Description Thomas Haller 2016-11-03 08:06:50 EDT

(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

BROWSER_ONLY=no
PEERDNS=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"...
