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

[Tomasz Wolniewicz <twoln AT umk.pl>]

Hi Martin,

   I was away from office, and can reply only now. Perhaps you problem has been resolved by now, but I would like to add two things which have not been mentioned so far.

1. You can run the installer with the DEBUG flag. Setting -DEBUG=4 will give you the highest level of debugging so you will be able to see what the installer does, additionally in debug mode the temporary files extracted from the CAT installer are not removed, exactly for the purpose of inspection, so you will be able to see all. You will also be able to examine the wireless profiles created by CAT.

2. If an institution creates their own installers setting up more network properties then just those required by CAT, then it is possible to run the CAT installer in a silent mode. Just run it with the /S flag (which is the standard NSIS flag).  In Silent mode, the installer will not ask for credentials, this will happen on the first attempted connection to any of the networks which have been set up. The silent mode allows you to pack CAT in your own wrapper and the user will only see interaction with yours.

Yours

Tomasz

Hi
Thanks for the response!

The problem we are facing with deploying a regular GPO is, that the users can't change the password (or remove it for that sake) or change the settings whether or not Eduroam automatically connects or not - But obviously there are multiply ways to set it up, so I’m just looking for a way that is more preference based (and of course also slightly less secure).

@Thomas, it would be amazing if I could get a copy of your Eduroam GPO, you might have some settings that I haven’t tried / looked at.



Best regards
Martin

Hi,

ITU++) . In my view, CAT is "just" a bundle of predefined settings 
ITU++which
makes it easy for the end user.

Well, yes, that's exactly it :-)

But to set the same settings as sysadm in a GPO shouldn't take many minutes.

The utility of CAT installers is much higher in settings where devices are not part of an AD Domain and group policies are not available.
Totally agreed: if you can push settings via GPOs to a controlled user base, just do that.

Greetings,

Stefan

Let me know if you need some help with this. We are almost neighbors 
:) (I am from IT University in Copenhagen)

Br,
Thomas

    Hi CAT developers

    Is it possible to get the content of the packages (I’m mostly
    interested in the bat files)

     

    Eduroam-W7-XX.exe

    Eduroam-W10-XX.exe

     

    To see if I can make a GPO that mimics the way that CAT works.

     

    Best regards

    Martin
