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

[Tomasz Wolniewicz <twoln AT umk.pl>]

My message about the need of your realm to be in DNS was nonsense, of course (thanks Paul). However I still suspect a misconfiguration.

Hi,

 I have looked at your configuration and it appears to be broken, at least it will not be possible to use eduroam outside of your institution. You have defined your realm to be "s2.um.edu.mt". There is no DNS entry for this realm, therefore the eduroam roaming infrastructure will not be able to route the authentication packets.

Your outer identity is therefore set to "anonymous AT s2.um.edu.mt". It may be that internally you recognise this domain name and that your server accepts this username, but it is also quite likely that authentications just fail. The screendumps that you have sent come directly from Windows. Most likely Windows is trying to connect (this is why it says "connecting") but fails.

I am not sure why the users are getting a prompt for credentials. This never happens in my tests after the CAT installation. This actually is something worth remembering - if the users's pasword is changed on the server side, Windows will not just prompt for a new password, the user needs to reinstall the eduroam profile.

This is a really far-fetched question, but are you sure that the SSID of your network is "eduroam" and not "eduroam®". The second would explain it all.

How about other devices - Apple, Linux - do they have a problem connecting?

Dear CAT support,

I have to report three issues with the latest version of Windows 10 CAT for the University of Malta.

• Whilst installing, the below appears. Its a nuisance

• After installation, the eduroam network is presented as "Connecting"

This is confusing our students/staff as it is not true that the device is trying to connect.

• On trying to connect, we are being requested to enter a username and password though they were entered correctly during installation.
