Ignore my previous message, I understand now what you're saying, iOS
either uses the client cert profile, or the CAT eduroam profile, but not
both. The MacOS CAT program worked to install the CAT eduroam profile,
but then the phone didn't use it and gave me an untrusted authentication
server warning when connecting with the client cert.

Hi,

that's great to hear. Did it not work on iOS 8, or did you not test that?

Also, how did you get the client cert onto the device? The two variants
I know of are that you create a profile containing only that client
cert, or that you import the DER encoded file by tapping on it - it will
then show up in "Settings -> Profiles" as if it were part of a profile,
even if it isn't.

Hello,

We're just starting to explore EAP-TLS on campus and I created a CAT
profile to test also.

I noticed that iOS CAT profiles (5, 6, and 7+ are listed) don't generate
TLS installers, is that going to be a limitation for the future, or will
CAT
soon support EAP-TLS in iOS 10+ ?
Turning this on is a one-line change. The issue is that we turned it off
on purpose because iOS had issues with it where MacOS X did not:

Our installers configure the use of EAP-TLS, but do not include the
actual client certificate. This has to get onto the system in a
different way.

On macOS, when you connect to a Wi-Fi network with EAP-TLS enabled, the
OS will ask you which of your certificates in Keychain should be used
for the access. That's fine.

On iOS, only in-profile information is used when connecting - and since
the client cert isn't found in-line, this won't work.

This may have changed recently of course. Feel free to try and download
the macOS installer with an iOS device - it will work there as well. If
you have any success in connecting to eduroam, we can flip the EAP-TLS
support switch for iOS in short notice.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
