Android device to a WPA2-Enterprise network

Hey I am trying to connect my Android device to a WPA2-Enterprise network.
I have exported my CA certificate and changed the extension to *.p12 so that android can import it.
I connected my work laptop and check on the wireless properties it shows the following:
Security Type: WPA2-Enterprise
Encryption type: AES
Authentication Method: Certificate
After I imported my certificate and click on the wireless connection it only provides me with a EAP method, which my laptop does not use because when I switch from certificate to "Microsoft: Protected EAP (PEAP)". Since I don't have password to connect to the WPA2-Enterprise 802.1x wireless, I would imagine it would be the same on my Android device "I tried my phone and tablet"..only using my windows credentials to connect for example domain\username and pw.
Any ideas?
Maybe I need to convert the certificate instead of changing the extension to *.p12?
I tried using Wifi Advanced Editor from the Market but no luck....has anyone run into this type of situation where you use certificates and no EAP?

[Q] How to connect to wifi 802.1x EAP ?

help me connect to eduroam pls
when i try to connect it says : "scanning ...."then "connecting ...." then "saved, secured with 802.1x"
Sensation XE
fw 3.25
rom : ARHD 6.2.1
ICS

same for me Sony
seems to be an android bug
-scanning-connecting-searching---- "disabled, secured with 802.1x eap"
this is my loop, and no connection at all

Same here :-(
iPhone users can connect fine to my company's 802.1x wifi network, but i can't from my android phones (SE Xperia X10 on Gingerbread & HTC Sensation on ICS)
A google search shows a lot of users having issue in connecting to 802.1x networks since Froyo (Android 2.2). There are worksrounds suggested, but they don't appear to work for me.
It seems the issue still exists in ICS as well :-(

Try LEAP WiFi free (it is in the market) or try to find one app for your comapny.
Leap WiFi works fine for me on IBM EAP APs.
Delete your old saved setting, before creating a new with Leap WiFi.

Must be a bug in CM9, I'm having the same issue. Thinking about going back to CM7

Finally, I've defeated my CiSCO EAP-FAST corporate wifi network and now all our Android devices are able to connect to it.
The walkaround I've performed in order to gain access to this kind of networks from an Android device are easiest that you can imagine.
I'am a BES, MDM and Lotus Administrator, and btw and iOS lover.
Many of my colleages are Android users, and their claim is always the same.
Why iOS and BB users are able to connect to the corporate wireless network by chosing only WPA2 Enterprise and only needs the network SSID and their Active Directory Credentials?
2 years has passed since I heard this claim from my colleagues for the first time , and until yesterday, all of them remained disconnected even when they had ICS on their devices.
This things made me think about the Android and iOS system differences, and the way the OS developer thinks.
A wireless chipSet is a wireless chipset, and it not depends of the OS installed in a mobile device to have a better compatibility.( not like servers or routers ).
When you setup a Corporate wifi network on iPhone, basically you command the system to use some protocols to connect to, included in the WPA2 Enterprise cabinet. the system check all of the until find the right one to connect.
Android doesn't have the same protocols defined in his WPA2 Enterprise system definitions, so if you try to connect to it by using the main Android interface, you will have an authentication error.
There's a Wifi Config Editor in the Google Play Store you can use to "activate" the secondary CISCO Protocols when you are setting up a EAP wifi connection.
It's name is Wifi Config Advanced Editor.
Firstable you have to setup your wireless network manually as seemful as you can to your "official" corporate wifi parameters.
Save it.
Go to the WCE and edit the parameters of the network you have created in the previous step.
There are 3 or 4 series of settings you should activate in order to force the Android device to use them as a way to connect (the main site I think you want to visit is Enterprise Configuration, but don't forget to check all the parameters to change them if needed.
As a suggestion, even if you have a WPA2 EAP-FAST Cipher, try LEAP in your setup.
It worked for me as a charm.
When you finished to edit the config, go to the main Android wifi controller, and force to connect to this network.
DO NOT Edit the network again with the Android wifi interface.
Tested on Samsung Galaxy 1, 2 and Note mobile devices and on a Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet.
Gingerbread, Honeycomb and ICS.
May the force be with you, my young Padawan
Regards

Try the "Leap WIFI free" app from Play Store
Try the "Leap WIFI free" app from Play Store. Its an app provided by a developer called "OneGuyInABasement".
I was having the same issue where I couldn't connect to the (802.1x EAP based) Wifi network at my workplace.
I configured the network through this app and now I can connect just fine.

Leap WIFI free not working with JB 4.2.1
I have tried using Leap WIFI free on my Asus TF700T running the latest OTA update to JB (4.2.1).
While the tool seems to create a network profile, it does not even connect.
Trying to connect to a wifi network that shows up as Cisco EAP-FAST when I connect via my windows laptop
I've tried creating the profile using the built in wifi config editor as well, unfortunately it defaults to PEAP and while it connects and gets an IP address I do not have actual network access (e.g. web browsing fails).
The wifi ACE tool has not been updated to support JB yet either.
Any other suggestions?

WIFI Problems

Hi guys,
Since the JB update I'm having massive problems with WPA2 wifi on both my TF101 and Desire. Wifi scans and finds the network, realises it is WPA2 encrypted and asks for the password, accepts the passwords and tries to connect however it is always unable and says something along the lines of 'saved, secured with wpa....'
Is there any solution because with a WIFI only tablet it limits what I can use it for lol
Thanks

Hi!
Every JB / CM10 ROM I have tested changes my TF MAC. The result, if you have MAC filtering enabled on your TF, is the same you are talking about: you detect your net, your password is ok, but your router won't give you an IP address as your MAC is not in the 'allowed list'.
Maybe you can check that to see if that's the problem.:good:

[Q] Connect to OpenVPN + pem certificate + tap device

I want to connect my android device (nexus 7 2013) to an openvpn server which is not administrated by me, meaning I have no access on the configuration.
On my windows7-pc, I do this with the windows version of openvpn, the provided settings file for the openvpn server and the also provided pem-certificate.
Since the server uses the tap device of openvpn, alternative clients like openvpn for android by arne schwabe[1] don't work (this app doesn't support tap).
Since I don't have a private key file (*.key), I cannot generate a p12-file[2] which could be imported by the official openvpn app[3].
The pem-fileformat is compatible to *.cer and *.crt, meaning, I can simply change the file extension to "convert" them. The crt-file can be imported by the android systems (security -> import), but this doesn't help openvpn as it seems to only use it's own certificates.
Any suggestions on how to achieve a successful connection?

i think if you have ICS_P740AV1.0.0B07 + you can't find open hot spot and if you can see you can't connect.
Try to make one hostop secured with wpa2 and try it.

Whoa, i only understand half of it
I have android 4.3 JSS15Q rooted with flo (?). I have superSU and Busybox installed. I followed the default instructions of the nexus root toolkit. My wifi is connected for sure, but it has blocked ports (which is the reason for all this). However, since I'm failing at an earlier stage, and, since it works from my pc from the same network with the same openvpn on the same ports I suppose the error is not in the network settings...
The wifi i'm connected to has wpa2+pkip etc. but I'm not sure how this is relevant...

rom
you have installed a custom rom?
you have try to enable and disable airplane mode?
you have data conenction?

I have stock android rooted. I only have wifi and the connection works perfectly, I tried rebooting the device, I consider this counts as "dis/enable airplane mode". I have good wifi signal strength.
I have no issues accessing websites over port 80/443, only the blocked ports don't work. The openvpn server is reachable on port 443 (it works from my pc).

Hello,
did you ever manage to solve this? I'm looking to configure my nexus 7 2013 to connect to an OpenVPN server using TAP and it doesn't seem to be working. I'm using OpenVPN settings with certificate-based authentification. I'm able to connect to my server, however I don't get a local IP address assigned and when I browse the internet, my IP is still showing up as from the original connection instead of the VPN endpoint. Computers with windows 7 can connect to the server no-problem and all their traffic is directed to the tunnel. Any ideas for guides and walkthroughs?
Thanks. Any help is very much appreciated.

802.1x EAP wifi issues

Hi Guys,
After upgrading to Oreo and the January security patch I encounter this issue where I couldn't connect to my company's Wifi, so after I deleted the profile I couldn't add it because now when I use 802.1x EAP it requires a certificate, when I choose none, it crashes the settings.
I tried exporting the certificate and adding it to the phone, but still doing it. I found from the Xiomi M1 forum they are having the same issue with the same version, and someone suggested using Wifi Manager from Kostya Vasilyev. It did let me add the hidden SSIDs, but it won't connect, I tried adding the profiles with the certificates, but nothing.
Any ideas?
