Description Roland Wolters 2006-08-30 20:10:42 UTC
As already mentioned quite some time ago, the NetworkManager does not support PAP right now:

Please add this as a feature.
Comment 1 Roland Wolters 2006-10-21 01:00:40 UTC
To give an example of a configuration I would like to have with wpa_supplicant: my university (which uses this authentication method) gives the following configuration as a working example:


ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1

network={
     ssid="802.1X"
     proto=WPA
     key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
     pairwise=TKIP
     group=TKIP
     eap=TTLS
     anonymous_identity="anonymous@university.de"
     identity="USERNAME@university.de"
     password="PASSWORD"
     ca_cert="/etc/cert/university-CAcert.pem"
     phase2="auth=PAP"
     priority=4
}
Comment 2 Daniel Schierbeck 2006-10-25 22:56:55 UTC
It would be great if this was resolved. The University of Copenhagen has recently moved to a wireless solution (EduRoam) that uses PAP, and I can only seem to connect with wpa_supplicant. 
Comment 3 Georg Müller 2007-01-26 18:05:23 UTC
I am also interested in this because our university uses it too.

I think bug #400605 is the same, there should be a Box in the WPA enterprise dialog to chose phase2 authentication (DEFAULT, pap, MSCHAPV2) or a textfield to specify the string for phase2 ("", "auth=pap", "auth=MSCHAPV2").
Comment 4 Roland Wolters 2007-03-04 00:32:26 UTC
This bug looks like a dup of bug #359369 - can someone confirm that?
Comment 5 Roland Wolters 2007-06-05 15:00:38 UTC
This bug is fixed: I can access the network with the NM/wpa_supplicant combination provided by Fedora 7:
$ rpm -q NetworkManager wpa_supplicant
NetworkManager-0.6.5-3.fc7
wpa_supplicant-0.5.7-3.fc7

Thanks very much!
