This mod take a couple of minutes to complete and allows for PEAP wifi connections. Requires root access and ADB knowledge.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ISSUES YOU CREATE WITH THIS. IT IS A ROUGH GUIDE AND WORKS FOR ME. DO AT OWN RISK.
Tutorial For Adding LEAP/PEAP Wifi
1. Open Command prompt window in Windows.
2. Go to your directory that you have Android SDK in.
3. Change directory to Tools. So for eg. C:\Android\Tools
4. Type in adb devices. You should see your device. If not install ADB driver. Google it.
5. Type in adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant .conf c:\wpa_supplicant.conf
6. This stores wpa_supplicant.conf on your C: drive.
7. Open file with wordpad.
8. Add the following to the files:
for PEAP add this code:
network={
ssid="Your SSID"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
identity="Your Username"
password="Your Password"
}
for LEAP use this:
network={
ssid="Your SSID"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
auth_alg=OPEN SHARED LEAP
eap=LEAP
identity="Your Identity"
password="Your Password"
}
9. Save the file.
10. Type push c:\wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant .conf
11. Now the important part. If you miss this your wifi will not work after reboot.
12. Type adb shell
13. Should get # prompt.
14. Type su.
15. Type cd /data/misc/wifi
16. Type chown 1010 wpa*
17. Type chgrp 1010 wpa*
18. Close command prompt window and enjoy LEAP/PEAP wifi.
What is the difference between the two?
A question that might help the unacknowledged
EAP and LANs
EAP originated with the dial-up PPP protocol in order to support protocols beyond PAP and CHAP. For use on packet networks, EAP Over LAN (EAPOL) was created. EAPOL added new message types and allowed an Ethernet header to be prefixed onto EAP messages so they could be transmitted via Ethernet. Following are various EAP methods used mostly in wireless networks, but also in wired networks. See 802.1X, WPA and 802.11i.
EAP-TLS (EAP-Transport Layer Security)
Uses the handshake protocol in TLS, not its encryption method. Client and server authenticate each other using digital certificates. Client generates a pre-master secret key by encrypting a random number with the server's public key and sends it to the server. Both client and server use the pre-master to generate the same secret key.
EAP-TTLS (EAP-Tunneled TLS)
Like EAP-TLS above except only the server has a certificate to authenticate itself to the client first. As in EAP-TLS, a secure connection (the "tunnel") is established with secret keys, but that connection is used to continue the authentication process by authenticating the client and possibly the server again using any EAP method or legacy method such as PAP and CHAP.
PEAP (Protected EAP)
Similar to EAP-TTLS above except it does not support legacy methods. It only moves EAP frames. Windows XP natively supports PEAP.
LEAP (Light EAP, Cisco LEAP)
From Cisco, first implementation of EAP and 802.1X for wireless networks. Uses preshared keys and MS-CHAP protocol to authenticate client and server to each other. Server generates and sends session key to access point. Client computes session key independently based on data received in the CHAP challenge.
EAP-FAST
(EAP-Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling)
Enhancement to LEAP from Cisco that provides an encrypted tunnel to distribute preshared keys known as "Protected Access Credential" (PAC) keys. PAC keys may be continuously refreshed to prevent dictionary attacks. EAP-FAST is defined in Cisco's Cisco Compatible Extensions (see CCX).
EAP-SIM (GSM Cellphones)
For GSM phones that switch between cellular and Wi-Fi networks, depending on which is in range. The Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) smart card in the GSM phone (see GSM) contains the secret key used for challenge/response authentication and deriving session keys for encryption.

thanks
Thanks for the help clarifying that for peoples.... its finally great to be able to use the WiFi at school... would be nice to implement it automatically, I can't write the code.... but if anyone would like too it would really add to the community....
Maybe I'm misunderstanding this but i know when i try to use LEAP at school, it already has options and what not for it on my phone, none of this is necessary for me
I know with my school which is (PEAP) you couldn't input a username just a password! so if you are having troubles connecting to a LEAP or PEAP connection this is a way to workaround and get it working. If you can already connect don't worry about it! this is for those who cant connect and get crappy data in class! haha
Does this work with MS-CHAP ? How do I define it?
Thanks!
MS-CHAP already works out of the box. At least I can connect at work with PEAP, MS-CHAPv2. Could be a CM 5 thing though.
Thanks for posting this! while it did not directly solve my problem, it made me redouble my efforts to get on my company's wlan with my N1. I have tried this many times over the years with various phones including UIQ3, WM6 and never got anywhere. I always assumed that there was some sort of certificate or windows domain stuff going on.
So this morning I did a wireshark trace and put my laptops drivers into debug logging to find out how my laptop connects.
A bit of googling for the stuff I found enabled me to get a working supplicant.conf on the third attempt and I am amazed!
Appear to be using WPA2 Enterprise with EAPOL LEAP with CCMP encryption on Cisco access points.
Here is the network part of my wpa_supplicant.conf in case it helps anyone:
network={
ssid="SSID"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X
auth_alg=SHARED LEAP
group=CCMP
eap=LEAP
identity="DOMAIN\User"
password="Password"
}

Doesn't work for me on stock rom.
What works for PEAP with MSCHAPv2 in my school is:
network={
ssid="<ssid>"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
eap=PEAP
identity="<userid>"
password="<password>"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
priority=2
}
(Previously posted on my blog at http://zitseng.com/archives/2729)
It works, Thanks!
There's a way of doing that without root access:
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1871
Step 16 17
when i type
16. Type chown 1010 wpa*
17. Type chgrp 1010 wpa*
i get the error:
"no such user '1010'"
"chgrp: not found"
what is it mean?
Is there anything I may have done wrong?

Doesn't work for me for some reason. Do you think having CM6 RC3 would make a difference? Not that I could see it doing so.
I've tried a few of the above suggestions but none work for me
The worst thing is it worked fine before I updated my Nexus One to FroYo!
my current settings for the uni are:
network={
ssid="UoN-secure"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X
eap=PEAP
identity="username"
password="password"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}
Any help would be appreciated
The problem I am having is that it will not keep the Phase 2 auth - MSCHAPV2 setting when I set it up. Every time I go back into the ssid settings (modify network) it has reverted back to "none". However the information above was pulled from the phone so it obviously is storing the MSCHAPV2 setting, just doesn't seem to be using it!
actually cm6 rc3 should have support for Leap/PEAP i have been using it for a while without this hack.... what type of connection are you trying to connect too?
Mark here.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.
Searched around here and elsewhere since last year & can't find a solution. (please don't copy whole message in reply)
Ideal solution either: 1. Able to store/save settings and password so it does not need to be entered every day (many times) or 2. Load certificate correctly.
I have a TMous HD2 running Energy ROM (Feb 2011 version)
Connects fine to home WiFi's without prompts. Also to about 10 others when traveling - no probs.
It does not connect easily to my work WiFi. I have worked out a method, but I need to re-enter settings and password many times a day. With high security p/w with various characters etc it's a real pain.
To do so, I have setup link to WLANSettings.exe on home screen. I use these settings: 1. Work (not internet), 2. WPA2/AES, 3. PEAP (not Smart card or cert). OK. Then asks for login, password (no domain needed). First time enter login etc it doesn't connect. Second time I've learned to hit OK again and after a few seconds it connects.
If I go though the 'normal' WiFi setup it asks for a Certificate. I enter the server for the cert, password as above and it will not find it. They gave me a cert file ('home grown' PEAP Authority certificate Thawte Premium Server CA) but it loads into Intermediate, not Personal and does not work. Apparently iPhone & iPad link to cert server and install it fine.
Tried:
1. I tried Odyssey (Odyssey Access Client for Windows MobileCE - Juniper Networks ). Helps, but not perfect, but it messes up my home connection. so uninstalled (updated ROM since then)
2. Tried programs to load cert. No go. (p12imprt, pfximprt; smartphoneaddcert). Various error messages - can't remember them - along the lines of not signed, not .pfx cert etc.
3. Exported cert. from PC's (WinXP) Firefox. Can't convert it to a .pfx to use the above.
Work does not support Win Mobile. So no support offered - though they've tried to help.
The settings for my mates Nokia which does work are:
PEAP and the fields are:
Personal certificate: not defined
Authority certificate: Thawte Premium Server CA User name in use: user defined User name: 'must leave blank'
Realm in use: user defined
Realm: 'must leave blank'
Allow PEAPv0: Yes
Allow PEAPv1: Yes
Allow PEAPv2: No
Under MSCHAPv2 within PEAP settings are
User name : your 'username'
Prompt password: no
Password: your 'password'
Have tried following also (rough notes):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\EAP\Extension\25.
"InvokePasswordDialog" and "InvokeUserNameDialog" value 1, switch to 0. Works till restart.
go to commMan/ menu/ settings set work & proxy or commMan/Conns/conns
changed to HKLM, gone to directory comm\EAP\extension\25. added a folder called validateservercert and added a key to this folder - DWORD. it asks me to edit the DWORD value - in value data i have added 00000000 and selected hexadecimal.
add the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\EAP\Extension\25] and [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\EAP\Extension\26]
Mmm... 'tis a difficult one.
>"Ideal solution either: 1. Able to store/save settings and password so it does not
>need to be entered every day (many times) or 2. Load certificate correctly."
Another alternative would be software to manage WiFi login - that saves passwords.
I tried Odyssey, but it messed up home connections. WiFi Monster does not do it.
Anything out there?

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
Hello All,
I have been searching for a solution to the below mentioned issue all over the net since last one month and finally referred to this forum by my vpn service provider 'cyberghostvpn'.
I am enclosing my config file (test.ovpn.txt), log file(log.txt) & sample password file for 'auth-user-pass' (pass.txt).
Following are the highlighted points regarding this issue :
While the same config file is working fine on my linux machine on android the same is stopping at the prompt "Enter Auth Username :". After entering username the connection sequence continues but the prompt "Enter Auth Password :" never comes like linux.
Hence my analysis is that the openvpn binary is unable to pass my the username-passowrd combination to my vpn server in the console input mode and an auth-failure control message is received shortly later terminating the connection.
If I pass the username-passord combination through the password file as 'auth-user-pass pass.txt' then also the same thing happens (an auth-failure control message is received terminating the connection).
In linux both of these methods are working successfully in establishing the connection proving that there is nothing wrong with cyberghostvpn.
One important point is though on android the openvpn binary is unable to read the config from the .ovpn file, it runs when the options are given as command line arguments as shown below and the enclosed log file is generated in this method.
# openvpn --client --ca ca.crt --cert my_user_name.crt --key my_user_name.key --remote ch.openvpn.cyberghostvpn.com 9081 ..........--tun-mtu 1500 --fragment 1300 --mssfix > log.txt
Anyone who can either help me resolving this issue or refer it to some expert developer on openvpn will be very much appreciated.
Kind regards,
kingsukm
My rooted Samsung Galaxy SCL couldn't connect to a WEP wifi network.
After analyzing traffic I found it was using SKA authentication instead of Open Authentication.
The line it uses in wpa_supplicant.conf is:
auth_alg=OPEN SHARED
If I change it to this it works:
auth_alg=OPEN
- 1. Is this normal? According to some manual "OPEN SHARED" should try both methods, but it looks it was only trying the later.
- 2. Shouldn't the interface ask me whether i want Open or Shared?
- 3. I know I shouldn't be using wep.
