because 10.6 doesnt have the required profiles function...so you have
to manually import it. 10.7/10.8 added the 'profile' feature and
Safari has a handler for .mobileconfig files to go along with that.

10.6 is dead-end. its like trying to support Windows XP - its 2013
(near the end of now!) - the 10.8 upgrade is cheap(!). OSX Lountain
Lion is like $19.99.

..and at some point Apple will stop patching 10.6 - happy to have
such insecure systems on your network ready to act as a new army of bots?

just use the re-direct feature on the eduroamCAT page to send any
users to your resources.
