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

[Thomas Andersen <than AT itu.dk>]

Hi,

 

Lately (3-4 weeks) I have received reports from users and our support team, that people are getting connected to a SSID which we have disabled through CAT.

 

I have done some testing and can now confirm that disable SSID on OS X, is not working as intended.

 

Have anyone else had this problem?

 

 

Test steps taken:

Fresh installed OS X El capitan.

CAT downloaded and installed.

It joins a eduroam instantly.

Confirmed that eduroam and ITU-guest was in the SSID list.

I then left campus and made a SSID called ITU-guest on my phone as a hotspot.

When I turned on the laptop, it joined ITU-guest.

Shut down laptop and returned to campus.

When starting the laptop again, it joins ITU-guest.
