Cant connect to eduroam with Arduino Nano 33 IoT

[iS3cr3Ti]

Hello, I am currently using the WiFiNINA Library (Sketch "ConnectWithWPA2Enterprise.ino"). I saw that several other Universities got it done with the ESP32.

These Arguments are needed for the WLAN-Connection: status = WiFi.beginEnterprise(ssid, user, pass, identity, caCert);

But I dont get it working. I received the following login data from my university:

EAP-Method: TTLS or PEAP Outer Identity with eduroam as identity Certificate: Needed Inner Identity with MSCHAPv2 (Username and Password)

Is there a way to specify these settings directly? Or am I doing something wrong?

Hi @iS3cr3Ti. Thanks for your report.

Please provide a detailed description of the problem you are having, including the full and exact text of any associated error or warning messages.

Please open the Arduino Serial Monitor while the "ConnectWithWPA2Enterprise" and the share here the text that is printed.

The ConnectWithWPA2Enterprise Code:

/*
  This example connects to a WPA2 Enterprise WiFi network.
  Then it prints the MAC address of the WiFi module,
  the IP address obtained, and other network details.

    Serial.print("This is the Wanted Status: ");
    Serial.println(WL_CONNECTED);

    // wait 10 seconds for connection:
    delay(10000);
  }

The arduino_secrets.h:

#define SECRET_SSID "eduroam"
#define SECRET_IDENTITY "Outer Identity"
#define SECRET_USER "Inner Method Username"
#define SECRET_PASS "Password for the User"
#define SECRET_CERT "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n" \

"-----END CERTIFICATE-----"

Output of the Serial Monitor:

12:34:54.399 -> Attempting to connect to WPA SSID: eduroam
12:35:44.612 -> This is the Status: 1
12:35:44.612 -> This is the Idle Status: 0
12:35:44.612 -> This is the Wanted Status: 3
12:35:54.611 -> Attempting to connect to WPA SSID: eduroam
12:35:54.744 -> This is the Status: 6 (WRONG_PASSWORD)
12:35:54.744 -> This is the Idle Status: 0
12:35:54.744 -> This is the Wanted Status: 3
12:36:04.741 -> Attempting to connect to WPA SSID: eduroam
12:36:06.867 -> This is the Status: 4
12:36:06.867 -> This is the Idle Status: 0
12:36:06.867 -> This is the Wanted Status: 3

So this is the Code, which I am currently using. There is no Error Message or Warning Message. The Password is working, because I am using it with my Phone too. I just cant connect to the network.

On the related Issue #105, @facchinm m asked for the used Security Method. On my Computer there is "WPA/WPA2, EAP-TTLS, MSCHAPv2".

Should I provide more Informations or is there anything I can do?

Did you find a solution for this?
