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

Hi,

It's also been a while since you last posted to the list ;-) the
listserver has moved towards 
cat-users AT lists.geant.org
 meanwhile.

That's correct. The exact effect depends on the capabilities of the OS.
For some OSes, we can actually delete the open network, in others we can
only mark it as "Don't connect automatically".

What we do not do is to actually tear down the connection to the
onboarding network immediately - settings take effect after leaving the
network.

Greetings,
