Linux mint do not ask for username and password

I just installed Linux Mint and I am totally new in the Linux world. At my home I have WiFi and I successfully connected with my home WiFi. Connect with my home WiFi I only need password. No username is required.
But at my university, my internet name is eduroam. Whenever I try to connect as eduroam nothing happens. No pop up where I can insert my username and password.
I checked with other WiFi. I see there are two types of WiFi I think,
- one which only require password and
- the second type which requires both username and password.
My laptop only connect to the first type of WiFi which requires only password but it doesn't connect with second type of WiFi where both username and password is required. Even it doesn't ask for username and password as also.
How can I connect my Linux Mint 17 with eduroam WiFi?

Your university is probably providing information about how to connect to the Eduroam network somewhere on its web pages. If not, contact a local IT helpdesk and they will help you get things set up.

I guess your university uses the kind of wifi that you see in bars and trains. You need to connect to the wifi network, which doesn't require any password. Then you open your browser and browse to any webpage, but get redirected to the university wifi website. There you have to enter username and password.
In Linux Mint, click the wifi icon and see if you can locate the university wifi, then connect to that. So first you have to connect to the eduroam network, or whatever it is called. Then you open your browser, login, and after that everything (that is allowed) works. So if you use a mail client like Apple Mail or Thunderbird, that should work to.

It is not same as trains. We don't have to do all those stuff from browser. In my mobile I did the same, had to insert password and username but not from browser

Why don't you ask at your university? They should have a helpdesk. Even if they don't officially support Linux, there probably is an admin that knows how this works.
