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

[Philippe Hanset <address@concealed>]

Hello Michael,

You can have the domain resolved if you elect to use address@concealed…every user will have to domain preconfigured

and their privacy will be better protected. Having address@concealed requires more bells and whistles in the tool and much more development time.

CAT is a free tool and as such takes more time to develop than a commercial version (less resources available)

Including the features that you request might not be a priority at this point.

Thank you,

Philippe

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...

Hello,

The android CAT app, like the other OS installers, follow the same
methodology the native OS uses.
Android only asks a user to enter a password once natively, so the app does
the same.
Same with Windows and Apple if you use the native interface, I believe.

Maybe an option to allow a user to see the password they type, would be more
suitable?
Android has this feature in its native Wi-Fi setup interface.

Subject: [[cat-users]] CAT app password verification

My apologies if this has been discussed before.  We're bracing for a

primary

campus SSID switch to eduroam/CAT this Fall, and noticing a lot of

preliminary

users are mis-typing their password into the CAT App.  Is there a reason

that

CAT doesn't ask for a re-type verification of the password like most

password

entry systems?
