Dear Alam,

Your org. needs to adjust its profile(s) on eduroam CAT portal [1]
in case it's about to change the root CA used to issue a replacement
EAP server certificate. Ideally add the new root CA to the published
configuration profiles long enough before introducing the changes
in the AAA infrustucture on your RADIUS server (a fair share of client
devices accept multipe root CA in their supplicant setup nowadays).
This way the end users get a chance to setup their devices in a way
that reflects comming changes in the infrastructure.

Should you have lost admin acceess to the eduroam CAT portal
DFN [1] is your most likely point of contact to resume the access.

Kind regards,
Martin
