[Q] How do I install certificates? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to a L2TP/IPSEC CRT VPN. I have the certificate in pfx format in my sdcard root directory(renamed to p12) but I've no clue how to install it to my phone.
Does anyone know?
Edit: I tried to install the certificate in .cer format using the Android certificate installer, but it only installed the CA certificate and not the user certificate. Under Add L2TP/IPSec CRT VPN dialog I'm still unable to set the user certificate.
TIA.

Hi,
I figured it out - it's in menu->settings->security->install from sd card. Just connected to a L2TP/IPSec CRT VPN using the Android VPN settings. Why would one need Cisco's Anyconnect or any other VPN client if there's integrated VPN support in Android?

Help please!

Here is the same but the problem has been reversed! I've installed user certificate and set it but don't know how I can create CA certificate and install it. Please help!
Thanks.
P.S: My certification file extension is .crt not .cer.

What do certificates do?

Certificates are usually used for authentication purposes.

Many Enterprise systems using Cisco require Cisco's software to connect (namely because Cisco made it that way so that they could make more money).

AFAIK, Cisco's AnyConnect doesn't support IPSec, but uses SSL instead.

Has anyone managed to install an 802.11x certificate?

Hello,
My uni requires use of a certificate (in cer, der or pem format) in order to use the wifi. I've done some google research but haven't been able to find a successful method of getting the certificate installed. Renaming the files to a .p12 and importing from sd card asks for a extraction password, which doesn't seem to be the certificate store password that you can set.
I was wondering if anyone had had any luck on 2.1 and had any tips...
I had the same issue. I tried to by-pass by using mschap in the configuration screen, and it worked.

I managed to install the certificate by using this neat little online tool:
Search for the Realmb droid cert online installer.
Edit: After being a reader of these forums for 2 years I don't seem to have enough privileges to post a useful link, crazy!
I can now see it in the certificate list when adding the network but the real test will be when I go into uni!

You need the certificate in PKCS#12 format. I don't know if renaming a X.509 certificate to .p12 will do the trick.
You need to copy the certificate to the SD card and then use "Install from SD card" in Settings -> Security.
The password it asks for when installing is the certificate pass-phrase and not the "Credential storage password".

Hi all,
I have my own EAP wireless network at home which I would like to add my Galaxy to (coz I can, the WPA2 si working fine, but i'm never satisfied ) ... I also run my own internal CA to issue the certificates for my domain etc... what certificate type do I need to issue? web enroll a machine cert?

Htc Desire & network certificates ..

For wi-fi ..
My university wi-fi network uses "Enterprise" security and this is employed by installing a .p12 file (wich is esentially a packed file with a user certificate, root certificate, and private key) generated by the sys-admin.
When going in Security and you go to install the certificate from the file on the sd card, everything went smooth for the first time. It connected to the network, got some speed tests working, everything was ok.
After 1 day, I came back and tried to acces the wi-fi again. The wi-fi manager and the setting dialogue said just : "disconnected" .. connecting to the network ..and then "disconnected". No, the wi-fi network is just as it was when it worked, talked to the admins they did not change/update/modify anything. My MAC was entered
I deleted the whole credential thing, reset passwords , reinstalled .p12 files, to no use. It just will not connect again to the same network.
At home works fine, I enable wi-fi, detects my network and connects just fine.
And another weird thing: when you clear the credential manager, to uninstall the .p12 file it does not spit back on the sd card the .p12 file. When I installed it, the file vanished from the SD card, but when I reset the credentials it was lost for good... Kinda dumb ...
And if your wi-fi admins issue you with some .cer or .der files, they are ok, you just need a linux machine with "openssl" command to extract, combine & so on and then create the .p12 file that the HTC Desire understands. If you google .pam to .p12 or .der to .p12 or .cer to .p12 you will get through (eventually, and with less brain cells !!!!! ).
And the question is:
any idea what happened ? Is there any way to somehow deeper-reset the wi-fi connection certificates ? (don't want to reset my phone)
I tried installing certificates from another user, same error... I used the Root certificate from another user, the client certificate from me.. all kinds of combinations ... nothing .. "disconnected"..
nobody ?! :|
oh come on ...
I'm guessing nobody knows the answer =\
Your best bet would be HTC's support.

Cyanogenmod and OpenVPN w/ tls-auth issue

I'm trying to configure OpenVPN connection using the Cyanogenmod 7.1rc1 built-in client. All works except I can't enable --tls-auth option in the extra args using the workaround suggested on the issue #1542 on the official google-code site (sorry I can't use url in my messages yet)
The client simply seems to ignore the ta.key file.
I placed the ta.key file on sdcard (/mnt/sdcard) can be a problem?

Wifi Passwords as Plaintext for Android 6.xx and above

Hi,
is there a possibility to show saved wifi passwords in plaintext?
I tried different Apps; root and non-root, but passwords were always in hash´s.
wpa_supplicant.conf does not show plain passwords either.

I tried WPS connct from the playstore. But this app also shows passwords as hash text not as plain text.
I found a xposed Modul, that does the job.

Have you tried adding/changing the following line to the build.prop?
ro.securestorage.support=false

Doesn't work.
My Samsung A3 (2017) doesn't hide wifi passwords behind ******s, it simply doesn't display any stored passwords at all. Instead, it fills the password field with a greyed-out "(unchanged)" whether this module is active or not.
