There's a catch with ConnMan in its current version apparently: it does
not allow to pin the expected server name - only the CA.

That's not proper security; we always looked in despise on Android 4.2
and lower because that was not possible. There are workarounds, like a
private CA which issues only one server certificate (or at least only
issues certificates to "eduroam club" servers) - and Slovenia implements
this workaround AFAIK. But it's not a tool that is fit for general use
at this point.

In the absence of someone who actually works on the product, we will
have to resort to submitting a feature request. As we've learned at
other products, the time to implement such requests "varies greatly" :-/

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
