I have OpenSensation ICS and I have a connection to the WiFi at Uni.
the WiFi uses a thawte certificate file to secure the connection along with a username and password. when I installed the certificate file, ICS forced me to enable the lockscreen and only allows password, pin or pattern locks.
I was just wondering if there is any way around this - it is not required to have a lock on ICS (or obviously OSX/windows).
Any thoughts?
No thoughts on this one from anyone?
would like to know too since I use VPN

Added a couple of trusted certificates (user credentials ) to be able to connect to the company's wifi.
At this point, option for none screen lock is disabled.
Can i overcome this? any app?
Is this default on Android 4?
Did not have this problem with Android 2.3 (Desire)
When we connect to an 802.1x EAP wireless network, our sensation force us to set a password or another security option. Is there a way to disable this annoying feature??
The password is a requirement of the network. It is not in the control of the connecting device, since this requirement is enforced by the network.
I connect to my Uni wi-fi in the same way.
Besides, after the first config, it never asks for the password again.
Hope this helps
No my problem is different, it's normal that a network requires a password, but it isn't normal that after the connection and also when not connected the phone forces me to set a pattern, pin or password in the lockscreen. It si due to a certificate, but I don't know how to disable this feature. It's the same on any android device, but for example in the iphone it doesn't exist (don't know on windows phone)
I had that a while ago, but not since rooted and using latest ICS ROM from HTC (ARHD)
I tried every kind of rom, CM9, miui, arhd, ordroid ecc. and the problem is still here...
I created a VPN connection on my S3 but was forced to enter a PIN or a swipe pattern but now I am tired of having to unlock my phone everytime I wanna access it . I have put the auto lock to the max which is 30 mins but I still don't want my phone to be locked.
Is there a way to completely cancel any security / pin / pattern lock while keeping my VPN connection?
anybody home?
As far as I have read, no. There may be someone else to chime in with an app that bypasses it.
I wouldn't recommend it though, as part of the VPN your phone is "directly" connected to the computers and servers of the network you are connecting to. If it is a corporate network and someone who knows what they are doing should happen to find your phone, things could get ugly. The chances of that happening are slim, but enough to warrant the required lock.
Hi, I just got my Nexus 5 yesterday and everyone is fine until I install a certificate that is required to connect to my University's wireless network.
The installation is fine, but after that I got a warning saying network may be monitored. I know I can get rid of it temporarily by swipe it away, but is there any way to disable this warning permanently? (see the attachment if my wording is confusing)
I am seeing this same thing in relation to the use of my own personal certificates. The issue stems from the use of private CA cert which I use for my local lan and vpn. Google has decided to enable CA certificate pinning as a security measure I guess hopefully there is a way to disable this.
I use a school WiFi network that requires me to install certificates and since 4.3 that meant I had to have lock screen security set up (pin, password, pattern.) This is pretty darn annoying especially since android's pin security does not automatically unlock (have to press enter)
Is there a way I can override this? Perhaps a mod?
