Re: DBUS specifications for NetworkManager 0.9

2012-03-15 Thread Ajay Garg
Thanks Dan;

This cleared some of my concepts; I always had a section in my
router-configuration web page, regarding the MAC addresses. I now
understand (courtesy you) that the basic authentication occurs at the
device level; user-authentication is the (second) authentication over
the second layer.

Also, I believe that this user-level-authentication is a part of
WPA/WPA2-standard; I expect that this would become too for WiMax as
well...
But anyways, I need to shut up, and try connecting to a WiMax device
ASAP :) :) :)


Thanks and Regards,
Ajay

Yes, except that the EAP authentication is not typically under control
of the user.  The EAP bits authenticate the *device*, not the user, and
user authentication is typically provided by a captive portal web login
scheme after the device has connected to the NAP.  So the user has
nothing to configure except to enter in their username and password to
the captive portal if the provider doesn't already recognize the MAC of
the WiMAX device.

AFAIUI the EAP authentication (at least for the Intel devices) is done
using a certificate stored in the device's NVRAM that is not user
accessible.  It's just part of the automatic connection process and the
user doesn't know anything about it unless it fails for some reason.

Commonly, user-level authentication is handled after the device has
already made a connection to the base station and received an IP
address.  So yes, that typically means anyone with a WiMAX device can
connect to the base station and will land in the captive portal.  At
least with CLEAR in the US, on the backend you land on a VLAN where your
authentication is handled via a web UI in which you enter your
subscription name and password, and after successful authentication the
backend switches you to the authenticated VLAN.  This is almost exactly
the process that most WiFi captive portals use too, from the user's
perspective.

Re: DBUS specifications for NetworkManager 0.9

Thanks Dan.

That was really useful information.

So, this seems somewhat like a WPA/WPA2-Enterprise WIFI network situation.

However, I still wonder (no offense to you please ...), as to there
_must_ be some authentication somewhere; for as it currently stands
that NSP is publically available (much like SSID of a typical WIFI
network); but unlike WPA/WPA-Enterprise, there is no authentication at
user-level, thereby meaning that the network is open to be connected
by anyone (unless of course that is what WiMax aims to achieve ;-) )

Thanks a ton to you all (Thomas, David, Dan) !!!

There's nothing to specify for WiMAX since that's all handled on a lower
level, at least with all the hardware that's out there right now and
compatible with Linux.  The current NM code only supports the Intel
"wimaxd" software and Intel i2400m WiMAX hardware since that's the only
WiMAX stack that's freely available on Linux.

The only relevant settings for WiMAX are currently the  MAC address, to
lock to a specific WiMAX device, and the NSP name.  The wimaxd daemon
itself handles any security that might be required based on it's
configuration file and stored list of NSP configurations.  I think it
supports EAP-TLS and EAP-TTLS which are (I believe) the de-facto
standard auth protocols for most mobile wimax networks.

Thanks David for the reply.

What I meant something was to "add a wimax connection" (something
along the lines of
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/examples/python/add-system-wifi-connection.py).

Unless of course, Wimax is a sub-type of Wifi; i.e. Wimax has same

Thanks a ton, Thomas; that is what I needed.


Just one quick query; at first glance, the major enhancement I see is the
method ::

_org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.AddAndActivateConnection_



Is this method. equivalent (_*in every sense*_) to

_org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Settings.AddConnection_

followed by

_org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.ActivateConnection_



More importantly,
Is the connection-path stored in _org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Settings_
in the case of _org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.AddAndActivateConnection_? I
presume yes, looking at the output parameters returned by
_org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.AddAndActivateConnection_; just wish to
confirm ;-)


Thanks again.

Regards,
Ajay

2012-03-09 Thread Ajay Garg
Hi all.

Are the dbus-specifications for NetworkManager 0.9 out (on similar lines as
http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/developers/spec-08.html) ?

Will be grateful for a reply.

Thanks and Regards,
Ajay

Thanks.  I have no idea why the link is broken.  The file exists in
gnome web CVS (in the same directory where the developers/index.html
file is), and the link should work.  I simply haven't sat down for long
enough to bang my head on a desk and figure out why.

Really not comfortable to have to install all those devel packages
(which are not listed in INSTALL file) just to get the API ... But
thanks for the tip.

People *using* NM, even as an API, should not need to run
./configure. 
I have updated http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManagerDBusInterface with
the released 0.7 specs. Please link to it from or put a copy to a more
official place (like the 1st URL above).

Download NetworkManager sources, run configure with '--with-docs' flag
and then run make. That'll create the DBus API documentation file
docs/spec.html.

Where could I get network-manager 0.7 dbus specifications? The link on
website is broken.
Is there a list of specifications diif from 0.6 to 0.7? I have to update
my software so it supports network-manager 0.7.

Thanks
