Add PAP authentification support
Last modified: 2007-06-05 15:00:38 UTC
As already mentioned quite some time ago, the NetworkManager does not support PAP right now: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2006-April/msg00035.html Please add this as a feature.
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 }
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.
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").
This bug looks like a dup of bug #359369 - can someone confirm that?
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!
