Well I have no idea why I didn't see the template the first six times I looked! *facepalm*
Given that I'm coming into the middle of this and I have a partially-working setup, how should I proceed? Should I rename and disable my current Eduroam-Local, Eduroam-Inbound, Eduroam-Outbound services, and then run the wizard?
I've been using this document
Microsoft Word - gn3-na3-ufs139-aruba_controller_final.docx (geant.org) and following Chapter 3.1 and looking at what is done already with my working SP. Steps 1, 2 & 3 are done, so there are the national proxies authentication sources created, network devices added, device groups (eduroam proxies & Local controllers) Should I move any of that out of the way before I start the template?
And another question about what I'm seeing in my install... The docs show a correct Services ordering, and my setup is opposite -- it shows the eduroam services before the services in [ ] (those are default services right?) Will the template do the right thing?

I found the templates when I actually paid attention to the whole window under Configuration >> Start Here. This version is old enough that there is no "Service Templates & Wizards" menu choice. There is no obvious "EDUROAM Service" in the list of templates, either.
I'm brand new in my job, and brand new to aruba. Three years ago the institution's "aruba partner" did a "set up eduroam" project, where they produced a working eduroam SP but a non-functional IdP. I'm trying to figure out wth they did and how to fix it.
My one conversation with the "aruba partner" was him wanting to set up a project where we would pay for something that they specify. I don't have enough understanding of either aruba or eduroam to make sure that the project specification would result in a working eduroam setup, and since they've already fscked the process once I'm really leery.
I know that my institution is paying plenty, and our "partner" has as THEIR first priority getting us to replace all of our APs with newer models. We absolutely cannot afford that, and besides if I tell my dean that we have to replace 443 of our 444 perfectly functional APs, then the answer is going to be "well if we have to replace everything then the replacements certainly aren't going to be aruba APs!" (They seem to be under working under the delusion that if they hold our technology hostage we'll pay up. Don't seem to understand that the current financial position of higher ed means that just ends up with a dead hostage...)

I know for a fact 6.6.x has templates. We have ClearPass since version 5.0.
ClearPass 6.6.x was end of support on April 6, 2019. You usually need a valid support contract to get upgrades, I believe. Since ClearPass operation is critical to our network access, we keep a valid support contract on it.
Reach out to your Aruba account team for your official options.

I think you guys did the same dyslexic thing I did when I first looked at that. I'm running 6.6 not 6.10 -- it's because I'm running 6.6.10.106403 so my brain parsed that incorrectly.
Which brings up the obvious question -- what are the requirements for upgrading from 6.6 to something with templates?

That is weird.
In my experience, as one of the first Aruba ClearPass customers they have had wizards dating bact to when Aruba bought the Avenda eTIPS product. Looks like it is time to spin up 6.10.x in the Lab.

Not everyone is running 6.10.x. For instance we are using 6.9.x.
My instructions work for all versions of CPPM 6.x.x that have that wizard.

They are the same place as all the other Wizards.
Configuration -> Service Templates & Wizards -> EDUROAM Service

Can you tell me where to find the ClearPass/eduroam wizard?

Thanks Alex, I think I have the ClearPass portion of down okay. I just went through the wizard.
The controller bit...is what does not make sense . It looks like their document is bit out dated. Gonna see if support can help me out..

Which bits are confusing you ?
I set up clearpass for eduroam, but front ended it with a free radius server
the clearpass config then just becomes two cppm services
if user realm = your institution then process locally
else
proxy auth to free radius server
any fancy stuff related to eduroam can the be configured in Freeradius e.g. CUI
I actually talked to them using RADSEC from the FR box.
happy to help though if you want to talk to the NRPS systems directly from clearpass

I have been looking into eduroam and signed up for a 90 day demo. The documentation is confusing to me. Does anybody have some documentation on the way to set it up?
