Wifi security PEAP

I am a student at Saint Louis University and there are two types of wifi connections: a SLUguest and a SLUnet. SLUguest has no security, however, you must accept a private policy before gaining access to the internet. The problem is I cannot leave wifi on when doing this otherwise it will stop gaining access to the internet for emails and other apps until I open safari and click accept everytime I rejoin the network. The problem with SLUnet, the second wifi connection, is it uses a security protocol that I do not believe the iphone supports: PEAP. Can anyone help me with this problem, either figure out how to not click the accept button everytime connecting to SLUguest or enable a PEAP security type for the other connection?

PEAP requires another piece of software to allow you to authenticate, technically known as a supplicant. The iPhone doesn't have this (or at least it's not currently enabled), so we're out of luck for now. Many universities and businesses are using enterprise level wireless security and for some baffling reason none of those authentication or encryption protocols are available on the iPhone at this time. Best we can do for now is leave Apple feedback requesting that the iPhone work with enterprise level wireless networks:
