E71 - Wifi WPA Enterprise -- How?

ESSID (Network Name): *****
Network Type: Infrastructure (or Access Point)
TCP/IP: DHCP
EAP Type: PEAP
Network Authentication: WPA/WPA2 (WPA/WPA2-enterprise)
Data Encryption: TKIP/AES
Authentication Method/Protocol: MSCHAP-V2
Inner EAP Type: EAP-MSCHAPv2
Certificate - CyberTrust GTE
How do I connect? I have tried all possible settings. Is it impossible to connect with the e71 to this kind of a university wlan network?

This is a very good post of Saataja about your problem. This might help you in the right direction.

Wifi WPA Enterprise

Hello,
My institution uses a very strict (apparently) WPA2 enterprise encryption. For wifi to work on my mac, I need to enter the 802.1x details manually from the network pref panel.
I need to enter TTLS authentification only (and leave PEAP, TLS, etc all disabled) and withint TTLS I need to specify PAP inner authentification.
If I do this, wifi works. If I leave the default settings (TTLS, PEAP, TLS enabled and TTLS with MSCHAPv2 as inner authentification) it doesn't work, and I obtain a "wrong username or password".
Now, with the iPhone I cannot specify any of these settings. I can only enter username and password for either WPA or WPA2 enterprise, and I keep on getting "incorrect user and password".
Is there any way I can configure my iphone correctly?
thanks.
Pd. No.. there's no way I can get IT to modify the network configuration. It's a pretty big government institution that spans all over Spain

I believe that you need to use the iPhone Configuration utility. The Enterprise Deployment guide:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Enterprise_DeploymentGuide.pdf
gives details on what parameters can be set.
DISCLAIMER: I have never used the utility and can offer no help on how to use it!

Certificate Not Verified for Wifi WPA Enterprise

Hi all
I have a MDM server to deploy profile to all enrolled devices (iPhone4s, iPad...etc) for wifi setting (WPA2 PEAP SSID: M_WEP_ENT).
But I found one issue, if users have ever connected to M_WEP_ENT and accepted Certificate.
After deploying profile to the users' devices, it shows "Not Verified" in Certificate while these users try to connect the wifi with specified SSID.
And I also install this profile with iPCU, but there is no this problem, iOS just directly to ask users for input user/password again.
The following is my profile plist setting, does any idea for this issue ?

this TOTALLY fixed the problem for me
(which started i believe when i deleted the cache, cookies and security settings stuff in camino, sometimes apparently the certificates don't like, preserve themselves or something...):

follow the download links...
and also

(follow the first instruction under the resolution heading)
I don't know actually if this last link above is helpful but i did it anyways. If you find out, let me know!
once these have been downloaded to your desktop, double-clicking them automatically opens keychain. Be sure to put them into your X509 Anchors...
It hasn't resolved everything, but the major websites, its made EVERYTHING a lot easier. and no, i don't want to Archive and Install.

Need help - wifi gets disconnected when it goes to sleep mode - iOS 6, iPhone 5, WPA Enterprise

Hi, I have read a lot of discussions regarding wifi gets disconnected when it goes to sleep mode on iOS 6, mainly on iPhone 5.
Here is my configuration and it just keeps disconnecting wifi connection once it goes to sleep mode
iOS 6
iPhone 5 white
Purchased on Nov 3
Work wifi config: WPA Enterprise
I tried to manual add the wifi but it did not work. I tried all except for upgrade to iOS 6.0.1. I had a call to Apple Support and the guy told me I could not trust everything i read from here (well, how dare he is!!!). But I did all I could think of, and read from here.
I am with ATT and I do not have a receiption at all at work. I have to turn it to airplane mode, and use the wifi connection. I put my iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0 side-by-side to compare. My iPhone with iOS 5.0 DOES NOT disconnect the wifi connection when it goes to sleep mode; but of course, we all know, iPhone 5 with iOS 6.0 does
Any helps would be so much appreaticated. I am considering to return the phone to apple store, and cancel my 2 yrs extended contract with ATT. I might think to get another one once they have the issue fixed. It is no point to have an expensive paper-weight at work while I can't use the celluare nor wifi connection.
Thanks again,

Hi ChrisJ4203
I have tested it at home wifi tonight. My phone and my wife's iphone (both iPhone 5 with iOS 6.0) do the same.
With cellular data on (aka airplane mode OFF) with WIFI ON
Wifi icon replaced by ATT's LTE icon once the phone was waken up from sleep mode; but within 2 secs, the wifi connection got reconnected again.
With cellular data OFF (aka airplane mode ON) with WIFI ON
WIFI icon disappeared from the top bar after both phones were waken up from sleep mode. It took a while to reconnect to the wifi network (more than 10 seconds).
On a separate note, after i rebooted my phone, i can see it does "searching" the ATT's signal, then it shows "No Service", then next second, it shows ATT with full bars and LTE icon.
My question is, i have never noticed the "No Service" showing up from my iPhone 4. The "No Service" shows up on my wife's phone too. When I first got her phone and was doing the installation, I had noticed the cell signal dropped from full bars to no service, then within few seconds, it went back up. I have not had time to test on her phone again, but it is something I will be monitoring for. I wonder if anyone has similar experience like this.
anyhow, any feedback on how to fix the wifi got disconnected while in sleep mode would be very helpful.
thanks,

Cannot switch between WPA2 and WPA Enterprise WiFi locations.

Hello Everyone,
I have two Wifi locations I use, a WPA2 and a WPA Enterprise. When I switch locations from one to the other it looks as if that the Airport express resets but does not let go of the active location. I have to manually turn airport off and then on again to have it kick in. Anyone experience this and have a work around?
Thanks in advance,
K.

Why does the WPA Enterprise Wifi Network not get displayed?

I wanted to connect to the wifi of my university via eduroam and was not able to even get the eduroam network displayed in the list of Wifi networks. I'm sure that it was there, because I tried it on several spots and my laptop was always able to find it and connect to it. Could it be that WPA Enterprise is not supported? It's quite standard already, isn't it?
There would be a second option to connect to an open network and add a VPN tunnel, but I could not find any vpn-Application for Firefox OS.
Did I oversee something or is there really no possibility to access any of my university networks?
I am using an Alcatel One Touch Fire (German language set) with current Firefox OS 1.1.0.0-prerelease

It seems to me that WPA Enterprise is not currently enabled in Firefox OS.
There are several bugs regarding this feature, among others: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790056
Regarding VPN, there is a recent thread, which also indicates that this feature is not currently supported. See the discussion here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/967948
It also lists the bug-id related to this features.

Wifi drops constantly on WPA enterprise wifi on my campus

Hello,
I own a macbook pro retina mid 2012 on maverick. The wifi drops constantly on campus, it's a WPA enterprise wifi. The wifi seems to work fine at home. My computer has been sent to an apple store twice for this issue already, I got it back but it is still not working and i spent more than 3 hours on the phone with apple trying to solve that issue. They made me run a lot of stuff, got me to send them files so that their engineers could work on them.
Bottom of the story, they tell me that the problem must come from my university wifi, a wifi network used by 50 000 students every single day and everyone is fine with it ...
I have been to the computer help desk on campus and they had no idea what to do.
So please if anyone has any hint, i would greatly appreciate as I lost faith in apple "engineers" and their skills.
Thanks guys.

WPA-Enterprise WIFI dropping after IOS 6 Upgrade

We use WPA-Enterprise authentication for our WIFI and since upgrading to IOS 6 the connection needs to be reautenticated everytime the iPad is unlocked. This is a major inconveience. With IOS 5 you only autenticated one time and whenever you unlocked your iPad you were already connected.
These are the required settings which IOS 6 still automatically navigates, but it doesn't maintain the login name and password (which autheticates to a RADIUS server):
Network Authentication: WPA-Enterprise
Data Encryption: AES or TKIP
EAP method: PEAP
Inner EAP method: MS-CHAP v2
Check Use Windows user name and password
Uncheck Validate Server certificate

It is forgetting the network everytime the iPad sleeps - even when it doesn't require an unlock passwod.

WHAT IS 802.1 MEANING? HOW CAN I CHOOSE ABOUT OPTION INSIDE BETWEEN 802.1WEP OR WPA ENTERPRISE? WHAT'S DIFFERENT?

802.11 refers to a document that specifies how wireless networking works. It goes into detail about the radio signals, frequencies, signal strengths, encoding of data, etc. From a practical standpoint, the typical person really only care about a couple of things: speed and encryption.
802.11b - describes networks that transmit 11 mbps using a 2.4 GHz radio frequency
802.11g - describes networks that transmit 54 mbps using a 2.4 GHz radio frequency
802.11n - describes networks that transmit up to 600 mbps using 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies
n is faster than g which is faster than b. The speed of a network connection is limited to the slowest part (so, if you have an 'n' router, but your laptop only supports 'g', you get the 'g' speed).
WEP, WPA, and WPA2 refer to data encryption schemes specified in parts of the 802.11 document. With Wi-Fi, you are broadcasting your network activity over a radio, and it's pretty obvious that anyone could eavesdrop on the transmission. By using cryptography, you can scramble the data being passed back and forth so that the sender and receiver still understand the messages sent, but an eavesdropper cannot.
WEP is a very simple encryption scheme, one that the methods to decrypt the data is pretty straight-forward. It's not effective against someone that wants to intentionally eavesdrop on your activities (or access your computer) because they can use software to determine the password simply enough.
WPA and WPA2 are improvements over WEP that make cracking the password even more difficult (WPA2 being better than WPA).
The "enterprise" version of WPA2 refers to a variation on WPA2 that requires special security servers, security certificates, and other complicated systems most likely only applicable to a corporate or military environment. It's impractical for a home or small office.
To connect to a wireless network, you generally don't have to worry about the encryption used since the computer will receive a notice from the wireless network about how it is setup and use the appropriate method. It's probably good for you to pay attention whether the network you are connecting to is secure or not.
If you are setting up a network at home using a cable modem or broadband router, or even just a Wi-Fi access point, you want to set it up to use WPA2 unless you have some very old computers that only support WPA. You should avoid using WEP.

Upgrade to Mavericks make Eduroam (WPA Enterprise) intermittent wifi

After upgrade to Mavericks, my MacBook Pro can't stay connected to eduroam for at leas 2 min following, it's always falling.. Any help, and after update to 10.9.2 the stability have dropped considerably..
Any help please..

You're not alone. I have exactly the same wifi problem since the update to 10.9.2. I can't connect to eduroam or to my university wifi (WPA2 Enterprise). I have no IP adress assigned ! At the same time, I have no problem with my PC with Windows Seven ! I have the same problem with my iPhone (ios 7.0.6).
At home, my wifi is WPA2 Personnal and I have no problem nor with my Macbook, nor with my iPhone.
Thanks for your help.

WPA Enterprise for E63

Hi,
I just bought an E63 just to realize that I cannot use it with my work WiFi. My workplace WiFi is WPA Enterprise. Is there an upgrade to the software to support WPA Enterprise
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I suggest you contact your IT department on this matter. Setting up EAP-PEAP is not an easy thing to do. The link is an example of how it can be done.

Connecting MBA to domain using WPA Enterprise

Hi guys!
I'm having "the usual" new MBA WiFi-problems, meaning my MBA keeps dropping the WiFi connection occasionally, but that's going on in another thread.
I don't know whether this is a related problem, but I can't seem to connect the MBA to the WiFi network at the office at all. The network connection dialog tells me my connection needs WPA Enterprise credentials, but no matter what I write, I won't get connected.
So I'll start with the basics. This works for every other device I have (PC laptop, iPhone, iPads and so on):
Username: \\MyDomain\MyUserName
Password: MyPassword
But not for the MBA. For the domain/username, I've tried single \´s and /´s and just about any combination just in case this is a "Mac syntax thing" (this is my first Mac laptop), with and without the MyDomain part, lowercase, uppercase, quotation marks around the password (as I saw mentioned in some thread in the case of alphanumeric WEP, or some such), but nothing works. I don't remember the exact error message, but it has to do with the authentication server perhaps not being available.
Apparently others have had problems with the WPA Enterprise connections as well, but could somebody just confirm that the \\MyDomain\MyUsename -syntax I'm using is indeed correct.
Cheers,
Kim

Marc,
I'm suprised that WPA works over WDS. I had thought that because WPA cycles the encryption key with each message transmission that the two Airport devices would quickly get out of sync.
But I do respect Alan's opinion, so I'd give in to his statement that it does work, I'll be searching through the update readme's to see when it started working.
You could always drop back to WEP encryption. Unless you have the FBI next door listening in and analysing all your network traffic, it's not going to be broken.
WPA changes the encryption key with each wireless message, WEP doesn't. So in theory, with WEP, someone could analyse all your network traffic, looking for patterns. You can work out just how hard that is.
If you choose an obvious password (like from a dictionary) it won't matter if you're on WPA instead of WEP, the Feds / hackers will be in in a short time.

WPA Enterprise on Palm Pre

We have found that the Palm Pre will not connect to our WPA Enterprise wireless system, because our network needs clients to eliminate the "validate server certificate" process. For example, our standard laptops use the SecureW2 client and the "validate server certificate" needs to be disabled in the client software. If this option is enabled, the SecureW2 client won't connect either (just like the Palm Pre won't).
How can this be done on a Palm Pre?
Thanks.
PS-- the Palm Pre connects perfectly to WPA personal networks

If the WiFi setup doesn't require a user certificate, you should select "None" for a certificate when defining the connection. The CA certificate(s) you installed earlier are used automatically as long as they are enabled for WiFi usage.
Here are the settings for the network for a Nokia N82. Maybe, this will help shed some light on the issue. FYI - I could not make these settings work for my Nokia N8 as well. The IT help desk says they are unable to solve the issue.

The connection dialog is supposed to show only actual user certificates to choose from, but it is a known bug in the current N9 FW that if you install something that is not a CA certificate it is taken for a user certificate by default and shown as an option in the connection dialog. The bug will be fixed in the next FW update I believe.
I have only installed one CA certificate (the one which can be found at the link I provided above). It does not ask for any password when I install it. When I go to Certificate Manager and try to change the password it informs that there is no password for the certificate.

On the other hand, if the connection does require a user certificate you should have received one from the network's administrator in a PKCS#12 package with a password. You need the password when installing the package and later when using the private key related to the user certificate. But it sounds like this is not the case, so just select "None".
Hope this helps.

So I did choose "None" as certificate. EAP Type - PEAP and EAP MSCHAPv2 as the EAP method. I could not connect to the network using these settings. The certificate was installed at this point. If I try connecting using the certifcate it asks me for the password. So, right now, it is a problem connecting to the network. Would appreciate any help in this regard.

WPA enterprise (need to not validate Certificate)

We currently use WPA Enterprise and we require the network to be configed manually to get it to work on a windows 7 pc.
We have to create the Wireless as so:
Network name: XYZ
Security: WPA-Enterprise
Encrypton type: TKIP
Under Properties for network... we need to change PEAP and uncheck Validate server certificate
Either we enable single signon if it's a domain joined PC and tell it to send user info from logged in user...
Or we store user info for non domain joined PC's.
Ok so that's how we get a PC running windows 7 to join the network...
I can't get an Iphone running 3.1.3 or an Ipad wifi model to connect.
Note: the iphone used to work on our network (nothing changed in 1 year)
WE use Cisco Wireless LAN controllers 4400 series and ABG light weight Access points.
How can I manually configure the wifi on an apple product? iphone/ipad

Try using the iPhone Configuration Utility.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL851 - (for Mac)
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL926 - (for Windows)
It will let you manually select the security type and protocol. It also lets you install certificates and set trust exceptions on the devices.
You can find detailed information about the iPhone Configuration Utility in the Enterprise Deployment Guide, which is available here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Enterprise_DeploymentGuide.pdf

802.1X Authentication fails when connecting to WPA Enterprise using Leopard

I'm trying to connect to an office WiFi network with my MacBook Pro which has 10.5.1 installed.
There are instructions on how to connect using Tiger which are very simple:
1. Enter network name
2. Wireless Security: WPA Enterprise
3. Enter domain credentials for username and password fields
4. 802.1X Configuration: Automatic
There are at least two people here using Tiger that can connect using these instructions.
I've tried the same thing with Leopard and keep getting an error dialog stating "802.1X Authentication has failed."
I've also tried fiddling with the 802.1X tab under "Advanced" (I know the protocol is PEAP), but no matter what I get the same error.

Turns out I was not authorized to use the WiFi. IT got me setup and everything works now.
