WiFi Password

[Josh-Hogan]

Hi there does anyone know if it would be possible to set a WiFi password for the hosted ap I haven't been able to find it anywhere or even just hide the ssid would do? Thanks

You should be able to type the password into the box in the web gui and it should JustWork™ But, if it doesn't report back. It could be an issue with esp82xx.

I can confirm that setting a wifi password in ap mode does not work.

Bummer. You're right. I don't know why I diasbled it. It's been disabled both in the web GUI (Easy to override) and in commonservices.c:442. If someone could take a gander and try recompiling with both enabled and seeing if it works, it could just need to be "turned on"

I modified the web GUI to allow that field to be enabled. I attempted to modify commonservices.c, but didn't have much luck.

Unmodified:

    				#if 0 //We don't support encryption.
					config.ssid[c1l] = 0;  config.password[c2l] = 0;   config.authmode = 0;
					if( encr ) {
						int k;
						for( k = 0; enctypes[k]; k++ )
							if( strcmp( encr, enctypes[k] ) == 0 )
								config.authmode = k;
					}
    				#endif

After modification:

					//c1l and c2l are undefined
					//config.ssid[c1l] = 0;  config.password[c2l] = 0;   config.authmode = 0;
					if( encr ) {
						int k;
						for( k = 0; enctypes[k]; k++ )
							if( strcmp( encr, enctypes[k] ) == 0 )
								config.authmode = k;
					}

While this did compile, my ESP8266 did not connect to the wifi.
