Hi Tomaz,

 

Thanks for the reply, we were able to set the autoconnect parameter using our wrapper install script so thank you for the info.

 

Many thanks, and please do let me know when a new release is available.

 

 

Kinds Regards,

Lance

Hi,

First of all an important thing - I have located a bug in the silent installed which causes it to hang (or rather loop getting all CPU on one processor core). The installer does everything fine before it hangs so people might not really notice that.

This is going to get fixed in the upcoming CAT update that is going to happen still in September.

The auto-join is the result of connectionmode=auto set in the profile. Clearly if you are using some sort of a wrapper around the installer you can just run

netsh wlan set profileparameter name=eduroam connectionmode=manual

after the installer exits. Or rather you will be able to do that after we update, since now the installed never exits.

Does this sound like a solution for your problem?

I would prefer to avoid adding another parameter to the config, it might be hard to maintain uniformity of behaviour across the whole range od CAT supported devices.

Tomasz

Hello again,

 

I have a query from the requestor that they need auto-join, is this supported via a command line or XML option?

 

 

Original email from requestor:

 

Is there an option to disable auto-join as a post install step of the wifi-profile?

 

Eg. netsh wlan set profileparameter name=eduroam connectionmode=auto

 

Or a way to access the files within the installer and change the xml file?

 

 

 

Regards,

Hi,

  The Windows installer has the standard /S flag. In this case the user will not be prompted for credentials, the prompt will come form Windows during the first connection. There will be a separate prompt for any SSID that might be configured. If you want to avoid the standard Windows CA install warning, then you need to install the root CA first, the installer will then notice that the cert is already there and will not install by itself.

Installation of GEANTLink also pops up a prompt. GEANTLink is only required for Windows 7 add not updated older Windows 10. You may also preinstall this by yourself if you think it will be needed. Also in this case there will be a check first and no reinstallation on the CAT installer side.

Cheers

Hello,

 

I have been requested to make this software available via SCCM, is there an easy way to install the software silently without prompts?

 

I am happy to perform a scripted install to install the certs and MSI, what else needs to be configured for the complete install of the software?

 

 

Regards,
