Wifi connection to wpa2 ttls pap network - maemo.org

flyapen | # 1 | 2013-12-17, 07:52 | Report

Hi everyone,

I'm new on this forum, just changed from my trusty android phone to a brand new jolla phone. I have a small question regarding wifi.

Has anyone been able to connect to a wpa2 network with ttls and pap security? I can connect to my home wifi network without any issues but when I try to connect to the wifi network at work I immediately get the message "Sorry. Could not connect to the selected network.".

Thanks.

I also have this issue, trying to connect to wpa2 with ttls and mschapv2, using Sailfish on an N9, gives me the same message.

Same thing with the eduroam network at UEF. https://www.eduroam.org/

I'm trying eduroam as well at work.

Same for me with eduroam and also other local WLAN network at the university. There are no new log entries in wpa_supplicant.log when I try it. journalctl does not give much either. Only related entry could be this:

Code:

The installed packages include wpa_supplicant-2.0-1.2.1.armv7hl
The Freien Universität Berlin has a page on linux with eduroam. There's a sample eduroam-wireless.conf and instructions. I think I know how to edit the sample .conf for my own university but I don't know how to run wpa_supplicant so that it connects, stays connected through restarts or leaving and then returning to an area served by the network. And I don't know what effect this will have on the battery.

Basically I feel like I have the jigsaw pieces but don't know how to put them together.

wpa_supplicant is running anyway, it's what enables you to connect to WLAN at all.

I edited wpa_supplicant.conf and added this section:

network={
ssid="eduroam"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=PEAP
identity="username@domain"
ca_cert="/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt"
phase1="peaplabel=0"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
priority=2
}

I haven't tested this in eduroam yet. Restarting wpa_supplicant didn't produce any new errors, and I was still able to connect to my existing WLAN (whew, because while fingerterm is good, nothing beats a full size keyboard and a large screen (or two) for serious admin work). I'll see what happens once I get back to UEF.

Replace username@domain with your username and the domain of your university as per eduroam's instructions.

I've tested that already this morning. Not working in my case as (i guess) wpa_supplicant.conf is ignored or overwritten by connection manager.

So it seems. Also, libeap doesn't seem to be installed by default, although it does exist in the repository. connmanctl is also missing.

have a look at this:

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=2186

it worked for me & eduroam:

a) activate devel-mode
b) use the terminal on the device or ssh to the device
c) install vim or any other text editor
d) vim /var/lib/connman/wifi_eduroam.config

Code:

[service_eduroam]
Type=wifi
Name=eduroam
EAP=peap
CACertFile=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
Phase2=MSCHAPV2
Identity=user@domain
Passphrase=yoursecret

e) turn on/off wlan (or reboot phone)
