Support of WPA2 "Enterprise" (IEEE 802.1X/Radius)

#1 Post by zion2k » 25 Aug 2018, 01:10

Hello,
is there a way to connect to such a wlan? I have not found information about it.
Are there plans to support it?

Does this need extra parameters to connect? (e.g. username)
I don't know if it is supported by the core library.
And I cannot test it myself, since I don't have such a network.

Enterprise mode needs a lot more then a passphrase sadly.

Look at http://techgenix.com/deploying-wpa2-ent ... usinesses/
There you'll find this:
In addition to running a RADIUS server, the Enterprise mode also requires a more complex client configuration on the computers and Wi-Fi devices of the end-users. The Personal mode only requires entering a passphrase when prompted, and can usually be done by the end-users. But for the Enterprise mode you’ll likely need to install the server’s certificate authority (CA) certificate onto the clients (plus per-user certificates if using EAP-TLS) and then manually configure the wireless security and 802.1X authentication settings. It’s best for the IT or tech staff to initially setup and troubleshoot client configuration, or use a deployment utility to help.
Honestly I doubt that is supported with the core lib.
Can the small ESP8266 CPU handle it at all?

It's been done (for at least one flavor of WPA2 Enterprise) but it requires using the chip manufacturer's SDK.
