Well after what seems like a year our networking team have got the Blackberry to connect to our internal WiFi network. They are using EAP-FAST so I have drafted up a nice document on how to set this up for user but wanted to know if there is way to push these settings to devices?

Anyone doing this? I see the ITP that does this but have some concerns about the domain credentials you use as the normal user accounts have a 90 day password so obviously we're trying to precent users wondering why their WiFi connection breaks.

Can you use the BesAdmin account? I'd think that wouldn't be kosher from a security perspective.

Just trying to guage our options on this.

I would imagine that they'd be prompted for their network login/password if you left those fields blank in the ITP. I could be wrong, though. The only problem I have (and an SDR has been submitted for this issue) is that the Wi-Fi connection set via ITP shows up WLAN Configuration 1 (or something like that), so the indicator on the device is typically unreadable from the homescreen.

Just to close this out for anyone else who looks into this:

I chatted with my RIM TAM and T-Support and the WLAN policies only apple if you use LEAP or PEAP.

we do something of the same here, but we have setup a wireless only account and denied access to all other files and services. We then push that username and password to the handhelds. We actually have two accounts so we can periodically change the passwords without dropping anyone.
