One side comment,
   in CAT 1.1 which (in beta) you can test at https://cat-test.eduroam.org/beta/ there is a "secret" switch
When you call https://cat-test.eduroam.org/beta/?hidden=1 you will also see modules which are normally hidden from user's view. Currently there is one such module called Test. If you use it you will download the CAT setting for a given profile as a single zip file. This can be useful for solving such support problems in the future (of course the federation admin can always take ownership of an institution, but this approach is faster and works for every institution in CAT, nut just your own federation).

I explained Marcos that the SecureW2 installer is only used for Win
XP, and it should'nt be used by default for win 7 and 8.x (if
PEAP+MSCHAPv2 is selected as first option as is the case)... am I right?

Of course you could use it in further windows versions too, but given
the priority of methods allowed in the profile and their order (1.
PEAP-MSCHAPv2, 2. TTLS-MSCHAPv2, 3. TTLS+PAP), I guess the installer
for win 7 and win 8.1 is not based on SecureW2...

Also I have to say, I checked this morning and the profile looked fine
to me.

Please note my initial comment... it's not @upf.edu (idp=38) but
@esci.upf.edu  (idp=313)... just in case.

cheers,

jose.
