Testing your eduroam setup (especially when you are new) can be daunting. The developers of the wpa_supplicant software on Linux provide a handy tool called eapol_test that will test an EAP authentication flow like a client with a lot of debug information.
eapol_test is traditionally only available on Linux. Instructions to build it for Linux and for 64-bit Windows (Windows 7 and later) are below.
If you do not want to build eapol_test for Windows yourself, you can download a digitally signed copy at Github: https://github.com/janetuk/eapol_test
