Invalid pre-shared wpa key issue possible fix (E63...

Hi. i had a problem with autenthification for my phone, invalid pre-shared wpa key error message. i had to put my wireless router on discoverable mode(unhide your SSID). this is a security change to your wi-fi router, note that you're going to be more vulnerable(but still you'll have the wep/wpa keys activated, so you dont have to worry about hat.) this fixed my problem, hope will fix your too.

i found the solution myself!!!...what i did was, i went to Settings > Connectivity > Destinations > Internet > Options > New access point > clicked on the wlan that I wanted to add and that's it! I can connect now to the wi-fi connection in my home... hope this could help others

Pre shared wep key

i have recently joined btfon community and have successfully connected to local hotspots using a nokia 5800 expressmusic mobile phone. while i have been away from home i tried to connect to avavailable hotspots but my phone tells me i require a pre-shared wep key .could anyone tell me what this is and how i obtain one?
many thanks acer

If it's asking for a key, then you're probably connecting to the wrong service - somebody's private internet connection. The WEP key is a password known to the wireless router, and which you also need to know to connect to the router. You get it if someone decides to give it to you.

2.2.1.23 Sync Issue 'Possible' Fix

Sorry if this is already out there - there are so many posts, I wasn't sure.
Like so many of you I have had sync issues with the latest update - 2.2.1.23
I got the following reply from Nokia Customer Services when I sent them a **bleep** email and having followed this, my N95 now syncs automatically again on 2.2.1.23
I think the secret is in 5,6 & 7 as I had tried everything else. If, like me, you are running Vista, for 5 & 6 look for and delete any Nokia folder in C:\Users\<my user>\AppData
1. Disconnect phone from PC
2. Go to Control Panel-> Add and remove programs.
3. Uninstall ALL Nokia software. The Ovi, driver, software updater etc etc.
4. Restart windows
5. Once restart is complete, go to C:\Documents and Settings\<my user>\Application Data. Delete all Nokia folders
6. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\<my user>\Local Settings\Application Data and delete all Nokia folders
7. Go to C:\Program Files\ and delete all Nokia folders
8. Download latest Nokia Ovi suite from the web (Nokia_Ovi_Suite_webinstaller.exe)
9. Install latest Nokia Ovi and try to resync again.
Good luck one and all

Sorry folks - bad news - it has failed again and now it is worse than ever.
I will update if I get a fix.

Nokia N8 "redish" dysplay issue (possible FIX!)

I was comparing phones with a friend today (we both have the N8) and he has an "display bug", that I experience in a very low percentage.
We had the idea to test using the Light Sensor. It worked. When he put direct light into the senzor, forcing it to give the display maximum power and no "worked" colors (in the same way the HDMI outputs), the bug completely went away.
So this tells me it is a software issue, probably the driver for the video chip needs some rethinking.
I've posted this here in hopes that someone from the Dev team would come across my post and fix the software. The bug is best viewed opening the attached image.
Thank you and have a nice day

Please help, i have ntered the wrong pre shared key code, how do i delete it and start again!

If the problem is the wrong key entered then you should just modify it in the Access Point settings. Access Point settings can be accessed as per Android's instructions above.

Pre-Shared key

Hi All,
i just have a quick quest.
what are the characters that i can use in my Pre-Shared key to establish VPN tunnel? i'm wondering can i use the following characters: ! @ # $ _
Thanks in advance...

Hi, I just experienced a problem the may be related to these special characters. I didn't test fully so take this advice with a bit of caution: Under ASA 7.23 OS and possible other OS versions, using special characters in keys causes the key to become deformed, or invalid (don't know which). I upgraded to OS 8.X, re-entered the pre-shared key with special characters and it worked.

Mobile Devices (Android and iOS) cannot Connect to WS 2008 RRAS L2TP VPN with Pre-Shared Key

I have my Windows Server 2008 standard installed with RRAS service and configure with L2TP VPN with pre-shared key. Services such as Active Directory, DHCP and DNS are not installed. The Internet connection doesn't pass through a router to my server machine.
I have the Verizon fios Internet cable plugged in to the server machine directly.
PCs running Windows and Mac OS X can connect to the server without problem. When I tried to connect by using android or iOS mobiles and tablets, they cannot connect to the server. If I change the VPN type to PPTP, the mobile devices can connect successfully
but I would like to use IPSec/L2TP since it's more secure.
I tried so hard to look for the solution for this issue on Internet but I had no luck on that. Can anyone please provide me some help, please ?
Thanks,
CK

Hi CK,
I think we may need to create a policy in Network Policies. Please follow the steps below,
Right click Network Policies, Click New.
Enter the policy name, click Next.
Click Add, select the Day and Time Restrictions, click
Add.
In the Day and Time Restrictions, choose Permited for
all, click OK.
Click Next five times(leave everything default), click
Finish.
Move the policy to top and try to connect with your device.
If issue persists, please make sure that the Connection Requet Policies have been configured properly.
For detailed information about how to create a network policy, please refer to the link below,

ASA Iphone, Ipad VPN client pre-shared key (PSK) special characters bug

I ran into this in a deployment of IPSec clients with apple ipad and iphone native vpn client. Here are details:
Cisco ASA 8.2.5 OS
Ipad, running 5.0.1
Iphone i4S, running OS 5.0.1
Special characters make your pre-shared key more secure, so i used a password generator app to make one that coincidently included a " (quotation mark). After configuring this PSK on a Ipad, i was unable to connect. I saw nothing in the ASA logs, indicating the Ipad didnt even try to connect.
The Ipad generated the following error message:
VPN Connection
A configuration error occured
OK Button
After searching for quite some time, i found this somewhat obscure reference to the bug:
http://blogs.oreilly.com/iphone/2008/07/strong-passwords-can-hurt.html
Special thx to this guy!
So i started to test special characters to see what would work, adding in 1 character at a time. Here is where I stopped:
pre-shared-key !@#$%^&*()_-+=;:'<>,.
These characters worked in the PSK. If you are curious, and want to play, have fun. I assume the alphnumerics will work since those are pretty standard.
As a side note, here are a few more interesting items:
1) The " (quote mark) does work when you run the real cisco vpn client. This was successful on a Windows 7 laptop with 5.X VPN Client.
2) The ? (question mark) doesnt work as well, but that is a little easier to figure out because when you configure it on the ASA, context-sensitive help kicks in and knocks you off the config line.
3) Iphone I4S suffers from the same issue - doesnt like quotes.
4) Android is probably not affected by this bug, but I tested on an open source TUN driver- enabled adroid - not the bionic.
Hope that saves someone some time, sometime!

Thanks for the tip.
Help stamp out special characters in passwords. Their "strength" is a myth!

N 97 mini invalid preshared WPA key

Hi guys, I also suffer form this bug of invalid preshared WPA key. The WLAN worked before, but stopped working one fine day. Have tried most of the things in these forum which I could understand. Also did a hard reset with thanks to U tube, but still with that invalid preshared key situation. Laptop and another device works well on the same WLAN. Is the WPA preshared key same as the password for the WLAN connection. If so have performed this step a dozen times. No luck. have been using a D link ADSL 502T and a D link wireless router. Need assistance please. Not much of a tech guy so be patient and verbose.

Thanks android for the reply. Tried both. When I had first entered it last year it was ascii. But I did have both the keys and neither worked.
Is it possible to reconfigure my wireless router after a hard reset and get things right??
Ultramark
Make sure you don't use special characters in your WPA psk. Turn off WPA2 only mode on your E97m.

Ciscoworks LMS RME / ASA Firewall configuration pre-shared key savings

Does anybody know the concept about saving pre-shared by Ciscoworks LMS /RME ?
Is there a way to get the unencrypted values from Ciscoworks LMS /RME for an ASA Firewall ?
ASA config. saved with RME
pre-shared-key *
ASA config. saved to TFTP from ASA
pre-shared-key 1ZdmaKVwEkQ66nD37d9kA9fj9z75

If you enable "shadow directory" (RME - Admin - Config Mgmt - Archive Mgmt - Archive Settings), you can find the raw configs in locations such as /var/adm/CSCOpx/files/rme/dcma/shadow/Security_and_VPN/PRIMARY on Solaris, or its Windows equivalent, after one requisite cycle of Periodic Polling and/or Periodic Collection. That's the same config one'd get saving to TFTP manually.
However, I don't recall how to unscramble the "asterisks" in the RME GUI, if at all possible.

Pre-shared Key Off-line Bruteforcing Using IKE Aggressive Mode

Hi, I have 10 site-to-site VPN's, they consist of Cisco 837's and 877's. I run a security scan (Qualys vulnerability scanning) against the public IP of the routers and half of them come back with the vulnerability below. They are all using the latest IOS and all connect to a Cisco Concentrator.
Here is the vulnerability, that means nothing to me, is it anything to worry about, all pre-shared keys are 8 characters or more and have letters, numbers, and symbols and capital letters:
Pre-shared Key Off-line Bruteforcing Using IKE Aggressive Mode
THREAT:
IKE is used during Phase 1 and Phase 2 of establishing an IPSec connection. Phase 1 is where the two ISAKMP peers establish a secure, authenticated channel with which to communicate. Every participant in IKE must possess a key which may be either pre-shared (PSK) or a public key. There are inherent risks to configurations that use pre-shared keys which are exaggerated when Aggressive Mode is used.
IMPACT:
Using Aggressive Mode with pre-shared keys is the least secure option. In this particular scenario, it is possible for an attacker to gather all necessary information in order to mount an off-line dictionary (brute force) attack on the pre-shared keys. For more information about this type of attack, visit http://www.ima.umn.edu/~pliam/xauth/.
SOLUTION:
IKE Aggressive mode with pre-shared keys should be avoided where possible. Otherwise a strong pre-shared key should be chosen.
Note that this attack method has been known and discussed within the IETF IPSec Working Group. The risk was considered as acceptable. For more information on this, visit http://www.vpnc.org/ietf-ipsec/99.ipsec/thrd2.html#01451.

The description of the vulnerability specifies IKE aggressive mode. So my first question would be whether you are using IKE in aggressive mode or in main mode? In my experience most router based site to site VPN use main mode (though aggressive mode is an option) while many Remote Access VPN use aggressive mode. So which mode are you using?
The second part of my response goes back to what I said in my earlier response. What kind of key are you using? How long is it and how strong is it? When you think about it any time we authenticate using shared keys there is some degree of vulnerability to brute force attack. The longer the key and the stronger the key the more you have mitigated the risk.

Sync SHARED Outlook calendar with iPhone (possible fix!)

Hey all,
My business uses a shared calendar in Microsoft Outlook 2007. Our personal calendars sync fine. However, the shared calendar does not appear in iTunes.
POSSIBLE FIX: If you create a local copy of the shared calendar by clicking and dragging from Public Folders to Calendar in Outlook, it will appear in iTunes and will sync.
QUESTION: How do I automate this process, so that a local copy is created whenever the shared calendar is updated?

1. Apple has removed sync services in OS X Mavericks. Therefore, you cannot sync Outlook 2011 with Contacts or Calendar.
2. Apple has removed the ability to sync through iTunes in OS X Mavericks, so that, even if you use Contacts and Calendar on the Mac, you can only sync them with your iPhone through iCloud, thus exposing all your contacts and calendar information to the mercies of the Web.
3. Microsoft does not not support CalDAV and CardDAV in Outlook, so there is no way to sync directly through iCloud, except perhaps by setting up a Microsoft Exchange account.
4. Apple makes it extremely difficult (virtually impossible) to revert to a version of OSX that is earlier than OS X Mavericks once Mavericks is installed.
In short, we are screwed and neither company seems to care.

WLC: Need to change pre-shared key with a script

AnyConnect and Pre-Shared Keys

Hello,
I am extremely new to AnyConnect and VPN, so I have a few questions for you guys. I am trying to configure an AnyConnect Client on Android to connect to my ASA 5505 via IPSEC. It's configured with (I believe) IKEv1 with pre-shared key and group identifier. I think IKEv2 is certificate based only, and I am not using certificates at this time. I can't seem to find any settings in the app to configure it this way... Can the AnyConnect client connect to this type of connection? If so, what may I be missing? I can configure the default VPN client built into Android and it works fine, but I am being told to use the AnyConnect client. If you need more info, let me know, I'm not sure what to put on here to give the info needed to help. Thanks!

Believe I found my answer:
Cisco AnyConnect VPN
Q. I see that the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client supports IPsec. Will Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client work with Cisco VPN 3000 Series concentrators?
A. No. Cisco VPN 3000 Series concentrators support IPsec/IKEv1. Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Version 3.0 and greater supports IPsec/IKEv2 connectivity but not IPsec/IKEv1.
From http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/vpndevc/ps5743/ps5699/ps10884/qa_c67-712937_ns1049_Networking_Solutions_Q_and_A.html
If there is a workaround or something, please let me know. If not, oh well!

Show clear text pre shared key asa 5500.....

I have read several of the posts on how to show your pre shared keys in clear text. I am in the process of converting a 5520 over to a 5525-x and I got to the point where I need the pre-shared keys
the more system:running-config command does NOT show the clear text of the keys nor does access the file via https:// either.
the 5520 is running Software Version 8.4(2)18
any thoughts how I can wrestle this info out of the asa as I'm not getting anywhere with what seems to have worked for a few others.
Thank in advance
Sincerely
Paul

The command more system:run should show you those keys.
Couple things that I have seen
I have seen it where someone configured pre-shared key by cutting and pasting the key as it is shown when you do a show run, so it was entered as ****. You can check this buy entering a dummy config with a key and then run the more system:run and see if it shows up.
also check the privilege level of your login and make sure it is 15.
