wpa_supplicant phase2="auth=PAP"

[John Mann <John Mann its monash edu au>]

Hi,

I'm looking for wpa_supplicant phase2="auth=PAP"
support in NetworkManager.

This is for Eduroam wireless access.
Radius servers from different organisations are federated together, and
EAP-TTLS is used to tunnel authentication back to the home Radius
server.

In our case, phase2="auth=PAP" is used to authenticate against a LDAP
server at the home organisation.

A working wpa_supplicant.conf is
---
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel

ap_scan=1
network={
        ssid="eduroam"
        scan_ssid=1
        key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
        eap=TTLS
        ca_cert="/etc/ca.pem"
        identity="johnm monash edu au"
        password="PASSWORD"
        phase2="auth=PAP"
}

Generically speaking, can NetworkManager be enhanced to support the
*nix-relevant options that SecureW2 (http://www.securew2.com/uk/) does?

---
It doesn't look too hard to add code to save/recall options and send
them to wpa_cli.  But the GUI widget code is outside my experience ...

Is anyone else working on this?
Does anyone want to help me do it?

Thanks,
        John
