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

[Michael Davis <davis AT udel.edu>]

We've also received reports of Android users not being able to authenticate
to eduroam after multiple restarts from scratch, only after changing their
password with special characters were they able to succeed.  (Unfortunately
we are not always able to get the client to tell us what special chars they had
before because they reuse passwords in so many places :(  )

thanks

We received this report from one of our Linux users today:

I just want to report a minor bug in the eduroam configuration script
for Linux. My password contained an apostrophe ('), and when the script
generates a wpa_supplicant configuration it includes a backslash (\');
however, the apostrophe doesn't have to be escaped in the
wpa_supplicant.conf file ( I could not connect to the network with the
escaped apostrophe)
