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

[Stefan Winter <address@concealed>]

Hello,

I would appreciate if you would take that page down.

This tool is accessible to end users, who we inform NEVER to put their
eduroam credentials on a web site. There is even an advisory on the main
eduroam website from 2009(!) warning users to never do this:

https://www.eduroam.org/2009/02/03/warning-do-not-use-web-logins-for-eduroam/

Your tool also doesn't cover any security-relevant checks on the server
side (you do not ask for the expected server certificate details, and so
can't validate them).

There are tools to achieve this without compromising user passwords to a
third-party (and yes, your web server is a third-party compared to the
Identity Provider READIUS server, the only place where passwords belong).

- In the CAT admin area, there is a tool available only to
administrators where they themselves can enter a credential to be
tested. The tool advises the admins to only use test accounts for that
test ("Test realm reachability" -> "Live login test").

- In CAT user area, there is a new diagnostics tool which merely asks
the user for his *realm* (not an actual username, not a password) which
then does the same checks as the "Static connectivity test" in the admin
area, and informs the user if there is any reason to suspect that a
piece of roaming infrastructure or the IdP's server itself has failed.
The tool can be found on the start page under Help -> Diagnostics (it is
still under further development; expect more features to be added next
year).

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
