Hi Tomasz,

I can confirm that the Phase2Authentication section in our xml is empty. We
use EAP-TTLS with PAP. We have configured PAP as the only EAP method. See
attached wlan_prof-1.xml & wlan_prof-2.xml. For your reference we have
generated a new profile for Windows11, see Win11generated-eduroam.xml.

Can you fix this, please? Should I open a GitHub issue or something?

Best regards
Jens
