Description Stefan Becker 2011-04-26 05:54:40 UTC
Description of problem:

After upgrading from F14 to F15 Beta I had to re-enter my wireless network information. One network uses WPA2 Enterprise and the CA certificate is provided as a DER file with the file extension .crt. When I select the certificate the "Connect" button gets ghosted and the following error shows up in .xsession-errors:

** (nm-connection-editor:16011): WARNING **: Error: couldn't verify CA certificate: 3 PEM certificate had no start tag '-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----'.
** (nm-connection-editor:16011): WARNING **: Invalid setting Wireless Security: Invalid wireless security

After converting the certificate to the PEM format with

   openssl x509 -inform der -in CA.crt -out CA.pem

it was accepted again.

The file dialog for choosing the certificate uses this filter:

   "DER or PEM certificates (*.der, *.pem, *.crt, *.cer)"

So either DER certificates are no longer supported, or .crt files are no longer recognized as DER certificates.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-glib-0.8.998-3.git20110419.fc15.i686
NetworkManager-0.8.998-3.git20110419.fc15.i686
NetworkManager-gnome-0.8.998-3.git20110419.fc15.i686


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select wireless network with WPA2 Enterprise security
2. Select "CA Certificate"
3. Select .crt file from file dialog
  
Actual results:
Can't complete wireless network setup.

Expected results:
Can complete wireless network setup.

Comment 1 Jirka Klimes 2011-04-28 09:47:45 UTC
The editor handles that correctly. However, the DER certificate was ruled out due to verifying the certificate in libnm-util/crypto.c (due to recent changes).
Now fixed, and both PEM and DER are supported.
