Echoing Marc Doughty's words, we just signed up for another year of
Cloudpath service.
The service builds a web page that you present to your users. Built on
javascript, it does the lifting that gets all the bits and pieces set
correctly and loads any needed pieces into the end-user system. So, need a
self-signed root cert installed in the the right place on the client?
Cloudpath does that. It checks those little boxes on the screens to set up
the options without needing to show users detailed instructions.
Having said that, WPA2 configuration is hard today. But OS vendors
continue to work to make it easier. We used to buy add-ons for windows to
help get IP configured. Perhaps someday the OS vendors will get this right
to the extent that a Cloudpath service isn't necessary. Perhaps some day
we won't need Cloudpath. Nothing is forever in this business.
