Hello,

hate to rain on your parade an extra bit, but I found a second relevant
issue:

your RADIUS server only sends its own server certificate, but not the
intermediate CA.

Android API only allows us to install the root CA into the device. So:
we can't configure it upfront, and you don't send it at connection time
- so the device will not be able to make the link between the server
cert and the root; path validation will fail.

The solution is then of course to make the RADIUS server send the
intermediate CA cert along with the server cert.

This is a second, independent issue - please also correct the one
regarding server names. Only fixing both makes the connection issues go
away.

Out of curiosity, at least this "intermediate only if pre-configured"
scenario should be shown as a warning in CAT UI when you select the
"realm check" feature. Is it not?

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
