Hi - I'm using the WW101 examples with a Quicksilver board.  I can join a WiFi network by editing the SSID and PASSPHRASE entries in the wifi_config_dct.h file, but how do I join a network that requires username and password credentials?

Thanks,

Bill

I asked around this week and it appears that we provide the following demo within WICED to help with on-boarding: /43xxx_Wi-Fi/apps/demo/ble_wifi_introducer

I believe you are implying about the fact a QuickSilver board needs to connect to an enterprise grade AP which requires a user name and password for validation. You can check WICED Enterprise Security User Guide​, WICED Enterprise Security Demo​ for details about the procedure. On a very top level, you can use the join_ent command in test.console example to get started with.

He's looking for a means to automate the onboarding process as most consumer applications would need some form alternative certificate exchange that does not include a Radius server.

It can fail with sdk-6.2.1 without any additional fix.

Maybe some more fixes are required to get enterprise security work but I don't recall where to get the fixes.
