Is it possible to give someone a single username & password that the person can use to login via WPA2-Enterprise from any type of device? (Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, Linux, etc?)
Sure. As long as: - the device supports WPA2-enterprise or 802.1x (which usually means it needs to support at least one of PEAP-MSCHAPv2, PEAP-GTC, or EAP-TTLS) - you can store the password in a compatible format (e.g. as plain-text or NT-hash on db, for simplicity)
I would prefer to not have to distribute certs either, and it's OK if the user has to accept a self-signed cert on first connect for each device.
That would reduce the security level, but if you REALLY know what you're doing, it should work.
I've been googling this and can't seem to find any discussion that has a single cookbook cross-platform example, so I'm thinking it might not be?
For example, my Android device just asks for an EAP password, and not a username/password like Windows does.
Android seems to do that :P Try http://blog.doodlejiggy.com/2011/02/25/connecting-android-to-802-1x-wi-fi/ iOS devices shouldn't have that problem though. -- Fajar
