Hi everybody, I want to find a way to keep WiFi networks connected before user logins or logoff.
That implies that you do not restrict the profile to a certain user. Meaning: "connection.permissions" is left unset/empty.
The problem seems to be that network-manager tries to auto connect but does not have access to the encrypted key. I am going through the docs and there is an psk-flags=0 that should tell to not use encrypted storage.
The docs that you refer to is possbly `man nm-settings`.
How do I set psk-flags=0 as default for gnome-network-manager, i cant seem to find the right dbus or polkit policy.
As said, there is no "default". This is a setting of each profile, there is no default. Also, the setting is determined by the client tool that creates/modifes the profile. NetworkManager doesn't really apply a default.
tried the bellow in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf but did not work.
Don't configure per-profile settings in NetworkManager.conf. There is `man NetworkManager.conf` for general NetworkManager configuration and `man nm-settings` for per-profile settings. You can set profile values in several ways: nmcli connection show "$PROFILE" nmcli connection modify "$PROFILE" wifi-sec.psk-flags 0 you can also set this via most of the GUIs, like nm-connection-editor or plasma-nm. You can also edit the profile on disk, but that would then be in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections (or similar). See the actually used file via `nmcli -f all connection`. If you edit the file, you need to first do `nmcli connection reload` or `nmcli connection load "$FILENAME"`.
