Have you checked out this page?
http://www.cpd.unb.br/servico-eduroam

e.g from the Win7 tutorial) very last sreenshot
http://cpd.unb.br/images/Tutoriais/EduroamW7.pdf
you learn that your username should be something like
<user>@unb.br
as contrasted to
> > ID: 
> > 150056311 AT aluno.unb.br

The authentication request is always forwarded to your HOME institution
in an SSL tunnel. If they confirm you to be the right person (usually by
checking the credeantials transmitted in said tunnel), the LCOCAL WiFi
infrastructure (in Grananda) will accept this decision an admit you
to their LOCAL network.

The username syntax is essential in that process:
<user>@unb.br
ist split at the @ sign. The rear part , or "realm"
(here unb.br) is used to to figure out to which server
to forward the request to, regardless of the first part.
Once the request arrives at your home institution,
they will take the first part and use it along with your
credentials to authenticate you.

So if you get the realm wrong, the request will never make it
to your home institution, and you won't get access.

Sorry for explaining basics again, but using the wrong
realm with an otherwise valid account is one of the most
common mistakes with eduroam clients.

Cheers, Martin
