The mailing list for users of the eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT)

[Robert Mertling-Blake <rm29 AT soas.ac.uk>]

One thing we've looked at is using shibboleth to pre-auth users before downloading apple mobileconfig profiles - one reason being that we were considering making sure that only people entitled to connect to eduroam could do so, and those that weren't were given an explanation rather than connection issues - we also used the login data to prepopulate the username field (concatenating in @realm) in the mobileconfig profile.

Never got round to implementation on the entitlement side, but the pre-populated username has worked a treat.

Hi,
  frankly I would be against filling in the realm automatically. This would only work in a limited number of situations, and I think that it would only confuse users that sometines they need the full identifier and sometimes the user part is enough.
Alerting the user about the missing '@' would be fine, though.

Hi Philippe,

    This is a good idea.

    On the same topic, one thing we noticed with the Windows tool is that
it didn't automatically fill in the domain.  Would it be possible to
automatically input the realm specified in the CAT tool in that field
as well?

Many thanks,
ep
