Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

Description Filip Pokryvka 2018-08-30 08:34:02 UTC 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

RHEL 7.6, NetworkManager-1.12.0-3.el7.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1. generate private key encrypted by aes256
  openssl genrsa -aes256 -out test.key.enc.pem 2048

2. add new 8021x connection using encrypted private key
  nmcli con add type ethernet ifname \* con-name con_ethernet 802-1x.eap tls 802-1x.private-key test.key.enc.pem 802-1x.private-key-password <hidden>

Actual results:
Error: failed to modify 802-1x.private-key: 802-1x.private-key: invalid private key. 

Expected results:
Should throw error, that certificate is required, and connection should be created, when all other required fileds are provided

Additional info:
other ciphers works (aes128, des-cbc...)
Comment 4 Vladimir Benes 2018-09-05 13:37:57 UTC 
Tested on all architectures but s390x and aarch64 (as we don't have epel and thus hostapd)
