Hi,

  the way I see it you have TTLS/MACHAPv2 set as the EAP priority, and this is what the attached profile sets. However as you point out the problem may be the empty Phase2Authentication section.

With Windows TTLS we were not able to find a way to install user credentials therefore we just made this part unset leaving it to Windows to ask for credentials at the first login. Now it looks as if Windows11 makes a peoblem out of that.

If you change the priority of EAP methods in CAT and make PEAP first then you will get the PEAP profile and everything should work well (I hope).

Hi Tomasz,

today I have a test machine and can make tests myself.

You find attached our profiles after a installation on Win11 and Win10. There are no differences in both files.

I think I found the problem by checking the xml file. The section <Phase2Authentication/> is not filled with our parameters. When I manually set up eduroam and make then an export this section is filled with this parameters on Win11:
  <Phase2Authentication>
    <MSCHAPv2Authentication>
<UseWinlogonCredentials>false</UseWinlogonCredentials>
    </MSCHAPv2Authentication>
  </Phase2Authentication>

So in our setting we use PEAP with MSCHAPv2 for the normal profiles, but this parameter is missing in the xml file.

I think Win11 here makes a check and gives an error and Win10 does not make a check.

Kind regards
Martin

Hi,

   I am on vacation with no possibility to actually retry the problem myself.

For the second profile "eduroam® via partner" it is quite OK to give this error message. This is a Hotspot 2.0 profile installed "juts in case" someone found a network with an SSID different from eduroam but still claiming to be eduroam with a Hostspot 2.0 RCOI. Not all network cards support HS 2.0 and for such cases the installation is supposed to fail silently.

However it should not happen that the proper eduroam profile. Could you send ne such a profile, I would that a look what the problem could be and perhaps find the reason.

The other issue - the "not updated" message should not appear any more with the newly downloaded installers.

Hello everybody,

I can confirm a problem for our university with Windows 11 too. Since friday I have 4 people with such a problem in out ticket system.

In the normal debug log from one user I found:
Execute: C:\Windows\sysnative\netsh wlan add profile C:\Users\charl\AppData\Local\Temp\wlan_prof-0.xml
netsh returned 1
Profile installation error for "eduroam®"
Execute: C:\Windows\sysnative\netsh wlan add profile C:\Users\charl\AppData\Local\Temp\wlan_prof-1.xml
netsh returned 1
Profile installation error for "eduroam® via partner"

For more details I have to ask the user for a meeting.

The problem with the message "Windows 10 is not up to date" at the Windows 11 machine is gone away. I think the update from friday has fixed it.
@Jens Schleede: have you tried to download a new installer since friday? There was a thread called "Windows11 Problems​" on this list for this message.

Kind regards

Martin

Hello list,

Our CAT eduroam installer does not work on Windows 11.

I have debugged the problem a bit and found the following error when the wlan profile is installed:

  PS C:\Users\User\Downloads\eduroam> netsh wlan add profile .\wlan_prof-0.xml
  Profile format error 0xE225:
  The network connection profile is corrupted.



Also the installer tells the users that their Windows is not up to date and they should upgrade their Windows10.


Best regards
Jens Schleede
