Android has an ample selection of shortcomings to choose from :-)

Do you by any chance have a setup with an intermediate CA in addition to
the root CA?

And you have uploaded that intermediate CA into the CAT profile?

That's great and makes all the operating systems you listed above work.

Except for Android: it is not possible to install the intermediate CA
together with the root there.

For Android, you have to make sure that your RADIUS server sends the
intermediate CA together with the server cert during the EAP
conversation; otherwise Android cannot create the chain up to the root CA.

There should be a warning in the realm check feature about intermediate
CAs only being in configuration, but not in the EAP conversation if that
is the cause of the problem. Do you see that warning?

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
