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

[Jethro R Binks <jethro.binks AT strath.ac.uk>]

Hmm, well in lieu of any other options, it seems I am stuck with advising 
our Android users not to update with the new CAT config until after we 
make the certificate change in a couple of weeks, rather than gradually 
preparing them now by being able to support both certs.  Our support desk 
are going to rejoice at that prospect.

I can fudge the radius config for people who ignore that and update anyway 
and have problems, forcing them to get the new cert delivered by matching 
their MAC address, but I don't want to be doing that for hundreds of them.

In the CAT interface, it would be useful for it to note this limitation 
when you try and add more than one CN.

Given that we wanted to change the CN, is there any other way we could 
have approached this to be a reasonably seamless migration from one CN to 
another for all platforms?

Jethro.
