Hello fellow XDA users,
I've tried to connect to my universities Wi-fi network but they use WPA2 Enterprise. They have a page for the Iphone on how to set up the connection, http://itdfaq.aus.edu/faq/index.php?action=artikel&cat=5&id=159&artlang=en.
However I can't seem to find the same exact settings on my Desire.
Can you help me connect to my network?
I am using Sense Froyo right now, any help is really appreciated!
Don't think you can connect to that type or network with the Desire, might be wrong though

I really hope it's not true. Because we have a high end phone & because the Iphone can do it.
Hmm here WPA2 Radius Auth. is working fine out of the box with Open Desire ... also Stock unrooted is working fine.
Radius is working fine, even VPN. As fast as with an Iphone! ;-) (a little bit faster ... no benchmark, personal feelings )
You need the Username and Password and some auth settings (can also be done with testing), thats all ... perhaps the admin uses an cert., so you have to ask for one ... but i dont think that you will need an Cert ... too much admin work for so many students ;-)
I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use WPA2. However, many universities and schools use SecureW2 or similar software for authentication. Just pay a visit to your university's helpdesk.

I have zero understanding about networking. So can you please take a look at this and help me understand: http://itdfaq.aus.edu/faq/index.php?action=artikel&cat=5&id=19&artlang=en
Thank you.
My university uses a WPA2 Enterprise secured wireless network and the good news is that I was able to connect with my stock HTC Desire. The bad news is of course that it isn't as simple as it should be.
What I did was reset my phone's so called Credential Storage and assign a new personal password to it. Then I proceeded to identify some specific Root Certificate Authority certificate needed to establish a connection between a random device and the university networks in my country. In Switzerland, I had to download the QuoVadis Root CA2 certificate and install it into the Credential Storage. After that, the phone determined after connecting to the secured network what parameters were necessary to get internet access.
I was able to simply specify my account and password and link those parameters to that network. Since then, everything works as expected.

So I need to download the .cert file and install it through the credentials storage. I will try that and report, thank you guys.
I use WPA2 Enterprise at uni all the time, and it downloaded the certificate upon first connect. Requires secure credentials to be enabled, but i think if its disabled it will prompt you at the time.
There are different Settings in your Link (first page) and the xp infos on the site. ... i thought that the following infos will do it for you.
Download the cert to sd
Add an connection (manually)
Network name: AUS_Wireless (makes sure it is typed exactly this way)
Security type: 802.1x
PEAP / EAP
Encryption type: WPA/TKIP
Leave the security key field empty
User name: b000xxxxx/g000xxxxx (without adding @aus.edu)
Enter your network password (provided by IT via email)
Now you should be able to connect.
I did it.
A weird thing happened. I connected to the network and this time I was asked to add a password for the credential. So it seems that my phone downloaded it this time and saved it.
Thank you guys for your help.
Ok so I'm having an issue with my home PPTP VPN.
Whenever I try to connect with the stock android VPN client, sometimes (rarely) it will connect just fine. However, most of the time I get "Server hung up. The username and password you entered could be incorrect." I know the username and password is correct.
I read somewhere that this is due to something with T-Mobile's IP assignment tables or something, is that true?
Will this tun.ko for VPN thing I'm seeing in the Android Development forum fix this issue?
If you go to enable VPN, it requires you to set a lock on your phone. Is there a way around this or a mod you can do if you are rooted to bypass this?
This is also driving me nuts.
I don't know if SecureSettings Tasker plugin supports ICS, but if it does, I can imagine a Tasker profile that enables lock right before you about to connect via VPN.
yeah, it's crazy. i don't even want to save my vpn password, so why should I be forced to use the secured cred. storage?
the only way I found so far is to delete the vpn after using it an re-entering when you need it. My admin loves it, I hate it.
I have setup a Vpn connection on my Galaxy Nexus, but now I always have to enter a password to get in the phone,no more slider... Can I keep my vpn connection and don't have to unlock the phone by pin?

Apparently with ICS comes the forcing of a screen lock when you have a VPN, installed cert, or Exchange setup.
I have a cert installed which forces a lock screen, so i would like to know how to get around this as well.
Thanks.
I would also like to know this. It is very annoying...

Hy,
I wrote an application that can connect to a PPTP VPN Server
without having to use PIN or Pattern :
PPTP VPN Manager
i would love that too, in S5 it forces you to back to PIN or password if enabled the VPN, so the whole fingerprint feature is gone!! anyone has an idea how to get around this? android 4.4 samsung galaxy S5
Hey guys,
I am new to the android world as of 2 weeks ago or so.
I was just wondering, is there any way to connect to WPA/WPA2 Enterprise, but the type that asks for Username.
On the iPhone I was able to enter Username and Password which is what is required for my corporate network here, but on the android, for some reason I am not able to get this and when I select WPA/WPA2 PSK it only asks me for password, but it cannot authenticate me because I need to use my corporate Username and Password to access the network.
Please let me know if you guys can advise me on this.
Thanks in advance
