Dear Stefan, thanks for your quick response, which solve the issue!
I struggled for hours this morning and now, by following your advise, I just did it in 5 mins. Amazing! Your reply was very useful and informative. Thanks a lot!
PS: as a suggestion I wonder if it might be helpful to recall this necessary trick for Android 6.0 users...

Hello,
In the process of installing eduroam for access from my mobile (Samsung
Note 4, Android 6.0) I reached the point to download the installer for
my institution (CSIC, Spain). I tried the two options, downloading it
with Firefox and with the android-cat app (previously installed).
This first one download it. Then I tried to install it, which took me
into a given installation page of the android-cat app. The second one
directly did the same. In that page I am invited to enter user id and
password, but there are some info and I observe two red crosses or
warnings:
No CA certificate found
Server subject Match missing
That status page informs you of the /current/ configuration state on
your phone. It is not the reason why the installation would fail.
No surprisingly the installation fails.
Shall I install previously a CA certificate?
Where and how? Sorry I am not/do not want to be an expert in Android.
The configruation file you downloaded contains all the details needed,
including the CA. The app tries to delete the old network configuration
and replaces it with the new, correct one.
Unfortunately, on Android 6 an app is only allowed to delete old
configuration if it created the config itself earlier.
Your old eduroam config was probably created by you "by hand" and the
app is not allowed to delete it. That's why the installation fails.
You first need to go to Settings -> Wi-Fi and delete the eduroam network
configuration. Then, go into the app again and install. It should now work.
Please note that we cannot do anything about this restriction. This is
an Android API issue.
Greetings,
Stefan Winter
