Some update :
I obtained my certificate for EAP-TLS today and I tried it on my Ubuntu Jaunty laptop (using Wicd instead of Network Manager) and it didn't work. LEAP-WPA2 worked fine on the same laptop though.

Then I also tried the EAP-TLS credentials/certificate on the N900 and it didn't work.

So it seems I'm back to square one

Anyone having an idea to investigate this further ? On the laptop I checked the wicd.log file but no useful info in there.

On the N900 I don't know how to get more detailed debug info out of it for this problem ...

Looking through bugzilla I've found these things on EAP-TLS :

Looking at this bug at least the EAP-TLS should work, but not in the most user friendly way : https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1574

Funny enough I've found another bug saying EAP-TLS doesn't work but that might be a different root cause : https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7006

Then we have this one, the EAP-TTLS-PAP bug (Eduroam) https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1635
Again not connected I think as it's talking about TTLS and not TLS.

Did anyone run EAP-TLS successfully on a N900 either in or outside IBM ?

To my IBM colleagues, what's the issue with a previous remark made, the possibility that one internal account can only be assigned to one authentication method ? Is that a real restriction internally with us ? LEAP-WPA2 or EAP-TLS ?

Cheers,
Geert

Edit : For the IBM people, I also chipped in on an IBM OCDC forum thread on EAP-TLS. Maybe someone has some ideas there : http://ibmforums.ibm.com/forums/thre...rt=15&tstart=0
