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

[Tomasz Wolniewicz <address@concealed>]

Hi,

  I have just run a test.

1. installed the p12 user certificate from our CA

2. installed the TLS mobileconfig profile

3. connected to eduroam and was prompted to provide identity. I selected
the profile that was created when the p12 was being installed. Finally I
gad to change from automatic method to EAP-TLS and this made the
"connect" active. After that my phone connected just fine, extracting
the username from the CN of the personal certificate.

Seems that iOS can actually do it - not the easiest of methods, but still.
