Why is the username and password asked several times to access the IST wireless network?

The reason why authentication with the username and password is frequently requested, when connecting to the IST wireless network (eduroam), has to do with the need to always include the suffix @tecnico.ulisboa. en in the username. This suffix is ​​used to identify the users of the IST network in any eduroam network in the world, allowing the authentication to be forwarded to the tecnico.ulisboa.pt domain.
