I cant connect with an AP using WPS when the security setting is WEP, WPA-AES or WPA2-TKIP.

Is this by design for WPS or is it a bug?

The WICED WPS enrollee supports the WPS1 & WPS2 standard, WEP is not supported by the WPS2 specification.

The other two modes are not tested for WPS2 certification so WICED has not specifically supported them previously.

We can recreate the issue here and from the console log it appears to be that the credentials are either parsed as WPA2 when the cipher is AES and as WPA when the cipher is TKIP, or the AP is putting the wrong information in the credentials. Either way WICED cant join because the security type is incorrect. We will investigate this with a view to addressing this issue in a future SDK release.
