Thanks, you pointed me in the right direction!

Wish there was more documentation, but this source code should work.


Best regards,

The WZC user interface has a checkbox for doing the server certificate
validation. You haven't told us much of anything about this device, what
OS it's running, etc. My first attempt would be to figure out what effect
setting or clearing that checkbox has on the device registry, using the
old export-the-registry, change-the-setting,
export-the-registry-and-compare tactic. Or, you could read the source for
the WZC user interface in the NETUI folder (buried), under PUBLIC in your
Windows CE directory.

Hello,
Do any of you wireless / 802.1x experts know how to tell the CE EAP
supplicant, for example PEAP, not to validate the server certificate?

I'm using 802.1x with 802.11 (Zero Config service), and I have found the
registry keys and documentation for
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Comm/EAP/Extension/25/InvokeUserNameDialog etc.

I have also found the keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Comm/EAPOL/Config/[your_SSID]/Password , etc.

However, I can find no way to tell it not to validate the server
certificate. (A very bad security practice, I know, but one some
customers/consumers demand.)

(Also I'm not sure how the PEAP password is encoded, but I'm guessing
regular NT hash.)



Thanks for any pointers.

Best regards,

Erik
