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

[Tomasz Wolniewicz <twoln AT umk.pl>]

Hi,

 this is the new CAT feature. The eduroam profile is now installed under the profile name of "eduroam®". netsh fpr some reason does not print the name properly and shows it as eduroamR. You can delete the profile by giving it the real name or by using the Windows WiFi settings GUI and forgeting selected profiles from there.

  The wifi selection GUI should show eduroam as eduroam®.

The "eduroam® via Passpoint" profile is a Hotspot 2.0 profile which gets installed in anticipation of the time when we may have partner operators who would be willing to carry eduroam traffic but do not want to broadcast the eduroam SSID. Such operators would just need to broadcast the eduroam Hotspot 2.0 identifier and this second profile will recognise it and attempt connection. All authentication would still go the same way, i.e. via the home IdP, therefore all security will be preserved. Still we decided that it should be signalled to the user that this is eduroam partner network and not the native eduroam one and the profile name is the way to do that.

Hi all,

Is it just me, or is CAT currently installing a profile called "eduroamr via Passpoint" ? Not "eduroam" but "eduroamr".

Additionally, I can't seem to delete this.

PS C:\Users\hf0002> netsh wlan show profile

Profiles on interface Wi-Fi:

PS C:\Users\hf0002> netsh wlan delete profile name="eduroamr via Passpoint"

Profile "eduroamr via Passpoint" is not found on any interface.
