Their network is designed to stop you connecting random devices to it. I suspect the fact they have gone to such lengths to prevent you doing so would result in at least a bollocking were you to succeed.

If you must press on, you will need to set your phone up to authenticate against the 802.1x server using the same credentials as the laptop uses. I don't know how to obtain them, sorry.

I guess - that implies you need a Smart Card of X509 type Certificate on your Iphones Safari Browser - issued by the clinetco - btw does your laptop have an X509 certifcate or smartcard from the clientco ?
