Nexus One WiFi Proxy - WPA Enterprise

---

First of all: Hello world
I am a new and proud owner of the Nexus One Everything is just fine BUT one thing. Maybe we can sort that out..

My college uses WPA Enterprise 802.1X (TTLS+PAP) with a root certificate. Thats not the problem Android 2.1 supports it
I am able to connect, Nimbuzz and Opera Mini work, BUT none of the standard apps (Browser, Mail, News, Weather...)
I know I have to use a HTTP proxy, and I kinda think the standard apps are too dumb to do so ... (Thank you google: Issue 1273)

Is there any way to get atleast the Mail to work? I dont really get why Nimbuzz works, but shouldnt something like K9-Mail work too?

I was so worried that WPA Enterprise might not work that I totally forgot about the proxy

My Nexus one is not rooted!

Thanks in advance

Breece

Ps.: And I really dont get why the cellphone doesnt simply use the Mobile connection if WiFi doesnt work -_- That would be atleast somewhat acceptable...

How did you manage to install a root certificate on the Nexus? Apparently it just supports .p12 files, not .cer.

In the case I just have the public key, there is no way to create a .p12 file out of it. I'm lost here.

Our wireless here at work doesn't require a certificate as far as I can tell, but my N1 (2.1 or 2.2) won't ever connect to it, shows it as WEP

In Linux, I have wpa_supplicant set as:

eap=TTLS
phase2="auth=PAP"

But it just doesn't work

You can use openSSL to convert between certificate formats, if you're on windows I believe easySSL (ezSSL?) which comes with openVPN is an easy way to obtain a binary version.

Same issue here, how to get cert?

My company wifi is
eap=TTLS
phase2="auth=PAP"
and requires certificates to install. I've been googling the last 5 days and still haven't found an answer yet. Any one know how to convert .cer to .p12 for androids?

how did u instal the root cert?

Have a look here for troubleshooting: searchnetworking.techtarget.com.au/articles/41635-How-to-fix-Android-Wi-Fi-problems

It should be possible to install certificates under Settings/Security and Location(dunno the exakt term,it's all in German on my phone), if it's on your SD Card.

If however it fails, try realmb.com/droidCert
I think it's pretty much the same thing though.

//edit: somehow, it's something different...I couldn't really figure out what this is all about, 'gonna read more stuff next couple of weeks...

If you got another format, you can use this website sslshopper.com/ssl-converter.html to convert your certificate. Or just google OpenSSL convert ...something like that.

I haven't tested it, so I can't say if it works in the end, but I might find out on Thursday...Or next semester because that's gonna be the last day for the next 10 weeks I'm gonna be at uni

Try the http/s thing out yourself, I can't post links, because I'm a new user-.-

Have you tried to use any of these tools for that?
It is indeed possible to encapsulate a public + private key within a .p12 (PKCS#12) format, but if you try to create a .p12 file out of a public only key (.cer file), it will keep asking you for the private key.

So, I have no clue on what to do next. Which private key should I use?? I don't have the private key, since it is another party certificate!! So asking for a private key in this case doesn't make sense at all.

AFAIK, PKCS#12 format is to encapsulate public + private keys only, and cannot hold a public only file. Or is this assumption wrong?

CyanogenMod supports WiFi proxy. It is one global setting (not per SSID).
