PLEASE NOTE: different username
With eduroam you use your regular ULCN user name - i.e. your student number - followed by @leidenuniv.nl (this may look like an email address but it is not). With the addition @leidenuniv.nl you can automatically connect to eduroam from numerous educational institutions worldwide. Example: if your ULCN name is 's1234567', use 's1234567@leidenuniv.nl' as your identity/user name.
