WPA Enterprise on HTC Touch 3G
Written by Vlad on December 10, 2008 – 11:29 amHTC Touch 3G supports WPA and WPA2 authentication. However, if you don’t have a certificate authority properly set up and you’re using PEAP (instead of personal certificates) for authentication, things tend to get messy. In order to make it work you need to:
- Hack into the registry (I use Dotfred’s Task Manager) and add a new key (making your device not check server certificate’s validity – which fails since it’s usually self-signed):
HKLM\Comm\EAP\Extension\25\ValidateServerCert = DWORD:00000000
- Add a new connection:
- Enter SSID (network name), connection type and SSID visibility
- Select WPA2 authentication and AES encryption
- Select EAP: PEAP – Do not bother trying to access the PEAP properties, you will be presented with an error: Cannot log on to the network. This network requires a personal certificate to positively identify you.
- Click Finish
- You will be prompted to login using an username, password and domain. If you’re having problem authenticating, leave the domain blank and rather put user@domain.tld in username to specify it
That’s about it, happy browsing!

Hi!
I’ve faced the problem to which the solution you describe applies, but i have not yet been able to connect using PEAP with my HTC touch 3g.
It always asks me about my password, although the password is correct. I’ve edited the registry and tried with domain blank and not. do youhave any clues or other help that can give me?
Thanks a lot and best regards,
john.

Hi, did you try leaving the domain blank and putting user@domain.tld in username field?
