Description Traxtopel 2008-09-18 14:05:20 UTC

Description of problem:
NetworkManager does not currently support p12 certificates, can support be added.

Current wpa-supplicant supports p12 certs.

Comment 1 John Walicki 2008-09-19 04:40:14 UTC

This is a usability issue that causes users much frustration.  Splitting the .p12 requires a variety of command line "geeky" tools.  NetworkManager should handle the extraction of the required certificate information from the .p12 without burdening the user.

The UI should prompt optionally for the .p12 and automagically take care of it.

over 25000 IBMers have use .p12 to connect to wireless via EAP/TLS

Comment 2 Traxtopel 2008-10-10 12:51:36 UTC

Dan,
from what I understand the following config works for IBM´ers

# IBM EAP-TLS
network={
        ssid="IBM"
        scan_ssid=1
        eap=TLS
        key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
        pairwise=TKIP
        group=WEP104
        identity="user.com"
        private_key="/path/to/user*.p12"
        private_key_passwd="topsecret"
        eapol_flags=3
}

So I suspect if you would allow input with
WPA/WPA2 Enterprise
TLS
identity
private_key (can you add p12 to the list of accepted files here)
private_key_passwd

This would be suffice, currently it requires also the User Certificate & CA Certificate.
