Hello. I have a question related to WAP enterprise on Android. Basically, my employer has detailed instructions on how to connect to the building wifi via BlackBerry or iphone but sadly not Android. I was wondering if there is a workaround or hack for this that would enable me to connect using either BB or iphone settings. I downloaded WiFi Advanced from the Market but I haven’t been able to figure out what to fill in what field ( I do see checkboxes for LEAP and WPA Enterprise mentioned below but no proxy field). Any tips using this app or another solution is appreciated! These are the settings I need to enter:
BlackBerry:
Setup Wifi Network: Office network name (appears as WPA Enterprise)
Select LEAP as security type
Enter username and password (which I have)
Connect to network
Manage connections , choose Enterprise Subtype as LEAP
Enter username and password (which I have)
Iphone:
Enter Wifi settings, tap Other
Enter network name, tap Security
Choose WPA Enterprise for security
Enter username and password (which I have)
Connect to network
Tap blue arrow next to network name and tap Auto under proxy
Enter proxy URL
So one uses LEAP and the other one asks me for a Proxy so I am not sure which one might work for my Samsung Galaxy S2 using Wifi Advanced app from the Market.
NOTE: I am able to create the network and it shows as connected but no internet access, its says WPA_EAP IEEE8021X below the name, but dont know how to take it from there in Wifi Advanced to complete the setup as per above .
Any help is appreciated!!!!!!
I have exactly the same problem. Any ideas?

This thread is pretty old, but I don't see any reply to this problem so I thought to share solution that worked for me.
As per your description "Garoto1973" your network connection didn't establish. It failed while authenticating. You may find below steps useful.
I was able to connect to my companies PEAP network by using following configurations. Please note that I am using adb to modify wifi settings so your phone should be rooted.
1- Connect your phone to your PC.
2- Pull wpa_supplicant.conf file to your machine for editing:
adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
3- Edit wpa_supplicant.conf file adding this configuration for your network:
network={
ssid="<YOUR_NETWORK_NAME>"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
auth_alg=OPEN
eap=PEAP
identity="<DOMAIN\IDENTITY>"
password="<YOUR_PASSWORD>"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
eapol_flags=2
}
Note that "eapol_flags=2" is very important or connection fails for me with error "W/wpa_supplicant(27862): EAPOL: Failed to set WEP key to the driver."
4- Replace wpa_supplicant.conf on your mobile with the modified file:
adb push wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi
5- Reassign user and group for wpa_supplicant file:
adb shell chown 1010 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
adb shell chgrp 1010 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
6- Restart wifi and it should connect
hello, not sure if it will help.
try to use aplication LEAP WIFI free from the market. With this app I am able to connect to my corporate network
Hi,
i am having a problem with the VPN IPSec settings: I cannot enter a FQDN in the VPN Server settings, the input field only accepts an IP address. Does anyone know where the config file is saved so i can try to edit it manually?
Hi all,
I am running CyanogenMOD 10.1 on my Samsung Galaxy SII i9100G.
To access all features of my university I have to connect to the university network with a VPN connection.
At first I installet the OpenVPN client for Android, which is working fine.
But now, since CyanogenMOD has a built in VPN client, I want to transfer my settings there. So I do not have to use additional software.
My problem is: I am not able to see through the configuration file. For OpenVPN I use a given configuration file and a certificate but I have no idea how to transfer the settings from that file to the CyanogenMOD VPN.
Has anyone here experiences with that? Or can help me with my problem?
I would really apprechiate some help here, because my search did not bring out any results on that...
Here is the content of the configuration file:
Code:
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote 123.456.789.0 1234
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.cer
cipher AES-256-CBC
verb 3
auth SHA1
auth-user-pass
inactive 600
route-method exe
route-delay 2
tls-remote vpnserver01
ns-cert-type server
Thank you!!
I was a bit confused about how to use OpenVPN on an Android device because there was so little information around. I thought I'd post this to make it easy for others. It turn out to be very simple. I have my Android phone (Note 2, Jellybean) rooted and Busybox installed, but neither is necessary.
The following steps relate to using an Android device with a commercial vpn service (like an anonymizing service among others), but this should help clarify in other situations too.
Step 1: download the OpenVPN config files from your vpn provider.
Step 2: download, install and start "OpenVPN for Android by Arne Schwabe" (O4A) (get it from any android app source, it's free, but donation to the author is optional and its a great app).
Step 3: on the "VPN Profiles" page of O4A, use the folder icon upper right to browse to the .ovpn config file for a server, select, and save it on the following page. The server name will appear on the Profiles page.
Note: Sometimes the server config files include a .p12 file which O4A will want to import, then require a password to decrypt...just uncheck that file (upper left) before saving; later O4A will ask for a password, just leave it blank and hit "OK", it will connect just fine (at least with my vpn provider).
Step 4: open the settings for the server you just imported (icon to the right of the server name), navigate to the "Basic" page, and enter your username and password at the bottom of the page (if your provider uses the u/p type connection). YOU ARE DONE (but, you will need to repeat this for each server you want to use).
Step 5: tap on the server name on the "Profiles" page, O4A will open the log file and you will see it going through the steps of the connection process in both the log and the notification bar . When it's finished successfully, you'll see "connected". You can check the connection in the log file. Also depending on your device the connection will show in the notification bar for as long as its connected. You can disconnect by tapping the notification.
The correct configuration settings for OpenVPN are usually included in the .ovpn file, so you likely won't need to change any config setting in O4A. However, you can add the line "auth-nocache" to the .ovpn file manually or add it on the O4A page "Advanced -> Custom Options". This will prevent the username/password from being cached if that's important to you.
NOTE: Using dnsleaktest.com I have noticed that google dsn servers appear sometimes as a dns server. This might represent a dns leak as there would seem to be no reason, for example, for a European located server to use a U.S. located google dns server. I'm not clear about why the google servers are showing up, maybe someone can verify/clarify.
However, you can force a dns server of your choosing by going to the "IP and DNS" page of the server config settings in O4A, and select "Override DNS Setting by Server". You can then use the default dns servers chosen by the author or enter your own.
Enjoy!

I'll try . . . . thanks
Thank you for the detailed instructions, but I think that apps like the Open VPN Connect and Totally Free VPN are more convenient. They are free and use the free servers.
How do we save battery? App drains a lot using all day
Has anyone successfully established a bridge mode VPN connection (using TAP) in any version of Jellybean, stock or custom?
It seems that every vpn app in the play store suggests that this can't be done in JB. I'd really like to upgrade to JB, but I really don't feel like reconfiguring my whole VPN setup, just to log on to my home server every once in awhile.
Hoping I'm wrong about this...

Yes all you need to do is search Open VPN Tun [short for tunnel and the name OpenVPN gives the setting] in the Android Play Store to find the Open VPN Settings app created by: Friedrich Schäuffelhut
[Found Here: Open VPN Settings]
When you run it it will run some checks and may ask you to download the following to install the ifconfig binary and the Open VPN binaries in to the system [ifconfig is installed as part of busybox so you maybe good may not but app checks and runs well].
Installer Link [which can also be run on it's own and also checks things and will tell you if you are good to go or if it needs to install things for you.
Open VPN Settings Installer
IF UNSURE USE /system/xbin for install location [first question] and accept defaults or the rest.
THIS WILL REQUIRE A ROOTED ANDROID DEVICE [due to it being a tunnel and not a tap interface you need root to set the connection up and make it usable within android the android VPN client itself only accepts TAP style interfaces due to possible security risks "casual" or "non-technical" users may not understand and thus to protect you from yourself it doesn't do TUN interfaces.
You can use either blah.ovpn OR blah.cfg [Windows servers use .ovpn as extension whereas Linux favors .cfg but both are the same text based profile file]. if I remember right just create /sdcard/openvpn/<whatever> [whatever is whatever directory name [if you want one] I use the client name that way all the keys and profiles are organized and not all jumbled in one folder [or if files have same name or different content then you will be forced to do this for something like multiple OpenVPN server profiles]. THE OpenVPN app tells you this if you open it and there is no /sdcard/openvpn folder found it says to create it in the middle of the main window area]
Also, it is easiest to edit your profiles so there is no absolute directory structure pointing to the files [the ca.crt, client.crt and client.key files].
This is very easy just remove all directories so the line ONLY has the filenames [See example profile in code box below].
Here to make this easy here is an example profile file I use [your server and port as well as if you choose to have it persist the IP addresses of clients across multiple connections may be different, up to you].
Code:
.
# Specify that this is a client
client
# Bridge device setting
dev tun
# Host name and port for the server (default port is 1194)
# note: replace with the correct values your server set up
remote some.domain.or.IP.address.here <whatever port you use here>
# Client does not need to bind to a specific local port
nobind
# Keep trying to resolve the host name of OpenVPN server.
## The windows GUI seems to dislike the following rule.
## You may need to comment it out.
## This MAY NOT be a good choice
## for most folks I use a private server
## without many clients so it doesn't
## affect me if they connect a bunch of times but any security systems
## may not like it if you connect too many times to quickly and you don't
## want your own server blocking your IP when you want to connect now do you :)
resolv-retry infinite
# Preserve state across restarts
persist-key
persist-tun
# SSL/TLS parameters - files created previously
ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key
# Specify same cipher as server
cipher <choose your cipher>
# [same as you set on your server don't make it different]
## Default here is usually BF-CBC if I remember right
# Use compression
## again make sure you enabled compression in the server profile or comment it out here
comp-lzo
# Log verbosity (to help if there are problems)
## I set it a little higher but not totally verbose
## I like a little info when there are problems
## to help fix them, up to you what you choose
## Can be different from server setting
verb 3
Hopefully this helps. I am unsure of your or anyone else who may like this posts technical skills so trying to be thorough. You could also use this profile to work backward filling in the same settings asked for in the server profile.
ONCE YOU GET THE profile on to the SDCARD and connect the first time the app will always bring it up and all you have to do is tap a checkbox to turn on the VPN Settings app and then once more to enable the profile you want [yes even if just one you have to check it, BUT, IF YOU uncheck the OpenVPN enable/disable checkbox at top the next time you enable it it will auto enable last used connection !
IT REALLY IS A VERY EASY TO USE AN NICE APP [AND ONLY ONE TO SUPPORT OPEN VPN TUN [TUNNEL] INTERFACE SETUPS!
