Windows Mobile 6.1 Wi-Fi Support
timb
I have a HTC Touch Pro running Windows Mobile 6.1... My companies wireless
network requires wpa2-enterprise AES encryption and a certificate called
IPS-SERVIDORES... I can't really see where these are configurable in Windows
Mobile... are there updates/plug-ins etc that would get this to work ?

Hi, I have another similar problem. I have a samsung omnia sghi900 running
windows mobile 6.1.
I am trying to connect to the proxy server of my university's wireless
server. it also uses WPA2 and AES. Somehow, i enter my username and password
and access the intranet but when i want to access internet like hotmail it
displays an error in connection message, IE says the connection was lost.
opera browser says cannot locate remote server.
the guy in networking services said the problem was with htc too(both run
WM6.1. however, iphone works perfectly. he said the phone was not saving the
protocol/proxy. i noted that everytime i connect, it asks me for my user and
pass, which are supposed to be saved.
is there any additional info u need. is there any quick or soon fix for this
problem. thank u

Hello,
In WPA2 and AES are both supported in Windows Mobile 6.1. You can change
the encryption and method if you go into the settings of the WiFi connection
in Start>Settings>Connections>Wireless. You will NOT get this option if you
use TouchFLO.
As for the certificate, you should have the a .cer file that you can copy to
your device. Once it is on there, tap it and it will install. That should
be all you need.
You may want to reach out to your administrator as well as they be able to
help with any other configuration required.

As I replied earlier, I downloaded the certificate, but in testing I stll
CANNOT connect to my university's secured wireless network... perhaps the
problem is that WM 6.1 doesn't seem to support the WPA2-Enterprise (AES)
requirement... there must be some subtle difference between WPA2-Personal
(AES) and Enterprise because while the certificate is definitely installed
WM errors stating that I need a "personal certificate" installed and the IPS
Servidores installs as a root certificate...
This is really problematical... if there's no solution, I'll like be obliged
to drop WM and get a Blackberry or iPhone...
Again thanks... timb

Hello,
On your device you should see WPA2-PSK and WPA2 as the encryption options.
PSK is the personal and WPA2 only is the enterprise version. For my
corporate we use WPA2 enterprise and I can connect my Touch Pro with no
problem - after I got the certificate from IT.
This still sounds like a certificate issue to me. Have you checked the
university's IT department on it? What are they saying?

I downloaded the IPSCACLASEA1.crt file from
http://certs.ipsca.com/Support/SSLServerSupport.asp, renamed it to a .cer
file, and installed it. I was just able to connect to WVU.Encrypted on my HTC
Touch Pro.
