[Android] improve installer to display additional hints on username format to users about cat HOT 5 OPEN

That admin-side to control this feature is already implemented for the next feature release version to come:

Our ability to deliver this on the actual installer varies by OS; on some OSes we have more control over user-interactivity, on some we have less. Windows and Linux are not a problem, Android probably can be made to work, anything Apple is not possible.

This now works for Windows and Linux installers

Will this option setting be accessible via the API?
I assume it won't be in the eap config file.

Needing an API call sounds like the wrong thing to do; the config file should ideally be self-contained.

I have just updated the XML Schema for .eap-config here on GitHub: https://github.com/GEANT/CAT/blob/master/devices/xml/eap-metadata.xsd

You'll notice a number of additions:

• // contains the list of networks where the EAP credential should be configured

• <IEEE80211> // wireless section, 
  

• <IEEE8023> // wired section, can be ignored by the eduroamCAT android app
  

Notably, the app should now take a look into the list of IEEE80211 instances and configure all SSIDs it finds there. And if the API level supports passpoint, also configure passpoint if it is in the file.

Also, inside there are now new sub-fields
InnerIdentityPrefix, InnerIdentitySuffix, InnerIdentityHint, InnerIdentityEnforce

which map to the discussion in this thread. Both prefix and suffix are in principle possible with eduroam; the hint and enforce booleans apply to both if given.

E.g.

InnerIdentityPrefix = "DOMAIN/"
InnerIdentitySuffix = "@domain.com"
InnerIdentityHint TRUE
==> populate the username input box with "DOMAIN/@domain.com" and place the cursor behind the slash.

New XML files conforming to the new schema will be produced by beta1.
