[PATCH] ifcfg-rh: accept 802.1x connection with empty EAP-TLS identity none

Description Thomas Haller 2016-11-03 12:06:50 UTC 
(use dummy certificates from NetworkManager source-tree)



nmcli connection add type ethernet autoconnect no con-name t-ifcfg ifname '*'

nmcli connection modify t-ifcfg connection.stable-id "aa'bb" 802-1x.eap 'tls' 802-1x.client-cert $PWD/libnm-core/tests/certs/test2_ca_cert.pem 802-1x.private-key-password x 802-1x.private-key $PWD/libnm-core/tests/certs/test_key_and_cert.pem  802-1x.password "pass1"


all looks good:





TYPE=Ethernet
PROXY_METHOD=none
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
DEFROUTE=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6_ADDR_GEN_MODE=stable-privacy
NAME=t-ifcfg
UUID=c7b348d3-3c79-4975-bd75-4d4562377f0e
ONBOOT=no
KEY_MGMT=IEEE8021X
IEEE_8021X_EAP_METHODS=TLS
IEEE_8021X_PRIVATE_KEY=/data/src/NetworkManager/libnm-core/tests/certs/test_key_and_cert.pem
IEEE_8021X_CLIENT_CERT=/data/src/NetworkManager/libnm-core/tests/certs/test2_ca_cert.pem
BROWSER_ONLY=no
PEERDNS=yes
PEERROUTES=yes
IPV6_PEERDNS=yes
IPV6_PEERROUTES=yes
STABLE_ID="aa\'bb"







After `nmcli connection reload` or NM restart:

NetworkManager[12220]: <debug> [1478174443.2532] ifcfg-rh: loading from file "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-t-ifcfg"...
NetworkManager[12220]: <warn>  [1478174443.2533] ifcfg-rh: loading "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-t-ifcfg" fails: Missing IEEE_8021X_IDENTITY for EAP method 'tls'.
