LDAP Specifications for VIA Accounts

VIA Accounts

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