Connect N900 to eduroam: I have tried everything...
Hello,
I've been trying for 3 days to connect to the eduroam WiFi of the University of Groningen with WPA EAP > TTLS > EAP PAP security, but still no success. It still aksk for a WEP key when I try to connect. It's not a bug reported anywhere, I have searched and searched. Please help me, maybe you can suggest smth that I haven't tried yet. Thank you! This is what i have tried: 1 ) I've copied a wpa_supplicant.conf into /etc/wpa_supplicant/ folder using gpe-file manager with root-acess (installed rootsh), I've installed the certificate they provide for linux platforms, available here http://www.rug.nl/rechten/faculteit/...nux_man_wpasup , but when I select to connect to eduroam over here, it still asks for the WEP key. Nooby thing to do, Maemo is not exactly Linux. Here is the wpa_supplicant.conf file they are using for Linux: ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=0 update_config=1 eapol_version=1 fast_reauth=1 network={ ssid="RuG-FN2" scan_ssid=0 mode=0 eapol_flags=3 id_str="rug" key_mgmt=IEEE8021X auth_alg=OPEN eap=TTLS identity="p<number>@staff.rug.nl" (or s<number>@student.rug.nl) anonymous_identity="anonymous" password="<password>" ca_cert="/etc/certs/ca.pem" phase2="auth=PAP" } RuG_FN2 and eduroam are the same thing. 2) After that, I've installed WLAN Tool to enable TTLS PAP and configured new connection through the New Connection Wizard available in Settings > Internet Connections. These are the settings I have used: Connection name: eduroam Connection type: WLAN SSID: eduroam Network is hidden [ ] Network mode: Infrastructure Security method: WPA with EAP EAP type: TTLS Select certificate: None EAP method: EAP PAP Username: s205****@student.rug.nl Password: ************ Prompt password at every login: [ ] Advanced:> EAP> Use manual user name: [x] Manual user name: anonymous Also tried Use manual user name: [x] Manual user name: anonymous@student.rug.nl ; anonymous@rug.nl; s205*****@student.rug.nl ; Also tried Use manual user name: [ ] Manual user name: _______________ Also, i have tried to connect directly to the saved connection through the dbus-send --print-reply --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd com.nokia.icd.connect string:"86ca9d79-120d-496f-9d42-e239e5c7f430" uint32:0 code, of course after I found the IAP with gconftool --all-dirs /system/osso/connectivity/IAP and it says Error com.nokia.icd.error.iap_not_available: Failed to establish requested IAP I am sure I've copied the IAP correctly, I have tried it many times. It's just like it doesn't detect the saved network in range, the phone detects a network with the same SSID (eduroam) but with WEP security. Furthermore, when I try to connect to any saved connections, through dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd com.nokia.icd.connect string:"[ANY]" uint32:0 , it says that "No saved connections available". I've asked the guy from IT Service and he said that the WEP layer is an extra-protection layer. Windows computers need extra-software to be able to access the network, Apple computers can be configured without any software and Linux needs the wpa_supplicant.conf which I listed above. I had previously installed Auto-Disconnect and WiFi Switcher, but I uninstalled both of them... Still not able to connect. I would try the following: reset the WLAN adapter (I am noob, so don't know what code to use in the X-Terminal, couldn't find it on the web). Also I have been trying to find a way to bypass the first WEP layer so the phone goes directly to the second WPA layer, but there are only methods to crack the WEP key of a WiFi connection. Useless, since there is no WEP key. WHAT IS INTERESTING is that I used gconftool -R /system/osso/connectivity/IAP to find the IAP and try again to connect directly. It displays the configuration details of the saved connection. And instead of "EAP_PAP_username" it displays "EAP_MSCHAPV2_username". This is truly strange. Again, in the settings wizard it is configured as WPA with EAP, TTLS, EAP PAP. I'm completely out of ideas... Please help me! Thank you! |

Come on, man, nobody wants to help... :(

Re: Connect N900 to eduroam: I have tried everything...
Hi,
I have eudoram here in Münster, too. I never had success. The official wifi of the university works, but bad. And eudoram doesn't work at all. It's so sad... Bye MPW |
Re: Connect N900 to eduroam: I have tried everything...
It seems to be different from university to university. I am using eduroam in Duisburg, Germany. All I had to do was to download the root ca certificate from Deutsche Telekom and inmport it with the certificate manager (PR 1.2 can import certificates).

Re: Connect N900 to eduroam: I have tried everything...
At least does anyone know how to configure an IAP directly from the X Terminal?... it might help...

Re: Connect N900 to eduroam: I have tried everything...
Here is what Renkon said, I don't see his post here:
Eduroam works. - You need PR1.2 and root access - get the PAP GUI (https://bugs.maemo.org/attachment.cg...34&action=view) - install .deb file from link above via a root (!!) prompt with: dpkg -i wlantool_0.0.4_armel.deb - now you will have the wlantool in your application launcher - start it - check the checkbox "Allow TTLS/PAP" and close wlantool - now setup manually a new wifi connection with Application Launcher -> Settings -> Connections -> New - Select "next" - Connection name could be "Eduroam" but it freely choosable - Select "next" - SSID is the Network ID of your wifi network (should be "eduroam") Network Mode is "infrastructure" Authentication Method is "WPA with EAP" - Select "next" - EAP-Type is TTLS - Select "next" - Certificate is usually not needed, but you need to make sure your certificate chain is complete. So if your university uses for example Telekom Root certificate it is included in PR1.2. If not, you have to install it (Download, click on it via File Manager) - EAP Method is "EAP PAP" (now available thanks to wlantool) - Select "next" - Username is ... actually your username given by your network admin, same goes for password - Select "next" - Select "advanced" (I'm on german maemo, it may be called "more" or something like that) - Select tab "EAP" - Check the upper checkbox there - Enter your outer anonymous identity in the textfield below (anonymous@your-university.edu for example) - Select "save" - try it Sorry if any descriptors are not exactly right. As I said, I'm on german maemo and translating this on the fly :) |
Re: Connect N900 to eduroam: I have tried everything...
I've tried the
rootsh dpkg -i wlantool_0.0.4_armel.deb command, it installs the WLAN tool, I configured the connection again, and I used gconftool -R /system/osso/connectivity/IAP ,which displays the configuration details of the saved connection. And instead of "EAP_PAP_username" it displays "EAP_MSCHAPV2_username". This is truly strange. Again, in the settings wizard it is configured as WPA with EAP, TTLS, EAP PAP. :( |
Re: Connect N900 to eduroam: I have tried everything...
Hi,
have you figured it out by any chance? I've been trying to connect to the RuG wifi network aswell, I have a Nokia 5800. I also followed the instructions offered by other universities for accessing eduroam but can't get it to work. When I type in "guest" as the WEP key it does seem like it is the correct key, however, still no connection, but i do get past the WEP window. Not sure on what to do. Please let me know if you figure it out. You seem to be a lot more Internet/cell phone savvy... thanks in advance |
Re: Connect N900 to eduroam: I have tried everything...
evelinevelin have you found any solution? I'm having the same problem as you... it keeps asking for the daim wep key... I have n900

Re: Connect N900 to eduroam: I have tried everything...
Eduroam is usually WPA with EAP encapsulation (or the other way around). So there should be no question for a WEP Key.
Be sure to follow all instructions shown in #6 (I've deleted those, because I did not fully read the OPs post...). Be sure to do this step!: - Enter your outer anonymous identity in the textfield below (anonymous@your-university.edu for example) This is important for working EAP access. Also you have to import your universitys keychain. E.g.: Your university has a certificate, this one is signed by Thawte (unlikely, but just an example). So you will have to import your university's certificate, Thawte would be predefined in the N900. If it were not, you'd have to import it as well. Then you have to check via the certificate manager, that the certificate is available for anything you can chose there (click on the certificate, usually on top). And don't do anything via the commandline, this should be working with wlantool out of the box. You may just mess things up there... |
Re: Connect N900 to eduroam: I have tried everything...
Hey Renkon.
Thanks for the info. Please tell us further: where could we find the universities keychain. What is the function of this keychain? And where could I import the certificates from? The university doesn't provide any. I checked this with the guy at computer support. |
Re: Connect N900 to eduroam: I have tried everything...
Okay, strange. If your university does not provide any certificates, they just use the plain radius server.
Then only try to use the anonymous@... part and post if it works / don't. This is called your "Anonymous outer identity" |
Re: Connect N900 to eduroam: I have tried everything...
Hi, it just happens that I am using eduroam on both of my devices, N800 and N900 and it works, all I had to do is follow our guide of settings for windows (yeah strange but the same values) and than download eduroam certificate, not sure if *der or *cer format, so far it works on two different universities.
|
Re: Connect N900 to eduroam: I have tried everything...
Can you please put your settings here? And a link to the certificates you use? Also please state which universities they worked at. Thank you!

Re: Connect N900 to eduroam: I have tried everything...
we have eduroam here in Leeds for Leeds University. They usually have another unprotected server where you have to login with your university user name and password. It's for those that have problem with certificates. Ask around for it.
|
Re: Connect N900 to eduroam: I have tried everything...
That won't help you, because the certificates are different for each university.
Basically it should be possible for me to log in at your university with my details from my university, because that's the "roam" part in "Eduroam". I will post a screenshot of my settings later. |
Re: Connect N900 to eduroam: I have tried everything...
My university eduroam work fine, but it was hard to make it work.
As say in a previous post you need wlan tool, check allow ttls/pap. after same as said with a minor change in my case: Application Launcher -> Settings -> Connections -> New - Select "next" - Connection name could be "Eduroam" but it freely choosable - Select "next" - SSID is the Network ID of your wifi network (should be "eduroam") Network Mode is "infrastructure" Authentication Method is "WPA with EAP" - Select "next" - EAP-Type is TTLS - Select "next" - Certificate is usually not needed, but you need to make sure your certificate chain is complete. So if your university uses for example Telekom Root certificate it is included in PR1.2. If not, you have to install it (Download, click on it via File Manager) - EAP Method is "EAP PAP" (now available thanks to wlantool) - Select "next" - Username is ... actually your username given by your network admin, same goes for password - Select "next" - Select "advanced" - Select tab "EAP" - Check the upper checkbox there - Enter your identity in the textfield below (login@your-university.edu for example) - Select "save" - try it |
Re: Connect N900 to eduroam: I have tried everything...
Hi, I was too lazy to upload it somwhere with thumbnails... so I made a set of screenshots of my settings, and my certificate, which is in other format than for pc... I had to request it from the network admin. And I was able to connect at other universities too TUKE and UPJS so far.

Re: Connect N900 to eduroam: I have tried everything...
Hi, i'm triying to set Eduroam in my N900 as well,
I have successfully installed PAP, configured, and connected to internet with eduroam. The problem is that i have to erase the connection every time i want to reconnect, if i try to reconnect a authentication error appears. If i erase the connection and configure it again then it connects without problems. but reconnection doesn't work. I have check also the osso/connectivity/IAP/cbaxxxx/gconf.xml and it list the password and username as MsChapv2 not as PAP, even that if i open the connection with the connection manager it shows it as PAP. I'm connecting to UAH (Madrid, Spain) Eduroam network |
Re: Connect N900 to eduroam: I have tried everything...

It seems that this due to the configuration they come up with. That is WEP + PAP... Do we have any chance for a fix, maybe in the stable CSSU? Would love to see it. It is so much more convient to sit next to an Iphone user and have internet. :p Any feedback would be highly appreciated. Thanks! |

My company uses a hidden network, so after putting the connection name in, if I choose to scan for network, I could not find the "hidden wifi". We have our own SSID: ducu234 I checked "network is hidden" right beneath Entered SSID And put in the "manual user name", such as: tom@intel.com (I have tried all kinds of combination of above settings.) everything else is the same as your post. But my N900 always want me to enter a WEP key, which I know for sure my company doesn't provide such thing. I tried 'guest', it didn't work. What should I do??? |
Re: Connect N900 to eduroam: I have tried everything...
Try this:
Network mode: infrastructure Security Method: WPA with EAP EAP type: TTLS Select Certificate: None EAP Method: EAP MSCHAPv2 |
