Hello,
I have a Samsung galaxy s3 which is currently rooted. I want to use it with apps under a 802.1x wifi connection. Although to use the network successful I need to go through 2 authentication methods before pages actually load.
Firstly, I connect to the wifi through settings, turn on advanced settings and manual proxy. I put in the proxy address and port. Now I successful have established a connection with the wifi. However, any apps I try will not work with the internet except the stock browser. When I open my browser and attempt to load a website, I receive the 2nd authentication form, where I fill in my username and password, which is different to the one I used firstly. Once I enter my details, I can freely use the browser and load webpages. However, if I try any apps even with the browser still open in background they will not work.
I would like to use android apps under proxy but they come up with the error 'could not establish a secure connection' and I have no option to fill in my account details.
Thank you in advance

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
I think the solution, and thus the hurdle to jump is to find an app that will allow you to authenticate via that app. It sounds like the second authentication is too proprietary for it to be baked into a ROM, even custom. If your proxy doesn't have an app (the I use for my subnet does), you may want to look at changing proxies for one that does.
At any rate, for any solution that doesn't occour to me (unless you have an S3 distributed by an American carrier - in that cause you can reply back here with that carrier and I can provide further instructions), please register for an account (so you can post in other forums), and add a post to the following thread (you can copy-and-paste what was asked here if you like):

Hope this helps, and good luck!

Hey guys, I have T-mo, and i use the 5.99 T-zone plan.
and since 7/18 I can't seem to connect to the internet anymore.
it says error 502 - Bad request.
does anyone know what's up?
thanks
so i'm the only one with this problem?
can someone tell me what could be wrong?
Are you using the proxy fix?
no.
It used to work without it.
Somewhere I read that there were still areas of the US that were still working with out it. I didn't figure it was true, but apparently it is if yours was working without it until now.
What you need to do is set up a new T-Mobile connection. If you use your internet over activesync for any reason you will need to have 2 different connections, 1 without the proxy (use this one over activesync) and 1 with the proxy (use this one over GPRS). Since you already have the one without the proxy, I would just leave that one as it is. To set up the one with the proxy, go to start-->settings-->connections tab-->connections and add a new modem connection. From there, on the first page that comes up change the My connections field to T-Mobile Data and change the select a modem field to cellular line (gprs) then click next. Now, in the access point name field put in wap.voicestream.com, click next and then finish. Now that you should be back to the connections main page, click manage existing connections under the new connection that you just made and then click the general tab and name it T-Mobile Proxy so you know which connection is which from now on. After that, click on the proxy settings tab and check the this network connects to the internet box and check this network uses a proxy.... In the proxy server field put in 216.155.165.50 and then click advanced. Tap the HTTP field and on the next page that comes up change the port to 8080. Click ok until you're back at the settings page again and then click the advanced tab. Click the Select Network button and change the top drop down menu to your new T-Mobile Proxy connection (actually, I usually change both drop down menu's in there to the T-M Proxy connection, but I don't use a VPN so it doesn't really matter). Click ok until your back to your today screen and you should be good to go from there.
Hope this helps. Sorry if you already knew how to add the proxy and everything but I figured even if you already knew how to do it there would probably be others out there that this would help that didn't know how.
Thanks, but after using the Proxy, I can finally get my emails.
but i can't use agile anymore. sigh..
I've never used agile, but if it gives you the option in the setting to choose what port you use, just change it to 8080. From what I've read, some messaging apps allow you to do that.
According to agiles faq page, that apparently isn't the case. It says that you can only use certain ports and 8080 isn't one of them.
so from now on, only 8080 port works?
I'm not sure what all port are closed as of recently. 8080 is open for sure though so I figured that would be the best place to start. If you go to the agile faq page it lists the ports that can be used for the various messengers and try changing the ports used and see what happens. From what I read on that page it does look like you have the option to change the ports, but it didn't say how to do it.
I have the AT&T Fuze with the stock ROM. I purchased it the first day it came out. I think this was 11/11/2008. I have the PDA Personal plan for unlimited data. I have things set up so that my contacts and email synch with our Exchange server. I can remote desktop from my Fuze using the data network to any machine that I can remote to from my computer, so from that, I am thinking VPN must be configured correctly. On one of these machines that I connect to, I have IIS running and put a very simple web page on it (no script, nothing IE specific). From my work computer, it loads fine. I can remote desktop from my Fuze to any machine on the network and launch IE and load it. But, I can't load it directly from my Fuze in either Opera or IE. It does initiate the VPN connection. But, then I get the error HTTP gateway timed out. I'm really not interested in viewing the page that I created. We use Perforce, which is source control system. It has a jobs portion, which we use to track bugs. There is a web interface to the jobs, which is on the intranet, not internet. I don't have rights to remote to the Perforce server, and that is why I initially tried putting a simple page on a machine that i am an admin on. I want to be able to click on a link in my email and have it load the bug in Opera. If I am home and turn on WiFi, and disable the data network, this works fine. This bypasses AT&T's machines, which makes me think there is something that AT&T is blocking. And if they are, then maybe it is the AT&T bloat this is telling them what it is. Our IT guy has verified that I am successfully VPNing in. He is seing the mycingular.net in the firewall.
My boss has the same phone, but purchased more recently, and his is working fine for this. He has flashed the new AT&T test ROM, and done the thing that keeps the AT&T bloat from getting installed.
The fact that remote desktop works, but browsing a webpage on the same machine does not, makes me think there is more to this than just network settings.
If anyone has the anwer to this, please share. If I find the answer, I will post it is well. I have extensively searched the forum for the answer to this, and have not found anything that worked. If I have missed something, I appologize.
Sort of works now, still have an issue
After going to the proxy tab, and checking that This network connects to the Internet and checking the check box that this network uses a porcy server to connect to the internet. Then specify the server. Then go to Advanced and change the HTTP port to 8080 instead of just 80. I also put the user id, password and Domain in on the proxy for HTTP.
But I get prompted for a user id and password from the proxy erveer. I have entered it and clicked the checkbox to save it. It does not display the same info that I entered the next time and it does not display what was entered on the HTTP proxy page. It is a drop down, and I can select the correct one. It's just annoying to need to. I'd like to clear this cache.
Also, to initially get it working I had to disable HSDPA and HSUPA, restart. Then reenable it. I have the registry on my Fuze which give me the menu option on the Advanced network tab to do this.
Figured out how to clear the cache issue - still prompts
The cache was a setting in Opera for passwords.
It still asks for the password. At least it is prefilled with the correct info, since I now only have the one entry, so it is just 1 click, but I should not need to do this step.
Any one know what I need to do to fix this.
If I try to load it in IE, it just tries but never succeeds and never asks for a password, just says Opening.
Connections
Why should I need to set this to connect to the Internet, and use the ISA server? I would think if it needs to connect to the internet, it should be able to just use the Media Net
My Media Net Settings are
Modem -
Name - Modem
Media Net - wap.cingular
Advanced shows the modem in the drop down list as Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
The drop down is disabled
Next
Access Point Nam - wap.cingular
Next
User name - [email protected]
don't know what the password is. I've never changed it.
Domain is blank
Next
TPC/IP
Use server - assigned IP address is selected
Use software compression and use IP header compression are checked.
Use slip is not checked and the checkbox is disabled
Servers
Use Servr Assigned addresses is selected
So DN,Alt DNS, WINS, and ALT WINS are disabled.
Proxy Settings
This network connects to the internet
This networks uses a proxy server to connect to the internet is not checked.
More info and additional question
Navigating to some intranet sites does not prompt me for the isa server.
such as http://machine/virtdir/Default.aspx
seems to work without being prompted
but
http://perforcemachine:8080/@md=d&cd=//&[email protected]//?ac=107&mx=25
prompts me for the password.
Also, in order to get either of these links to work, I need to have in my exceptions:
*.companyname.com/*
Where companyname is the actual companyname.
This is annoying because it makes it connect to the VPN when synching with the exchange server. Before I want on the quest to get these links to intranet sites to work, I synched with the exchange server without connecting to the VPN.
I've tried putting in isa.companyname.com in the exceptions, but that doesn't work.
Is there a way to do *.companyname.com/* except mail.companyname.com?
I suspect all of this is in the registry somewhere.
I need some assistance on setting up VPN access to my corporate network on my X 7510. I am technologically barely savvy. I am a business user of my X 7510.
Can someone please help me in configuring my device to access my corporate VPN?
The following describes my attempts to configure the VPN settings using the standard VPN configuration available on the device:
I am using the settings given by my network team. We are using a pre-shared key and no certificates. Our corporate VPN uses CISCO ASA 5520. When I setup the VPN there is an "Advanced" option that asks for certain server IP addresses. Our network team says that this need not be used.
I am trying to connect over a GPRS network. The most frustrating part is that the IT Manager uses an iPhone and he downloaded a VPN client for 9 dollars from the Apple Store and it works beautifully !!!
But I am not able to connect and I get an error message that says that there is a problem with my user name and password. The message asks me to turn off and turn on my device to see if that fixes my problem. But it does not.
I have triple checked all the setting details with our network team and all the data are correct. My network team can monitor connection attempts and they say that they are not even able to see any connection atempts from my device.
Can somone please help me?
I Think it depends on the rom you use. If that vpn package is there.
I also have a problem with my VPN on x7510. I think I get all the settings right because it says I am connected to my corporate network. Our network administrator from the network monitoring desk actually sees me connected. But I cannot access any application on the network, not even my company's intranet homepage.
Another irritating part is that when I fire up any application that requires internet access but not VPN - like Nimbuzz, the VPN starts to connect through GPRS - very annoying. So I have now set up the VPN to disallow internet access.
rsawoseyin
Can you please share how u have setup the VPN? I am not even able to connect.
Isn't there anybody else here who can assist?
My roms have vpn capabilities, if you go to connection at the bottom it has "set up vpn" (or something like that)
i know the wifi modem user id and password. i can open it. but when i open the advanced wifi security settings, there i am getting some dots in the password feild. there is no option to see the password. i want to know how to decode that password. please help me regarding this
Hello there!
As far as I know you can't really access the WiFi key in plain text without having a rooted device.
If your device is rooted then there are several free apps on the Play Store which will list your saved WiFi connections with plain text keyphrases.
Cheers.
Root: /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
I am asking to see it in the modem. Not in the mobile. When I open the advanced wifi settings in the modem confirmation settings, it is showing the dots in the text field. I want to know how to decode that password.
And also as you said, my mobile was rooted Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I tried all the wifi password applications to know the password of the connected wifi. But none of the applications didn't work.

OP, your Previous thread for the same question was closed for a reason.
wifi password
This too is closed for the same reason. You have been warned.
My Samsung Note8 SM-N950F/Android v. 9 can log to MS login Web site OK via 3/4G networks. And it can open other web sites on mu home WiFi Network.
But, when trying to login to MS over my home WiFi Network, login.live.com page indicates that the site is not accessible, asking to check if the login.live.com address is correct, with error message: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN . Idem with my second Note 8 phone. Connecting to my neighbour’s WiFi network: same issue with MS login.!
Tried with Chrome, Edge and Firefox browsers on same phone: idem. On MS support site found other users with Samsung Galaxy 8 S and Huawei P Smart phones report the same issue.
But my son's OnePlus 6T Android v. 10 phone can login to MS without any problem over my WiFi network. And no problem with my Win10 PC via WiFi either!!!
What is the reason? Android version 9 vs 10, WiFi configuration on the phone, or phone brand related issue??
Please Help!

Tap Network & internet And then Wi-Fi.
At the end of the list, tap Add network.
If needed, enter the network name (SSID) and other security details.
Tap Save. If needed, enter a password.
Check for problem apps
The problem can be from an app that you downloaded. To find out, restart your phone in safe mode.
Turn on safe mode. Learn how to turn on safe mode.
Try connecting to the Wi-Fi network again.
Open your phone’s Settings app.
Tap Network & internet And then Wi-Fi And then the network name.
See whether the Wi-Fi connection works in safe mode.
If the Wi-Fi connection works in safe mode
A downloaded app is most likely causing the issue.

Bruce
Hi Bruce,
Thank you for your advise. I already tried everything what you told me to, and it still does not work I tried this also on a brand new Note 8, without any additional apps installed. I can modify DNS1/2, but the SAVE button is greyed out, so the modification can not be registered !
Just had a chat with Samsung France technical support, asking them whether DNS change can or can not be done in their phones, and received the response that to modify DNS I should contact Google and not Samsung !!!
GOOD NEWS !
Searching Internet I found an excellent article concerning DNS modifications under different Android versions:
https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/03/26/make-android-use-dns-server-choice/
I followed it's recommendations for changes in My Note 8/Android 9 (pie) and MS connect worked flawlessly when I selected either Quad9 or Cloudflare Private DNS!
I found there was also another solution: from Google Store download and install DNSet application (others also available). After starting it overrides current DNS Setup and all performs perfectly.
However, preferred using the first solution for safety reasons.
Best regards,
Radivoj
