[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1060907] Re: NetworkManager stores wifi passwords in plain text
It may look as this is an implementation problem rather than a problem with Network Manager itself. Though I still believe that even allowing passwords to be stored as text is a security flaw, it is possible to configure NM so that it does not store passwords in text files. I have tried KDE and had no problem saving the password in the Kwallet. I wonder why Unity is not configured like KDE. Is the problem with nm-connection-editor, NetworkManager or somewhere else entirely?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1060907] Re: NetworkManager stores wifi passwords in plain text
The problems I have identified so far: 1. If you have the rights org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.own you will not be able to make a connection by selecting available networks. 2. The option Available to all users seems to be implied when you select a connection from available networks. 3. When you give them org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system I see no way of enforcing Ask for this password every time 4. Even when you make a connection that is not available to all users it still stores the password as text in /etc/NM... and only add the user name that is allowed to use the connection. What we need is the possibility to create a connection by selecting it from the list of available networks (eduroam) and have it so that the password for each user is stored in the users wallet or keyring. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1060907 Title: NetworkManager stores wifi passwords in plain text Status in NetworkManager: Incomplete Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/some-wireless-profile contains plain text passwords.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1060907] Re: NetworkManager stores wifi passwords in plain text
That may work - IF you create a connection from scratch. People mostly does not do this and I am not going to require my users to learn how to do this either. The normal way of connecting with wireless is to select a connection from the list. If this is a secure connection the user is required to provide a password. There are no options Available to all users in that dialog and if you do not have rights in org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system you will not be able to create that connection. And the behaviour you describe is also not what I experience. I created a wireless connection and removed Available to all user. NM still stores the password in /etc. IT just adds another option which tells who can user it: [connection] id=test uuid=8e585656-1ca1-42a2-8172-8341a1d052c5 type=802-11-wireless permissions=user:ism001:; [802-11-wireless] ssid=test mode=infrastructure mac-address=08:11:96:C2:02:B4 security=802-11-wireless-security [802-11-wireless-security] key-mgmt=wpa-eap wep-key-flags=1 psk-flags=1 leap-password-flags=1 [ipv4] method=auto [ipv6] method=auto [802-1x] eap=peap; identity=username phase2-auth=mschapv2 password=mypassword password-raw-flags=1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1060907 Title: NetworkManager stores wifi passwords in plain text Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/some-wireless-profile contains plain text passwords.

Those files do not have appropriate permissions. Anyone with root access can read them. While we do have a certain amount of trust in our administrators we do not want to hand them the passwords of our users. We have wireless networks that use the users credentials and not some random password. This design now allows us to log on to any laptop in our organisation and find the users credentials.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1060907] Re: NetworkManager stores wifi passwords in plain text
As long as it is not in plain text in a file on the filesystem I do not care. We want users to be able to set up wireless connections and select available networks. As far as I have acertained this is accomplished by giving them rights to org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system. If we do this passwords WILL be stored in plain text in /etc. Storing passwords in plain text will *allways* and in any circumstances be a bad design.

home directory and this naturally fails since root has no privileges
there.

lightdm login fails with NFS home and strict (mode 0700) permissions
Status in Light Display Manager:
Confirmed
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in “lightdm” source package in Oneiric:
Triaged
Bug description:
Lightdm appears not to be able to log in a user if all of the
following are true:
1. They've got an NFS-mounted home directory
2. NFS is configured in the usual manner; ie, root privileges do not allow
access to arbitrary remote files
3. The user's home directory permissions are such that other cannot access
the directory (ie, mode 0700)
In this situation, the password is accepted and the screen clears.
Rather than bringing up the desktop as expected, a couple of seconds
pass and we're returned to the lightdm screen. This yielded a message
in one of the /var/log/lightdm logs which I've just discovered was
overwritten by subsequent successful logins. I'll recreate this and
update the bug tonight.
Workaround was to chmod the user's homedir to 0711 which allowed
lightdm to work properly.
Release is Ubuntu 11.10 with all updates as of 17 Oct 2011 at roughly
10pm EDT. Lightdm package is 1.0.1-0ubuntu6.
