Hi,

eduroam (EDUcation ROAMing) is the roaming infrastructure used by the international research and education community (universities).

At least in Australia and AFAIK also in Europe.

Most sites use EAP-TTLS / PAP authentication (and it appears there are good technical reasons for it).

The current Symbian OS does not support it out of the box.
(or at least I couldn't find it on my E51)

Is there any solution (application, etc) able to supply this functionality ?

Cheers.

Not as far as I know. We have to hope that Nokia will support EAP-TTLS-PAP one day, but they do not seem to be in a hurry to do this. At present, the only solution is to get a Windows Mobile smartphone.

E71 has EAP-TTLS/CHAPv2, maybe this will do?

[e61drc]

No! If a university/network only uses EAP-TTLS-PAP then you need EAP-TTLS-PAP and Nokia does not support this.

e61drc: thanks, indeed, you are correct.

bife71: the e51 have mschapv2 (guess what ms stands for which require an active directory backend while pap may use practically anything (e.g. an ldap) ... this being a good technical reason why large organizations may prefer pap.

Well, from a company claiming "Connecting People" I am rather disapointed.

(further research turned out that this feature have been widely requested for at least 1.5 years)

Cheers.

still no news from nokia?

I'd like to know if there is some documentation available on how to program these plug-ins, maybe I could modify the code base of the mschapv2 plug-in to build my own pap plug-in, that can´t be very difficult

Thanks rurik, I've been followin that thread too, but as here, no (good) news.
I've been investigating a bit about implementing it myself, it doesn't look easy, there is no info on how these plugins work

I hate closed systems, Open Source Software FTW, I've should have waited for an android or bought the freerunner...

Nokia is sucking hard right now for me

"I hate closed systems, Open Source Software FTW, I've should have waited for an android or bought the freerunner..."

Well the N810 is supposedly Open Source ...

Guess what ?

Yep ... it doesn't have it either ...

Nokia ... Connecting People

The 810 is not a phone, I needed a phone

And, indeed, Nokia, connecting (some) people
