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

Hi.

Thanks for the feedback.

The Wireless interfaces is totally functional on another SSID. The problem comes with wlan_test.exe witch requires more rights to execute without errors.
I can configure manually the eduroam SSID but I want to use eduroam CAT because it's easier to my thousand of users.

Maybe can I do more exhaustive investigations with you help ?

Best regards

So,

  the whole mess is caused by the failure with wlan_test.exe. I never saw this problem before. The program gets banned and the result recorded by the installer is not recognised, therefore on the one hand it keeps going but on the other it does not install any wireless profiles.

The only cause for running wlan_test is to check if there are any wireless interfaces installed on the system. I suppose the lesson to be learned from this example is to take another look at wlan_test and possible problems it might cause.

If this error is not causing any major problem for your university, I will for now put it on my TODO list

Cheers

Hi.

I have executed the installer with -DEBUG=4 parameter.
I got the CAT.log file in attachment.

I have a look at it. I try to execute C:\Users\mpires\AppData\Local\Temp\wlan_test.exe and I got a message saying that this program was blocked by my administrator.

Best regards

I have tested your profile installer with a user without any admin privileges and it went just fine.

You could try to run the installer in a command window with an option -DEBUG=4. The installer will then create a log file with additional info. I will also leave undeleted XML profiles, including the one with the user password, so you might test it with some fake user data.

Cheers

OK.

I expect for your feedback.

Windows installers normally run without admin privileges except for the case when a wired network profile is supposed to be installed as well (but this is something that institution administrators set very rarely).

The installers have been used very many times and users do not have such problems. I will test your installer later, even without a valid account it is possible to veriy the installation results.

Hello everyone.

The CAT installer is very practical.
I'm encountering a recent difficulty that I can't resolve because I'm not a Microsoft expert.

When I use CAT for Windows 10, if I am not a local administrator of my machine, the installer runs without errors but does not create any entries in known Wifi networks.

When I use CAT for Windows 10, as local administrator of my machine, the installer also runs without problems and the connection to the eduroam Wifi is established automatically. Two entries are created in the known Wifi networks "eduroam(R) via partner" and "eduroam(R)".

Why does this installer not work correctly when the user is not in the local Administrators group ?

Thanks for you help.

Best regards
