CAT is a tool to facilitate configuration of eduroam and its roaming
use; and so we always include the SSID eduroam in all installers.

However if you want to do local testing, you may not even need CAT - if
you are testing on a small number of select devices, these can just as
well be configured by hand?

If the test device population is larger and/or diverse and you really
want/need to include CAT installers in the testing phase, I'd suggest:

- create a second deployment profile for your IdP
- only in that profile add the additional SSID eduroam-test
- if you want to enable download of these installers on the CAT UI: in
the profile description, include text to say that this is for testing
purposes and may disturb normal eduroam operations
- if you do not want to enable public download: do not set the
"Production-Ready" flag - then only you as an administrator can download
the installers in the "Fine-Tuning" page and distribute to the testers
via your own means.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
