Hello,

I really hope there's no luck involved - it should all be fairly
deterministic ;-)

Glad to hear things are working for you!

> We are running into nothing but trouble with the iPhone/iPad

For iPhone and iPad, we've heard some reports about an iOS bug which
rears its ugly head only when your server certificate is not signed
directly by a root CA, but has an intermediate CA in between.

Is that by any chance the case in your deployment? If so, the bug is
that the intermediate CA gets ignored if it comes in during the EAP
conversation; it needs to be added to the CA list in CAT and be
provisioned with the profile.

Does this help?

> and MacOS <10.7.

This is currently not really supported by CAT. In fact, we do have a
module which can do it, but it didn't make its way into the production
release due to missing QA (these devices are getting more rare every day
after all).

There are more folks interested in this; and they are on this list. I'm
sure they will merrily take you on board when it comes to
testing/improving the device module.

> We are only using EAP-TTLS-PAP with a self-signed CA.

Right; I should have read the mail to the end before posting :-)

So there's no intermediate CA involved. Then, what is the error with the
iPhone iPad profiles? Do they not install at all, or do they not connect
afterwards? Any screenshot or behavioural description how to reproduce
would be mighty helpful.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
