WPA2 Enterprise

So I was comparing my friends iPhone to my TP2 showing him how much better the TP2 is

....until he was able to login to our company wifi network by setting the wifi network up using wpa2-enterprise.

I tried to do the same but there isnt an option for wpa2-enterprise. So my question is how do I enable wpa2 enterprise?

Settings -> Connections ->Wi-Fi -> Wireless Networks

Find the SSID, then press connect, a new window should pop up asking for the encryption method, select "WPA2", NOT the "WPA2-PSK".

Its a hidden SSID, but I know the name of it. When I add the SSID I cant connect, it just says unavailable.

Is it MAC-filtered? Also check with your network admin to find out what type of 802.11x authentication is used.

I think its PEAP-MS-CHAP v2

Ok, here's the deal with PEAP MS-CHAPV2. It uses cert-based TLS as the transport, and most sysadmins only use a self-signed cert on their servers and WinMob doesn't like that because it can't validate the cert authority, so you need to disable the "ValidateCert" option under the EAP settings. The reg key is found under:

HKLM\Comm\EAP\Extension\25\ValidateServerCert DWORD value=0000

Or, you can contact the network Engineer and ask for a copy of the cert and import it to your TP2. It's been my experience that WinMob will still fail and give error msgs when you first try to create the SSID setup, but it will hold the settings and let you connect eventually. It should prompt you for username/password/domain.
