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

[Tomasz Wolniewicz <twoln AT umk.pl>]

Hi Mike,
  My tests do not confirm that we have a problem with handling passwords containing # and $ characters.

What the tests showed, however was that currently if you set users's eduroam password in Windows supplicant, and then change that password on the server side, Windows will simply refuse to connect and will not display any prompt.  This is true both when you configure Windows with the CAT installer and when you do this in the insecure way, by just typing in username and password at first connection. Once the password is saved you cannot change it unless you either "forget" the network using Windows settings or use the CAT installer again.

Yours
Tomasz

Hi Mike,

  I will run some tests tomorrow, but I would be quite surprised in # and & characters were causing problems.

There have been previous reports of password length issues, and special (high) character
issues, can we presume these have all been addressed in the current CAT release? 

I have a client on a new windows10 surface that has '#' and '&' characters in their password,
and the CAT app reports a credential error message after entering their username/password. 
At one point the machine was trying to authenticate, but it was sending the system's MAC
as the username.   Several IT folks have used CAT on the same system and everything has
worked fine.  Additionally the client can use the same password on an CAT configured iOS
device just fine.

Any additional information I can provide to get someone to look into this?

thanks
mike
