RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

[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'.
