Wifi Access Point - Auth Mode
# helpc
crockedile
03/10/2025, 12:37 PMCurrently working on a project that involves using the the esp32 as a wifi access point with a captive portal. I have everything working at this point, but would like to be establishing an open network if possible, rather than one requiring a password:
"wifi.establish --name="espfi" --ssid="espfi" --password="password" --broadcast=true"
Per error codes, it seems the code above requires the "--password" argument. Is there a way around this? I tried --password=NULL, --password="" and even attempted --authmode="open" hoping it was undocumented. No luck.

03/10/2025, 1:55 PMthis is when I try running the code without the password argument:
ap := wifi.establish --name="espfi" --ssid="espfi" --broadcast=true
PS C:\Users\rob\Documents\localToit\digitalTemp> jag run -D jag.disabled captive.toit
Running 'captive.toit' on 'rounded-sale' ...
captive.toit:160:14: error: Argument mismatch for 'establish'
Some overloads allow arguments named '--channel', '--password'
ap := wifi.establish --name="espfi" --ssid="espfi" --broadcast=true
^~~~~~~~~
Compilation failed

03/10/2025, 2:07 PMOk. I will be back in a few minutes. Should be easy to fix

03/10/2025, 2:20 PMOk. I can reproduce.
Without password I get an "ESP_ERR_WIFI_PASSWORD".
Looking at the deeper layers now.

03/10/2025, 2:28 PMFrom what I can see it looks pretty easy.

03/27/2025, 3:07 PMdid this get pushed to a production version of Toit? could you share the argument to trigger it if so?

03/27/2025, 3:12 PMIf you don't provide a password (out maybe an empty one) it should now be an open network
