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

[Thomas Andersen <than AT itu.dk>]

Hi,

To elaborate a bit, afaik on OS X the CAT uses profiles, where we use an actual program on windows.

This means that on OS X you cannot delete the SSID, but what it will do, is reconfigure it so it will get to the bottom of the list and for what i can see in the profile, it says auto join to false as shown below with our guest SSID.

This also means that a computer that has never been on the wifi you want to remove, will actually have it configured after using CAT – though unable to connect to it.

I will try on older OS X also to see it we also have problems on those.

<key>AutoJoin</key>

<key>EncryptionType</key>

<string>None</string>

<key>HIDDEN_NETWORK</key>

On El capitan, it reconfigure the SSID I want to remove, and make it go to the bottom of the priority.

I just tested it on OSX Yosemite (10.10.5). Doesn’t work either - the profile says «Deaktiviertes WLAN Netzwerk», but our public network stays in the list of preferred wireless networks and after switching off and on the Wifi card, the computer even reconnected to it instead of eduroam. 

Cheers

In my (admittedly limited) testing, I couldn’t get it to forget the network on Android, Linux or Windows. I haven’t tried a MacOS or iOS device yet.

 

We’re having a bad time with devices remembering our setup network, and if I knew this did work reliably across all the main OSes I’d jump for joy.

 

Cheers,

Andi

Hi,

 

I’ve just recently seen this new option, which we love and will make deployment of eduroam a lot easier here.

However, after testing, we found that it works as intended on Windows and Mac but not on linux (Ubuntu)

 

In fact, the SSID we are trying to delete is not anywhere to find in the .sh file.
