I'm back. I've run into something.
First, I stopped NetworkManager service, and then tried creating a
simple wpa_supplicant configuration file, like so...
-
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid=networkname
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=PEAP
identity=username
password=mypassword
phase1=peaplabel=PEAPTYPE
phase2=auth=MSCHAPV2
}
-
Excecuted with: /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -ddd -i wlan0 -c
wpacert-soms.conf -D wext
As you can see I left out the certificate line. This did work
successfully, if PEAPTYPE=0. (Type 1 did not work). I don't have any
logs, but I'd be happy to post them if anyone would like to see.
I then did the following steps in NetworkManager:
1. Selected networkname under the network menu.
2. Entered the same data from the conf file (MSCHAP, PEAP=0, no certificate).
I then connected! Voila! This connection worked, although I had to
click Ignore on the Don't Use Certificate question box.
3. Then, I opened up the connection (Edit Connections), and set the
certificate for it in NetworkManager.
4. To top it off, I tried setting PEAP to Automatic.
And then it connected again! Amazing.
5. I then restarted the computer, and logged back in.
6. NetworkManager failed to connection after several times.
Wait. What happened here? It was just working.
7. I deleted the NetworkManager connection, and then re-selected the
network in the menu.
8. I added the original settings (PEAP=0, no certificate) again.
I connected again!
9. I opened the connection and set the certificate and PEAP to Automatic.
And then it connected! Until I restarted my computer again...
So this is my dilemma. Certificate+PEAP=Automatic doesn't seem to
work on its own. However, if I try to connect to the network with
PEAP=0, no certificate, then the connection is successful, AND
subsequent connections (as Iong as I don't restart the computer) are
successful with the certificate and PEAP=Automatic.
This has happened consistently. Why does NM connect correctly with
the certificate+PEAP=Auto, only after I've previously connected with
NoCertificate+PEAP=0? If anyone has any debugging advice I'd be happy
to follow it.
