Pro Tip : The CAT (Configuration Assistant Tool) is required in order to connect to eduroam. This allows eduroam to install the certificates needed to validate the eduroam SSID and authentication servers.

Pro Tip #2: You must provide your username as: username@clarkson.edu when prompted. If you do not include @clarkson.edu, eduroam will not work. This is because eduroam has more participants than just Clarkson, so it needs to know which university to authenticate against.

Pro Tip #3: Be VERY CAREFUL entering your password! An incorrect password here may repeatedly lock your Clarkson accounts until you remove and re-install eduroam with the correct password.  Copy-paste from your password manager if you use one.
