Well in that respect we will still need work, unless we decide that we just leave it to geteduroam to handle ...

Hi Jan, and the rest of you eduroamers,
Sounds like EAP-TLS 1.3 to me.

Hi all,

one of our institutions wants to use a specific "outer" ID for EAP-TLS.
(Technical background: The server root certificate expires and they want
to migrate to a new root using a switch by outer ID)

They use their own certificates, but want to use CAT for configuring the
devices. On Windows they noticed that the installer does not honor the
outer ID configuration, apparently the Windows installer doesn't even
include this.

From what I heard from the admin, windows needs a specific
"DifferentUsername" property to not use the CN/UPN/... from the certificate.

Does the windows installer support it already and we're just holding it
wrong?
If not: Is this something that the windows installer could be doing?

Cheers,
Janfred
