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

[Tomi Salmi <tomi.salmi AT csc.fi>]

Hi,

looks like Tokyo Institute of Technology have not created and/or published 
eduroam CAT installers available for its users. That's why it doesn't appear 
on the list of CAT institutions. 

I suggest you to ask configuration help from the local IT support. If they 
are not using eduroam CAT, they should have instructions for the manual 
configuration at least.

And maybe it would be great idea to tell them about eduroam CAT by giving the 
following link:
