| policy (before Ch 6) | Participating federations are encouraged to check send VLAN attributes (Tunnel-Type, Tunnel-Medium-Type, Tunnel-Private-Group-ID) , and to investigate whether the sender is sending these attributes inadvertently or not, and then take appropriate action. | SHOULD (encouraged) | OT checks sent VLAN attributes and contact institutions directy to check if the NRO has been in contact regarding this. | |
| policy (Ch 6) | Violation of the Policy declaration MUST be reported to the OT, and MUST be presented to the SG and escalated to the NREN PC in serious cases. | MUST | Check forums and social media etc and cross-check with OT and SG mailing list archives & meeting minutes. | |

| policy (Ch 6) | Provide trustworthy and secure transport of all private authentication credentials (i.e.passwords) that are traversing the eduroam infrastructure. | MUST | Check server configuration | |
| policy (Ch 6) | Ensure that user credentials stay securely encrypted end-to-end between the user’s personal device and the identity provider when traversing the eduroam infrastructure. A rationale for this requirement can be found in Appendix A of the eduroam policy. | MUST | Check server configuration | |
| policy (Ch 6) | Ensure that eduroam servers and services are maintained according to the specified best practices for server build, configuration and security, with the purpose of maintaining a generally high level of security, and thereby trust in the eduroam Confederation. | MUST | Check server configuration and practices used. | |
| policy (Ch 6) | AAA server: RADIUS datagram processing to and from the ETLRS, as per RFC2865 or any other of the recommended transports (e.g. RADIUS/TLS). The server MUST be able to proxy RADIUS datagrams to other servers based on contents of the User-Name attribute. | REQUIRED/MUST | Check server configuration | |
| policy (Ch 6) | AAA server: RFC3580 (EAP over RADIUS). The server MUST proxy EAP-Message attributes unmodified, in the same order as it received them, towards the appropriate destination. | REQUIRED/MUST | Check server configuration | |
| policy (Ch 6) | AAA server: The server MUST generate F-Ticks and send them to the monitoring infrastructure. | REQUIRED/MUST | Check received F-ticks and/or server configuration | |
| policy (Ch 6) | If dynamic RADIUS routing (see eduroam policy Section 2.1.1.2) is used by the individual SPs, then it is the responsibility of the respective NRO to ensure that appropriate F-Ticks are sent to the monitoring infrastructure, either by enforcing that the SPs send them to the monitoring infrastructure themselves, or by collecting information of the authentication events and sending these on to the monitoring infrastructure on the SP’s behalf. | REQUIRED/MUST | Check issued certificates for dynamic routing and F-Ticks from corresponding SPs | |
| policy (Ch 6) | The server MUST be setup to allow monitoring requests from the monitoring service | MUST | Check server configuration and monitoring results | |
| policy (Ch 6) | All relevant logs MUST be created with synchronisation to a reliable time source (GPS or in its absence NTP/SNTP) | MUST | Check server configuration | |
| policy (Ch 6) | The server(s) MUST respond to ICMP/ICMPv6 Echo Requests sent by the confederation infrastructure and confederation monitoring service | MUST | Check monitoring results and/or server configuration | |
| policy (Ch 6) | NRO MUST set-up a web server in order to publish information about the eduroam service. | MUST | Check if website is present | |
| policy (Ch 6) | The address of the web server with information about the eduroam service SHOULD be www.eduroam.<tld>. | SHOULD | Check if web site exists Note from MOL: have encountered many organisations that are prevented by policy from registering a TLD-level domain, but they can always do tld/eduroam... | |
| policy (Ch 6) | An NRO’s web server MUST provide data in XML format, based on the specification defined by the SG, and available at http://monitor.eduroam.org/database | MUST (soon outdated xml → json) web page → https://monitor.eduroam.org/fact_eduroam_db.php  | Check if data exists | |
| policy (Ch 6) | AAA server: RFC2866 (RADIUS Accounting). The server SHOULD be able to receive RADIUS Accounting packets if a service provider opts to send that data. | SHOULD | Check server configuration Note from MOL: accounting packets may include GDPR-sensitive data. On govroam we have elected to NOT accept accounting packets... | |
| policy (Ch 6) | AAA server: RFC2866 (RADIUS Accounting). If RADIUS Accounting is supported, RADIUS Accounting packets with a destination outside the federation MUST NOT be forwarded outside the federation, and MUST be acknowledged by the FLRS. | MUST | Check server configuration | |
| policy (Ch 6) | A RADIUS/TLS endpoint open for connections from all other eduroam participants to enable the receiving end of RADIUS/TLS dynamic discovery. | RECOMMENDED | Check issued certificates and server configuration | |
| policy (Ch 6) | A DNS-based discovery module for outgoing RADIUS/TLS dynamic discovery. | RECOMMENDED | Check issued certificates and server configuration | |
| policy (Ch 6) | Servers SHOULD be highly available, for example, by deploying multiple separate servers in a failover configuration in different IP subnets on different physical locations. | RECOMMENDED | Check server number, location and configuration (including IP addresses) | |
| policy (Ch 6 | Logs of all authentication requests and responses SHOULD be kept. The minimum log retention time is six months, unless national regulations require otherwise. The information in the requests and responses SHOULD as a minimum include: The time the authentication request was exchanged. The value of the User-Name attribute in the request ('outerEAP-identity'). The value of the Calling-Station-Id attribute in authentication requests. The result of the authentication.
