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

[Chris Phillips <Chris.Phillips AT canarie.ca>]

Chris,

My colleagues have already replied but do want to chime in that it's worth noting that any instructions about things like BeagleBone, Raspberry Pi are site/institution specific for those devices getting online at Carleton are institutional specific.

Can those items work with eduroam?  Yes, if those platforms properly support 802.1x protocols and TLS and it will be the users credentials not the devices' credentials.

 We encourage exploration about how that user is going to 'bake in 802.1x credentials' to the device if they pursue being online with them on eduroam. This may be an opportunity to explore (or a sober second thought moment) how to enable 802.1x authenticated devices on your infrastructure at Carleton and how credentials are implemented for 'things' as opposed to 'people'.

More to come off-list..

Chris.

Sorry here is the exact request for clarification:

--------------------------------------------------------------
Information:  Can you please email "cat-users AT lists.geant.org" to get a custom script for Carleton users who wish to connect to eduroam via linux commandline?  Please see email below:

 Subject: RE: Wpa_supplicant on Linux for Eduroam
 Thanks again for all the time you took trying to help me connect to Eduroam from Linux command line.
 Remember how we were trying to manually edit uOttawa’s eduroam script to set up Wpa_supplicant?
 I found in the source documentation, that manual editing will not work.
 The uOttawa script came from the central Eduroam site, and they have a service for host institutions IT Departments to make one of these custom scripts for any Eduroam member institution that will work with our network and configuration. The service is called “Configuration Assistant Tool” and is found here; "https://cat.eduroam.org/?lang=en"
 uOttawa, Waterloo, Western, and a number of nearby institutions are on the list, but Carleton isn’t yet.
 The site says that whomever is responsible for Eduroam at Carleton needs to email "cat-users AT lists.geant.org" and they will arrange to create a custom script for Carleton users. Though this looks similar to our Cloudpath system we use for CU-Wireless, it isn’t reliant on Java or a GUI, and will generate a command line script for Linux.
 Once this is done, you’ll be able to post instructions for anyone who is using a command-line based microcontroller like a BeagleBone Black, Raspberry Pi, etc.
 Do you think we could open a ticket with the wireless/network team to get the script generated Eduroam CAT please?
 Thank you,
 Luke Russell

Hi,

We have a student requesting this, can a custom script be developed for

LX that will help students at CU on Linux?

Sorry, does not compute.

A student requested *what*? Modifications to the script? Then what was
the nature of the requested modifications?

What's LX?

And what kind of help should be provided on Linux?

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
