Okay... the thing is, we don't do anything special. It's an API call to
Android's built-in WifiEnterprise API, everything from then on is just
normal Android supplicant behaviour.

I take that for granted. It is not even possible at all to contact you
directly because I do not have a shared secret on your server, and you
do not have a RADIUS/TLS certificate for direct peering.

My test /originated/ from our NRO server, but was injected into normal
eduroam routing. So it first went to the European top-level servers, who
proxied to the UK ones, who sent it onwards to you. This traverses the
firewalls just fine.

And then, there was no reply.

Good that you mention that the UK support servers also see errors. This
means I'm not dreaming anything up and there are others who see that
something in your realm's request routing is wrong, too. (The CAT tests
inject their tests on the European top-level servers and thus take by
and large the same way to you as my LU tests do)

The UK servers are of course closer to you than any test I can run. I
suggest once you've cleared the error cause on the national level, we
can regroup and try testing from CAT again.

You're welcome.
