Hi
I was not sure not sure where to post this question exactly, but I need some thoughts on a issue at work. We have about 200+ android devices that need a VPN config loaded onto them.
Apple, as pointed out by an apple nazi fan, has an apple config utility that allows a config to be mailed to the clients and applied by opening the attachment. Which is exactly what I am looking for.
I searched around and from what I gathered some people recommend a custom ROM to writing a android app using the android vpn api (available from ICS). any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Hi Guys, i would like to know if someone is interested to work on a MANET running on android phones...
i have actual develop an specific Routing Protocol for Manets and simulated in Opnet and works well, i don't have to much skills on Java Programming or android software development and need help to develop the code for it...
basically the project is to run several android phone that will be able to use adhoc mode to create network and each node to be able repeat the signals to the next near node....
Regards
You may want to post code in C or C++ . No doubt someone would convert it into the proper Java android code. I suspect some of it would need to be wrapped anyway and that it's highly likely to require root access.
Finally
Finally someone working on Mobile Adhoc Network have acomplish a MANET protocol on android Phones, they have implemented an OLSR and BATMAN routing protocol..

Thank you serval for this implementation....
Hello,
I will preface this by an apology if I am putting this in the incorrect place, or this is a topic that is well covered; but I so far have not been able to get solid information on this.
From what I understand, ICS is going to include and/or support Cisco AnyConnect . However, that does not help the many users out there still using legacy Cisco VPN solution at our workplaces.
Specifically AnyConnect (at least on android, the only flavor I have had experience with) does not support Group Authentication, and neither do the default VPN clients included on Android.
So far I have had success on my Samsung Epic 4G running Froyo using VPNC to connect to my corporate network, but now I am shopping for a tablet. Likewise I have friends at work who want an android tablet but since they can't easily connect to work to do very basic things, they haven't bought.
I don't want to need root just to get a proper VPN connection up and running. For one thing that leaves me dependent upon a tun.ko being available for the tablet, not to mention just getting root in the first place isn't always easy as it was for the Kindle Fire or my Epic. And I certainly am not going to recommend that for my less technical friends.
So all that exposition out of the way, it comes down to this simple question - will ICS have a built in client that will support IPSEC group authentication , or will such client be available to install without root and needing to install modules?
Thanks for your patience if this is covered elsewhere, but most everything I have found in searches here (and elsewhere) for is based on AnyConnect and my company's VPN doesn't support that, and they aren't going to change that anytime soon.
I apologize - this should probably have been in the Question forum.
I would also like to know the answer to this to. my work uses group authentication and there is no apps or anything that will do this!
I am looking for this information as well. I certainly wish Google and Cisco could sit down and get this figured out. Apple did and the iPads at work can VPN in but not my Transformer Prime. I knew this before I purchased it, but went ahead with it hoping this would be added/fixed with ICS.
I havent had a chance to try it yet on my GN but you can now create "IPSec XAuth with PSK" (AKA Cisco VPN). If you have the GSM version of the GN you might run into problems though:

I have a VZW GN device which someone in that thread mentioned works. Since the key for my VPN is quite hard to type I'll try it tonight and post if it works tomorrow.
Good morning! I was wondering if anyone would know of any resources that contain info on the trusted root ca's (certificate authorities) for Android, BlackBerry, Symbian, and Windows mobile devices? I am working on a project that involves choosing a new SSL Certificate signer but I want to make sure that the one we choose is trusted on all of the devices. I appreciate any help! Info about iOS is readily available, but that doesnt appear to be the case for the other smartphone players.
Thanks!!

Me also want..to know
Please help

Bummer... must not be much out there in regards to this.
This may help for rooted Android devices. The others, I'm not so sure about. In the aftermath of the DigiNotar debacle several months ago, there were articles about removing their root CA from the CA database. If you have a rooted android phone (why else would you be here) you can rebuild the cacerts.bks database. Some instructions for Windows are here in this blog. The instructions are just for removing one but can be adapted for adding one and can certainly be adapted for running under Linux, if you're like me:
(The forum won't let me post links yet so you'll have to be creative here with cut and paste...)

The Guardian project also has a CACertMan tool that may do what you want on Android.

Blackberry, Symbian, and Windows, I suspect you are on your own there.
Hello All,
I originally posted this question in the Android general forum but I didn't get any traction so I'm posting here in the hopes of finding some folks in the community with ideas for this project. I work for a not-for-profit children's hospital. The idea is to create a patient entertainment system (think the LodgeNET style systems in hotel rooms) using less expensive and more open hardware/software. We've purchased a few Android based set top boxes such as the EnjoyTV (I'd post the link but it won't let me) and have managed to get them configured the way we want.
The situation we're struggling with now is managing 200+ of these boxes out in the field. I have a few ideas but no one here really with the Android experience to bounce them off of.
Some thoughts:
- We would like to be able to completely reset the device to 'factory' defaults when patients leave rather than worry about locking down the devices too much.
- We would need the defaults to be our configuration, specific applications installed and perhaps even some hospital branding involved.
- I know I can reconfigure the ADB daemon on the device to listen on the ethernet port as opposed to USB.
- In doing so there is no security but I can handle security in the network layer using ACLs etc.
- I should then be able to use remote ADB commands to reset the device which I can script but what will get reset? Will my cusotmizations/apps go away? Will I have to compile a custom ROM?
- Is there a better direction to go in entirely?
Any help or even just a jab in the right directly would be GREATLY appreciated, both by myself and the kids who will benefit while they're here.
Hi,
I think you need MDM solution.
Ideally you might want to get Device admin rights and then reset it from remote easily.
I am newer to Android development but would like to know how to communicate with my Windows 8 (7 or XP) environment over Adhoc from my Android phone. I have researched this topic and I generally see people refer to the play store to download an app. I don't just want the functionality, but I want to know how to do it myself. Whether if there is a specific library I can use through android development, or if their is some command line option I can use via Android to do this.
So, how would I go about browsing files on my Windows machine without using an app? I know the Android O/S (at least what I gathered from the articles I have read) does not support this. So what are developers doing in their apps to create this connection? Or what is the best book to buy to help me understand how to do this?
Thanks!
