project ended on March 31, 2009. IdeM is now the name of the Italian Federation of Authentication Federation and Organisation within the GARR Community.
Some IdeM organizations have decided to federate their captive portals to allow members of an organization who are temporarily located elsewhere to use the wireless local network (WLAN) with the same credentials (username and password) that they would use in their own institution, without any further formalities.
For more information on the IdeM network, consult the IdeM page:
- Guests of the University of Turin who belong to institutions adhering to IdeM
- UniTO users with valid SCU credentials (the same ones used to access MyUniTO and e-mail).
The University of Turin’s membership of the IdeM federation also guarantees UniTo users with SCU credentials access to associated third-party organizations’ wireless networks.
To connect to the guest-merged network, consult the support page for the instruction manuals, available for each operating system.
