Has anyone managed to install an 802.11x certificate? - Desire General

Hello,
My uni requires use of a certificate (in cer, der or pem format) in order to use the wifi. I've done some google research but haven't been able to find a successful method of getting the certificate installed. Renaming the files to a .p12 and importing from sd card asks for a extraction password, which doesn't seem to be the certificate store password that you can set.
I was wondering if anyone had had any luck on 2.1 and had any tips...

I had the same issue. I tried to by-pass by using mschap in the configuration screen, and it worked.

I managed to install the certificate by using this neat little online tool:
Search for the Realmb droid cert online installer.
Edit: After being a reader of these forums for 2 years I don't seem to have enough privileges to post a useful link, crazy!
I can now see it in the certificate list when adding the network but the real test will be when I go into uni!

You need the certificate in PKCS#12 format. I don't know if renaming a X.509 certificate to .p12 will do the trick.
You need to copy the certificate to the SD card and then use "Install from SD card" in Settings -> Security.
The password it asks for when installing is the certificate pass-phrase and not the "Credential storage password".
I use a digital certificate and EAP-TLS for WiFi with no problems.

PCTimer.exe features ?

Hello,
My 9090 has been changed, and I reinstalled everything.
I get from time to time a message "Notification error" "Impossible to execute My Documents\Data\pCTimer.exe".
Has someone got this file, in the same folder or one else ?
Where should it come from, and what's the use ?
Thanks for your help.
Jean-Jacques
I really dont know what is that.. but sure you can try to backup and delete the file from Windows\Startup
The fact is I miss this file, there is no data folder in My Documents :shock:
Anyone who has got the file PCTimer.exe, how did you ?
Feel free to send a link or any info.
Jean-Jacques
Did a hardboot and reinstalled.
Data folder dtill missing, but no more warning. 8)

Some program was at some time installed into your "My Documents\Data" directory, and added itself to your notification database. You've since removed the application, but the removal didn't get rid of the database entry, which is why you were getting this error.
You could have gotten a utility like Anoton Tomov's Pocket Mechanic (Look at http://www.antontomov.com), which would allow you to look at all the entries in the Notification database and even remove the offending entry.
This would have saved you hard resetting your device.
I've had a similar problem with eWallet 4.0 installed on my SD card, where I'd get an error like that if my XDA shut off before I closed eWallet.

Any way to add SD Encryption *back* into a ROM that had removed it?

Hi All,
I recently installed the latest MightyROM (2-10-10) but now cannot get my Exchange OTA ActiveSync working for my corporate e-mail.
Did some digging, and figured out that the issue is that my corporate Exchange security policy requires both devce and SD card encryption on any devices connecting to OTA ActiveSync.
Further searching revealed that SD card encryption was *removed* from MightyROM starting a few versions back.
I know for sure that my device is missing both encfilt.dll and mencfilt.dll which seem to be required for SD card encryption (the details of which I'm not familiar with).
So the question is: Is there any way at all for me to add SD card encryption back to the ROM, preferably without having to re-flash?
Can I somehow get copies of encfilt.dll and mencfilt.dll and register them on the device?
Any ideas / CABs that might help is greatly appreciated!!
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,

regsrvceGUI.exe I believe is what you can use to register the .dll files. I however can not get it to copy out of the windows directory...
I did find this reg key and you can try to set it and see if it flies... Remember to do a backup and all that stuff. (I'm not 100% it applies to the SD card or not). And I do not know if you need those two files for it to work so use at your own risk.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\E NCFilt]
'EncryptByDefault'=dword:1 (change from 0 to 1)
Soft reset
I will keep trying to figure out how to remove this file from my device so I can share it with you.
If that doesn't fly, then maybe you need to go back to an earlier rom. ???
Thanks! (for your response here and on PPCgeeks
That reg tweak you posted makes the UI appear like SD encryption is enabled, but it's not actually running (as key files are missing).
You're right, I may have to downgrade my ROM, but hoping there's an easier solution!
Which ROM version are you using?
Thanks.
BTW, when I try to sync without SD Card encryption, I get the 85010013 error code in activesync, which is pretty generic -- not sure if this info helps.
Hoping someone can chime in with more ideas.
I just found this post and was wondering if you solved your problem? I'm getting the same errors but I can't find out how to encrypt the entire handset just the SD card.

Htc Desire & network certificates ..

For wi-fi ..
My university wi-fi network uses "Enterprise" security and this is employed by installing a .p12 file (wich is esentially a packed file with a user certificate, root certificate, and private key) generated by the sys-admin.
When going in Security and you go to install the certificate from the file on the sd card, everything went smooth for the first time. It connected to the network, got some speed tests working, everything was ok.
After 1 day, I came back and tried to acces the wi-fi again. The wi-fi manager and the setting dialogue said just : "disconnected" .. connecting to the network ..and then "disconnected". No, the wi-fi network is just as it was when it worked, talked to the admins they did not change/update/modify anything. My MAC was entered
I deleted the whole credential thing, reset passwords , reinstalled .p12 files, to no use. It just will not connect again to the same network.
At home works fine, I enable wi-fi, detects my network and connects just fine.
And another weird thing: when you clear the credential manager, to uninstall the .p12 file it does not spit back on the sd card the .p12 file. When I installed it, the file vanished from the SD card, but when I reset the credentials it was lost for good... Kinda dumb ...
And if your wi-fi admins issue you with some .cer or .der files, they are ok, you just need a linux machine with "openssl" command to extract, combine & so on and then create the .p12 file that the HTC Desire understands. If you google .pam to .p12 or .der to .p12 or .cer to .p12 you will get through (eventually, and with less brain cells !!!!! ).
And the question is:
any idea what happened ? Is there any way to somehow deeper-reset the wi-fi connection certificates ? (don't want to reset my phone)
I tried installing certificates from another user, same error... I used the Root certificate from another user, the client certificate from me.. all kinds of combinations ... nothing .. "disconnected"..
nobody ?! :|
oh come on ...
I'm guessing nobody knows the answer =\
Your best bet would be HTC's support.

[Q] How do I install certificates?

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to a L2TP/IPSEC CRT VPN. I have the certificate in pfx format in my sdcard root directory(renamed to p12) but I've no clue how to install it to my phone.
Does anyone know?
Edit: I tried to install the certificate in .cer format using the Android certificate installer, but it only installed the CA certificate and not the user certificate. Under Add L2TP/IPSec CRT VPN dialog I'm still unable to set the user certificate.
TIA.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cisco.anyconnect.vpn.android.rooted
Hi,
I figured it out - it's in menu->settings->security->install from sd card. Just connected to a L2TP/IPSec CRT VPN using the Android VPN settings. Why would one need Cisco's Anyconnect or any other VPN client if there's integrated VPN support in Android?
Help please!

Here is the same but the problem has been reversed! I've installed user certificate and set it but don't know how I can create CA certificate and install it. Please help!
Thanks.
P.S: My certification file extension is .crt not .cer.
What do certificates do?

Certificates are usually used for authentication purposes.

Many Enterprise systems using Cisco require Cisco's software to connect (namely because Cisco made it that way so that they could make more money).

AFAIK, Cisco's AnyConnect doesn't support IPSec, but uses SSL instead.

Explorer of Isolated storage

Hi,
Exist some Explorer of Isolated storage thats run without Zune or
Windows developers tools ?
Thanks for advice.
hi
you use a htc device, so you can install the htc root webserver xap.
read this post and try it. it's really simple to use.
you will have access to isolated storage, too.

Nice looking app, but If I can't connect to wifi how to connect to ISOLATED storage ? Works it also if I connect my device via microUSB cable to PC ?
Thanks.
hi
no at that time, it works only via wlan. you can put in the usb-cabel and a ip is showing up, but you can't connect to this ip.
steps to do:
open the webserver app on your device
in the app change the password in one of yours
connect to the showing ip adress in browser on your computer
type in username and password
have fun, the rest is self explanatory!

ok, if I cant connect to wifi the web server is for me
useless solution.
But I found out something else watch this: I got HD2
my microSD card is 8GB. There are 2 partition one is something 7.5 GB
and second this is important is FAT16 200MB.
I installed new FileBrowser and in this app I can see folder Storage Card
and I am able to copy files on this FAT16 partition without problem
and I can read it in card reader and oposite if I copy something in card reader
to FAT16 I can copy it from this "Storage Card" folder in device File Browser and copy it to device.
Shame that It works only on devices with Storage card.
Thats why I love my HD2, Igot WP 7.5 and microSD slot
