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.

  • 802.1x or WPA-Enterprise or Radius

    I have seen a lot of posts mentioning compatibility with WPA encrypted networks. However, all these are WPA-Personal (or WPA-PSK), meaning they have a pre-shared key, or password, for authentication.
    My question is whether 802.1x is supported on the iPhone. Many businesses, schools, etc., require this (sometimes called WPA-Enterprise) for authentication, in which a username and password must be entered rather than a shared-key.
    Can any of you savvy new iPhone users answer this question? It would save me a trip to the store...
    Thank you!
    Various Macs and PC's   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    No details on specific encryption support in the user manual, but I found this:
    http://www.utexas.edu/its/alerts/announcements/iphonecompatibility_on_the_ut_wirelessnetwork/
    "The iPhone does not support the WPA Enterprise protocol, the industry standard used to support user login on the UT network."

    Setting up iPad, don't know what to select for security; WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA Enterprise or WPA2 Enterprise.  We have service through Charter cable.
    Thanks for your help!

    Choose the strongest security available on your router, preferably WPA2 using AES encryption and a long complex passphrase with at least 14 characters (the maximum is 63 characters).

  • LaserJet CP1525nw & WPA-enterprise

    We bought a LaserJet CP1525nw printer because of its airprint support for printing from our iPads. Our wireless network uses WPA-enterprise security.
     We are unable to connect the printer to the wireless due to the enterprise authentication. ipad is unable to find the printer.
     We need  printing from the iPads, ePrint does not offer.  Any help would be much appreciated. Firmware 20110329.

    Hello,
    If you have not already, I might recommend going here and then looking at the link for iPad printing for ePrint/Airprint or ePrint Home and Biz.  Good Luck!

  • Remembering WPA Enterprise Network

    At my university, the wireless network is a WPA enterprise network. Each time I want to connect, I have to enter everything in manually. How do I get it to remember the network?

    Thank you both for your replies. I am trying iphitus ideia but am having trouble and the wiki doesn't have much info (not related to this issue at least).
    ifconfig -a related to the wireless interface:

    I don't think this information in the profile is enough, doesn't say which WPA protocol uses, nor the user (in the WPA Enterprise case) so I believe the problem might be related to that lack of info in the profile. The wiki didn't have an example for WPA enterprise though
    EDIT: Also my wpa_supplicant.conf is like the one on my first post with these aditional lines:

  • Wpa enterprise help

    I have a MacBook, that is running leopard. I am having trouble connecting to my schools wpa enterprise wireless. I am regestered to access the wireless, but am having trouble connecting. I think my problem is that i dont know how to tell the computer which domain on the wireless network. The connection i am trying to get has many domains.

    Ok, sorry for the super delayed response but I didn't have access to my laptop, then I was busy with midterms. I successfully connected manually with wpa_supplicant with this config file:
    [phil@pwned network.d]$ cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
    ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
    eapol_version=1
    ap_scan=1
    fast_reauth=1
    network={
    ssid="uw-secure"
    scan_ssid=1
    key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
    eap=PEAP
    identity="rofl"
    password="lolol"
    phase1="peaplabel=0"
    I then updated my uw-secure file so that it referenced the new wpa config file:
    [phil@pwned network.d]$ cat uw-secure
    CONNECTION="wireless"
    DESCRIPTION="secure uw"
    INTERFACE="wlan0"
    IP="dhcp"
    SECURITY="wpa-config"
    SCAN="YES"
    WPA_CONF="/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"
    I then tried to connect with netcfg, and I got this:
    [phil@pwned network.d]$ sudo netcfg uw-secure
    :: uw-secure up
    wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Device or resource busy
    wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
    wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
    wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down

    any help would be appreciated.

  • WPA Enterprise Connectivity

    Hi - I'm currently in Baton Rouge, LA and attend school at LSU. Our wireless network, lsusecure, is WPA Enterprise, which is supposed to be compatible with iPhone 2.0. The problem is, I can't seem to connect to the network. I enter my LSU username and password, which works for connecting on a computer, and it consistently says "connecting to lsusecure" but nothing ever happens. I was just wondering if I will have to enter in more information about the network rather than just using my regular login information. If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it, as Tech Services at LSU currently has no information on how to connect.

    Guidedbyvoip, sorry your IT Dept is no help.
    But, here at LSU, we are here to help! Hope these directions can work for you as well, instead of needing a 3rd party config util!
    ccastl1, please follow the following directions to configure your iPhone to connect to our LSUSECURE wireless network.
    Note: The device must be updated to firmware 2.0 in order to connect to lsusecure
    1. Select "Settings"
    2. Select "Wi-Fi"
    3. Make sure Wi-Fi is turned on. If the device is connected to any other network other than lsusecure (it will usually connect to lsuwireless first) you must remove that network before connecting to lsusecure.
    4. Select the network it is connected to by pressing on the blue arrow to the right of the name.
    5. Select "Forget this Network"
    6. Choose "Forget Network"
    7. Select lsusecure
    8. Enter your PAWS Username & Password and press "Join" at the bottom right of the keyboard.
    9. Accept the certificate by pressing "Accept"
    You are now connected to lsusecure!
    Please contact us directly if you have any further questions or problems!
    Thanks!

  • 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.

  • 10.4.2 and WPA Enterprise NOT working

    Dears,
    I have 2 machines configured in this way:
    - 10.3.9 with Airport card (no Extreme) and latest Airport drivers;
    - 10.4.2 with Airport Extreme card and latest Airport drivers;
    I try to connect to our WPA Enterprise wireless network and i got 2 different results:
    - 10.3.9 connects and works;
    - 10.4.2 returns an error, the logs show the following:
    2005-08-18 13:23:17.601 SystemUIServer[380] EAPOLControlCopyStateAndStatus failed for "en1" (err = 6)
    There was an error trying to get authentication status: 6
    com.apple.network.EAPOLController not active
    Before upgrading to 10.4.2 the same machine with 10.4.1 was able to connect to WPA Enterprise.
    I further investigated on this, seems that under 10.4.2 the folder /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/EAPOLController.bundle is empty, while under 10.4.1 it contained some files (oh yes, I have the disk image of the workstation when it had 10.4.1).
    Maybe the guru guys from Apple can see if the 10.4.2 updater deleted those files in error.. bye !

    Hi Rick,
    I did the following:
    - Re-install 10.4.2 upgrade;
    - Re-install Airport 4.2 upgrade;
    - Repair permissions;
    - Check Keychain.
    I still got those errors in the logs:
    2005-08-19 16:01:07.966 Internet Connect[280] EAPOLControlCopyStateAndStatus failed for "en1" (err = 6)
    There was an error trying to get authentication status: 6
    com.apple.network.EAPOLController not active
    2005-08-19 16:01:07.971 Internet Connect[280] EAPOLControlCopyStateAndStatus err = 6
    com.apple.network.EAPOLController not active
    Using Internet Connect I can see our wireless network, that is correctly identified as being encrypted with "WPA Enterprise" but after I entered user/password I got the following error:
    "WPA Authentication failed. There was an error trying to get authentication status: 6"
    I double checked username/password, mac address, base station configuration (Cisco AP-1131) and Radius server, are all ok (the other mac, with 10.3.9 joins our WPA network succesfully).
    I'm stuck here..

  • 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.

  • WPA Enterprise Question - Convince My School to Accept Macs on Wi-Fi!

    It's been a whole year since I've been able to use my MBP on my school's wifi. Currently, they are using WPA2 Personal (which I think gives you a good definition of the idiots I'm dealing with).
    I've just heard about WPA Enterprise and what is allows - which is great! But one question just to convince them:
    I understand every user has their own username/password for WPA Enterprise; so what security precautions can be taken in order to prevent students from sharing their username/password to those unauthorized?
    If someone can answer this question - I think I'll finally be able to convine my school's IT department to allow me (and so many others) on the network. Thanks!

    It's not trivial if you aren't already familiar with the various components of public-key infrastructures and implementing them.
    Here's the Wikipedia article on the subject: [Extensible Authentication Protocol|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExtensibleAuthenticationProtocol]
    There's lots of information out on the net about different methods of implementing WPA2 enterprise. It takes some planning, but the gist is that you can configure an environment where you issue certificates to machines to connect to the wireless LAN, and revoke them, if necessary. A unique certificate is provided to each machine and/or user.

  • WPA Enterprise Encryption, 802.1x

    Is anyone else disappointed that the iPhone doesn't support WPA Enterprise or 802.1x encryption? At my job we use it for encrypting our wireless traffic, so my iPhone is without wifi all day! Oh sadness. Maybe in a future software update. Anyone official at Apple care to respond? Its been in OSX since 10.3! I thought this thing was running OSX?! Maybe they forgot to upgrade before they pushed out the iPhone build to these sweet little puppies.
    macbook!   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Very disappointed. Please tell them so they fix it:

  • WPA enterprise on N9

    Hello,
    when I try to connect to my university network (WPA enterprise) with my N9, it asks me for a password for their certificate.
    It uses WPA2, TTLS PAP and a certificate. I installed the certificate chain and can view them in Settings -> Security -> Certificates.
    Do you have any idea what the password for the certificate is? My university says that there should not be any.
    I tried to select the certificate in Settings -> Security -> Certificates and to click on the bottom right button and then "Change password" but it just gives me "Keine" (none) in a small box at the top.
    Thanks in advance
    Ole
    PS: I just saw there is a Meego section, too, sorry.

    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.

    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 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

  • 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.
