Thanks to all for your answers.

I'm glad that the issue is known -- I just wanted to get back to you CAT developers and tell the story.

@Tomasz Uploading just the root cert to CAT means that the client<->server trust check takes more roundtrips, though it is easier to make changes on the trust path later. Are there security concerns about uploading the whole CA chain?

Yea, it is a feature request that's on the list, but it depends upon some prerequisites.

Android can only take one CA Cert on a EAP profile at a time, but the app itself could hold more than one profile.
If it knew when a profile changes or expired, it could then apply the alternative profile.

I hope future releases will soon move towards this.
