Connecting to a WIFI needing username and password

[Raluca]

Good afternoon, 

I am trying to solve the exercises from the Wifi Fundamentals course. This requires connecting for a wifi, but as this work is for my Thesis, I have to connect to the University`s wifi eduroam. 

But to connect to eduroam, you should do it with your credientials, so each student have to use their username that is being given and a password that they also use for connecting to the University`s platform. 

My question is, how could I connect with my device to this wifi? What can I write in the terminal and also in the code to succesfully connect? 

I tried with using "eduroam" as SSID and for the PSK I tried the following formats: 

• "username: xxxxxx" "password: yyyyyyy" 
• "password: yyyyyyy" 
• "username: xxxxxx, password: yyyyyyy" 
• "{username: xxxxxx, password: yyyyyyy}" 
• "username=> xxxxxx" "password=> yyyyyyy"

I guess I just don`t know the format.

Thank you and have a productive day!

Hi, 

The format is decided by the application running your device. 

From your previous case, I see you are going through the Wi-Fi Fundamentals course. If you are using the wifi samples of https://academy.nordicsemi.com/, the command for connecting to a Wi-Fi network is

wifi_cred add "<your_network_SSID>" WPA2-PSK "<your_network_password>"

See https://academy.nordicsemi.com/courses/wi-fi-fundamentals/lessons/lesson-2-wifi-fundamentals/topic/lesson-2-exercise-2-2/

Hi, Amanda,

Thank you for your reply! I could connect to a wifi network that had WPA2-PSK, but my University`s wifi has EAP security. I was wondering if the nRF7002 supports EAP, and if yes, then could you please help me the command to do so? I have the SSID, which is "eduroam" but, to be able to connect, I need to insert my username and a password so, in this case, I am not sure which is the format. 

Kind regards, 

Raluca

Do you mean the Enterprise Security (EAP-TLS)? If so, nRF7002 doesn't support enterprise security yet.

Hey, Amanda! Is this what you mean? I searched for the Security type and Encryption of the wifi of the University and it is this one.

Hi Amanda,

Do you have idea when would nRF7002 support WPA Enterprise security?

Best Regards.
