We will be using NUS WLAN SSID “NUS” instead of “NUSOPEN”, as “NUS” is protected by PEAP and it is much faster.

*UPDATE 2* There is a bug in iOS4 which cause .mobileconfig files not recognized by Safari. For more details, read here. To overcome this issue:

  1. Using your computer, go to http://lesterchan.net/nus/iphone/
  2. Key in your NUSNET UserID and click Generate
  3. Your browser should prompt you to download the NUS.mobileconfig file
  4. Once you have downloaded the file, email the file to yourself
  5. Using Mail.app in your iOS, open up the the email which contains the NUS.mobileconfig attachement
  6. You should now be able to install the NUS.mobileconfig profile

*UPDATE* It is now working with iOS 3.0.

Instructions

  1. Launch Safari in your iPhone/iPod Touch
  2. Go to http://lesterchan.net/nus/iphone/
  3. Under Your NUSNET ID, key in your NUSNET UserID (EXCLUDING the domain (NUSSTU, NUSSTF or GUEST) portion)
  4. Click Generate
  5. A Install Profile screen will appear
  6. Click Install
  7. A Install Profile Warning Popup will appear
  8. Ignore the warning and click Install Now
  9. A Enter Password screen will appear
  10. Key in your NUSNET Password
  11. Click Next
  12. A Profile Installed screen will appear
  13. Click Done
  14. Go back to your Home Screen
  15. Go to Settings -> Wi-Fi
  16. Under Wi-Fi, select ON
  17. Under Choose a Network…, select NUS
  18. Wait a while, while it trys to connects
  19. A Certificate screen will appear
  20. Click Accept
  21. You are now connected to NUS WLAN SSID

Notes

  • At Step 18, you may need to re-try Step 14 to 17 if it takes more than 1 minute to connect.
  • At Step 20, you may need to re-try Step 14 to 20 if nothing happens when you click Accept.
  • If you are going to reference this tutorial anywhere, please credit it to me. I spent a lot of time on figuring out how to configure my iPhone 3G to connect to NUS Wireless network and I have put together this tutorial to make life easier for all NUS students.

Privacy

  • The generator DOES NOT save your NUSNET UserID on this server.
  • At Step 10, when asked to key in your password, it is iPhone authenticating with NUS and NOT with this server.
  • In short, you can rest assured that NONE of your information is saved on this server.

I am using S60 3rd edition Symbian OS 9.2 as an example. But in theory it should work with other editions of S60 Symbian OS as well.

We will be using NUS WLAN SSID “NUS” instead of “NUSOPEN”, as “NUS” is protected by PEAP.

Lets begin:
Part 1 – Defining NUS SSID

  1. Go to Menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > Access points
  2. Click on Options, then New access point
  3. Under Connection name, key in NUS
  4. Under Data bearer, select Wireless LAN
  5. Under WLAN netw. name, key in NUS
  6. Under Network status, leave it as Public
  7. Under WLAN netw. mode, leave it as Infrastructure
  8. Under WLAN security mode, select 802.1x
  9. Click on WLAN security settings, and you will get into a new page
  10. Under The WPA/WPA2 , leave it as EAP
  11. Click on EAP plugin-settings, and you will get into a new page
  12. Ensure ONLY EAP-PEAP is ENABLED (check mark will only appear beside EAP-PEAP). You can disable the remaining EAP types by going to Options > Disable
  13. Click on EAP-PEAP, and you will get into a new page

Part 2 – Configuring EAP-PEAP

  1. Under Personal certificate, leave it as Not defined
  2. Under Authority certificate, select Thawte Premium Server
  3. Under User name in use, select User defined
  4. Under User name, key in your NUSNET UserID (EXCLUDING the domain (NUSSTU, NUSSTF or GUEST) portion)
  5. Under Realm in use, select User defined
  6. Under Realm, leave it as BLANK
  7. Under Allow PEAPv0, select Yes
  8. Under Allow PEAPv1, select No
  9. Under Allow PEAPv2, select No
  10. Move to EAPs tab, by pressing your right arrow key

Part 3 – Configuring EAP-MSCHAPv2

  1. Ensure ONLY EAP-MSCHAPv2 is ENABLED (check mark will only appear beside EAP-MSCHAPv2). You can disable the remaining EAP types by going to Options > Disable
  2. Click on EAP-MSCHAPv2, and you will get into a new page
  3. Under User name, key in your NUSNET UserID (EXCLUDING the domain portion)
  4. Under Prompt password, select No
  5. Under Password, key in your NUSNET Password
  6. Click Back about 10 times or enough times to reach the standby screen

Part 4 – Scanning For NUS SSID

  1. Turn On your WLAN scanning and you should be able to detect and connect to NUS wireless network

No screenshots are included as I think it is pretty straightforward.
