This is true, we have specified anonymous in the cat profile.

We manually configure our Android devices and they have the anonymous user, 
which works fine.
Unfortunately I cannot test any further at present with windows 8.1 as the 
device which I "borrowed" has been returned to its user.

Don't be so sure :-)

Noted.

Thanks,
   I have compared what you have in your guide with the settings tat CAT made.
There is one difference. CAT sets anonymous identity (as you must have 
specified in the CAT profile) and your instructions do not.

In principle it could be that your server just drop user anonymous - is there 
a chance that this could be true?
