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

[Óscar Remírez de Ganuza Satrústegui <oscarrdg AT unav.es>]

Good morning,

Do we have to configure something in our institution profile on eduroamCAT in order to let this eduroam HS20 identifier work properly?

Or it will just work by default?

Thank you very much.

Regards,

We are now indeed generating two such profiles. This way if there is a network that wants to be seen as eduroam but for some reason cannot broadcast SSID eduroam, it has the option of broadcasting the eduroam  HS20 identifier. In such a case Windows will present the network to the user as "eduroam® via Passpoint" and will automatically connects just as it would do with an eduroam SSID.

It turns out that there may be commercial that would be willing to give away eduroam for free but not with the eduroam SSID. This approach could also be potentially useful if network ranges from various institutions overlap.

Hi Oscar,

 

I believed that this was used with another SSID that I also had in saved Wi-Fi networks:

 

eduroam® via Passpoint

 

I have removed that SSID from the saved wifi networks just now, and eduroamCAT Windows 10 installer has not re-generated that eduroam® via Passpoint profile.

 

You must be right, Oscar.

 

Thanks and greetings

Hello,

 

I think it could be related to HS20:
Hotspot 2.0, also known as HS2 and Wi-Fi Certified Passpoint

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotspot_(Wi-Fi)#Hotspot_2.0
"Hotspot 2.0 is based on the IEEE 802.11u standard, which is a set of protocols published in 2011 to enable cellular-like roaming. If the device supports 802.11u and is subscribed to a Hotspot 2.0 service it will automatically connect and roam."

 

It could be that eduroamCAT is installing two profiles:

- eduroam
- eduroam® (eduroam-HS20 (hotspot 2.0))

 

Regards,

Hello all,

 

We just realized that the Windows 10 installer installs one profile for eduroam and another for eduroam®.

Bosses and colleagues ask me about it. :-!

 

I've searched this list archives but I can't find a conversation that talks about this.

 

I think it is done just to show that eduroam term is a registered trademark but doesn’t do anything significant in the configuration.

Is that so, or is there something else?

 

Thanks in advance and greetings
