For learners, FDIBA provides access to a variety of useful resources. Here you can find out how to access them.
FDIBA provides 2 Wi-Fi networks for students and employees.
FDIBA 802.1X – for intranet/Internet access
eduroam – internet access only
The networks require authentication with username and password (FDIBA ID). Newly enrolled students receive an FDIBA ID in the 1st semester along with their student ID card. Later enrolled students can request it from the FDIBA IT Team (Room 10207-A) or through the ServiceDesk.
Eduroam (education roaming) offers students and staff the opportunity to securely and conveniently connect to the Wi-Fi when visiting another educational institution at home or abroad. The Eduroam network at other institutes can only be used after registration at the FDIBA.
In order to use the Internet access at the locations of the participating organizations, the authentication is handled with your own username and password (FDIBA ID).
The Eduroam network uses the same authentication method as the FDIBA 802.1X network. To use Eduroam, the username is entered in the format username@fdiba.tu-sofia.bg. The password is the password you use with your account.
Please note that you can only get Internet access via SSID Eduroam without access to local resources from the FDIBA network (such access is only possible via the FDIBA 802.1X network).
