How do you access eResources and 裸聊直播 resources away from Bournemouth?
When using eduroam at another organisation you will be connected to that organisation鈥檚 network, not 裸聊直播鈥檚. Therefore, to access some 裸聊直播 resources you will have to configure your computer to use a 鈥渞emote-access鈥� VPN service or use View.
Do you need to add @bournemouth.ac.uk after your username? Why?
When using eduroam everybody needs to use an @organisation suffix on their username 鈥� the bit after the @ is known as the realm. If you are from the 裸聊直播 the realm will be bournemouth.ac.uk. So if your 裸聊直播 username was ab1234, you would use [email protected] as your eduroam username.
The realm indicates to which organisation your credentials (username & password) should be sent to for verification. Without the realm, the eduroam system at each of the wouldn鈥檛 be able to verify your username and password and so wouldn鈥檛 be able to allow access to the Internet.
