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

[Stefan Winter <address@concealed>]

Hello,

I'm very happy to announce that the deployment of the 2.0-beta2 codebase
on https://cat.eduroam.org is now finished.

The original 1.x codebase has served us well over the course of almost
six years since the 1.0.0 release. More than 16 million end user
downloads across all operating systems (not counting the downloads on
the German installation) were handled by that code.

Still, its time has come. 2.0 is a major rewrite of large parts of the
code base, has many new features and is ready for future enhancements.
I'm looking forward to the next 16 million downloads!

The new code base is also the foundation of a new service "eduroam
Managed IdP" which generates personal installers with per-device client
certificates; accompanied by a RADIUS server to validate those
credentials. This new service enables an organisation to issue eduroam
acocunts from a web portal, without a need to operate its own RADIUS
server. It is meant for small organisations without the operational
capabilities to become an eduroam IdP on their own. The code paths for
that feature set aren't quite finalised (hence the beta2 tag in the
release name), but I will soon get back to the lists with more info on
that exciting new service. In any case, it will run on its own dedicated
website, and nothing changes with the deployment on https://cat.eduroam.org.

In the name of the whole development team: Thank You for using the
eduroam CAT service.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
