Disable Username and Password

Post by Yong Liang Tan » Tue Feb 07, 2023 7:38 am

Hi All



How do I disable the user of username and password for authentication as our mobile device is running on Android 13 and unable to setup with the username and password


May I know how to disable the use of username and password, will it work if only pre-shared key or any other option available for mobile device running android 13



Thanks

Authentication method of the user
Values:
0: Anonymous authentication
1: Password authentication
2: User certificate authentication
3: Root certificate which is issued by trusted Certificate Authority
4: Radius authentication
5: Windows NT authentication

You can try "0" for authentication but I think not all clients accept empty username and password fields (e.g. OpenVPN)

I have tested (Android)
- OpenVPN needs user and pass
- L2TP needs user and pass
- WireGuard just you use file.conf and ready to go (does not need user and pass)

I have not tested (Windows)
- SE client, I think you can use it without user and pass.
