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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2012:0832 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE NetworkManager bug fix and enhancement update 2012-06-19 20:49:16 UTC

Description Russell Harrison 2006-10-04 18:30:19 UTC
Description of problem:
NetworkManager needs support for EAP-FAST

EAP-FAST is a replacement for the LEAP authentication protocol due to the
security issues with LEAP.  wpa supplicant currently supports EAP-FAST with some
patches to openssl, but NetworkManager doesn't have the configuration dialogs in
place to connect to networks using EAP-FAST.

Comment 8 Dan Williams 2007-11-05 15:39:34 UTC
I believe we can do this for 5.2

Comment 11 Jay Turner 2007-11-22 11:46:12 UTC
QE ack for RHEL5.2.  Sounds like we have the hardware in-house and just need to
sort out configuration.

Comment 13 Dan Williams 2008-01-09 20:22:17 UTC
We're going to need OpenSSL changes for EAP-FAST as well since openssl doesn't
fully support RFC 4851...

Comment 18 Ryan Daly 2008-06-06 19:26:42 UTC
I am in the same boat with EAP-FAST support.  I was able to get NM to connect to
this EAP-FAST wireless network once, but nothing since then.

I am able to connect to the above network with wpa_supplicant.  Below is the
configuration:

network={
        ssid="wlan"
        proto=RSN
        key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
        pairwise=CCMP
        eap=LEAP
        identity="daly"
        password="password"
        ca_cert=""
        mode=0
        disabled=0
}

This configuration was generated through wpa_gui.

I see from the above that RHEL 5.2 was to have support for this type of network.
 I'm currently 5.2 but am still having issues.

Comment 23 RHEL Program Management 2008-07-16 16:08:19 UTC
Development Management has reviewed and declined this request.  You may appeal
this decision by reopening this request. 

Comment 24 Dan Williams 2008-07-16 16:14:33 UTC
Ugh, shouldn't have been automatically closed WONTFIX, sorry.  Still a valid
bug; just postponed a bit.

Comment 31 Jason Roysdon 2008-12-08 21:18:46 UTC
Support is missing in F9 and F10 as well for EAP-FAST.

Comment 32 Dan Williams 2008-12-09 17:26:32 UTC
(In reply to comment #31)
> Support is missing in F9 and F10 as well for EAP-FAST.

Yeah, but it's not gonna show up in F9 or F10 unless openssl gets updated there too.

Comment 33 Dan Williams 2009-09-11 18:52:16 UTC
openssl now has EAP-FAST support

Comment 35 Jason Roysdon 2009-09-12 04:44:40 UTC
NM still doesn't list EAP-FAST as an option in F11.  I don't have a production EAP-FAST system available, but I'm pretty sure until that option is there, NM is still dead when it comes to EAP-FAST.

Comment 37 Miroslav Vadkerti 2010-06-25 12:16:36 UTC
openssl now supports EAP-FAST, please update NM to support it also

Comment 42 Chris Marcantonio 2011-10-21 15:49:27 UTC
I see this BZ is filed against RHEL6, but I also see previous bugs closed as dupes of this that were filed against Fedora, so I'm not sure if this is the most appropriate place to ask about the status of this in F16 as well.  Can anyone provide any insight into EAP-FAST support in F16?

This BZ looks like it is tentatively flagged for RHEL 6.3, but that doesn't help too much with understanding the when this may land in Fedora.
