For security, iOS doesn't trust *any* certificate. All 802.1X clients should behave this way. But Android doesn't, likely for ease of use. Which means it's relatively easy to do nothing, and have your credentials go to a random server.
Hmm, I was at a coworking space some time ago and they had an EAP/PEAP secured network there. Just out of curiosity I tried to log in with my macbook (latest mac os) and to my surprise I did *not* get a certificate warning. I concluded that for probably a bit more money you could get certificates that are accepted by default by supplicants, but I didn't check further. Could this be so?
I've never heard of that. I doubt that OSX works that way.
What perhaps happened is that the cert was from a CA you already trusted?
I do have my own CAs on trust, but I am certain that this network wasn't run by me and they didn't use any of my certificates. Unfortunately I don't have the certificate handy right now, so I cannot say anything else about this at this time. When I get a chance to go to that colab space again I'll check it. HC
