Err, well, no...

I've made the manual ;-) And as I checked after moving to
cat.eduroam.org we still got the SmartScreen Windows on some clients so
I did not update the screenshots accordingly... If I happen to see it
again I look closer on the message.

Which CA is behind the code signing cert maybe it was not present on
these clients?
