An EAP-CONFIG file stores configuration details for connecting to wireless networks using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). It's an XML-based file used by the eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT) primarily on Android devices to simplify the often complex process of configuring eduroam Wi-Fi access. The file contains identity provider information necessary for authentication and enables users to seamlessly connect to eduroam networks without manual configuration. This file format is classified as Configuration file.

The file format determines how the data is stored in the file. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature).

If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. In the following you will find our evaluation of the EAP-CONFIG files:

The EAP-CONFIG file extension is rarely used and predominantly uses a uniform format.

100% of all EAP-CONFIG files are based on the popular XML file format. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. These files are text files and can therefore be read using a text editor. A typical file size is 22 KB. The file type is very recent. The files contain the following words: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>, <EAPIdentityProviderList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="eap-metadata.xsd"> and <EAPIdentityProvider version=". Files like these have the following tags: eduroam, generic, android, recent, etudiants, udsds, universitat, general, perfil and utente.
