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

[Michael Davis <davis AT udel.edu>]

Is there a way to formally make enhancement requests to the CAT App Dev ?

We just completed our first move-in of 30K users on eduroam with CAT,
and the Help Desk had over 2,000 tickets having to either:

1) Remind everyone to retry and use @domain.edu on their Username, Why 
can't CAT
    enforce that if configured?

2) Remind everyone to retry and carefully re-enter their password.

The whole week would have been a non-issue if CAT would have been able
to enforce the domain and verified passwords...
