VIA Accounts
The ITS application for establishing VIA accounts (Visitor Internet Access service) has broader utility than simply providing supporting RADIUS authentication to UH Wireless networks. CAS authentication also includes the LDAP branch where VIA accounts are storedsubject to the UH Web Login Service (CAS authentication). VIA accounts in conjunction with CAS can be used to provide guest access to applications.
