Description of problem: NetworkManager does not currently support p12 certificates, can support be added. Current wpa-supplicant supports p12 certs.
This is a usability issue that causes users much frustration. Splitting the .p12 requires a variety of command line "geeky" tools. NetworkManager should handle the extraction of the required certificate information from the .p12 without burdening the user. The UI should prompt optionally for the .p12 and automagically take care of it. over 25000 IBMers have use .p12 to connect to wireless via EAP/TLS
Dan, from what I understand the following config works for IBM´ers # IBM EAP-TLS network={ ssid="IBM" scan_ssid=1 eap=TLS key_mgmt=IEEE8021X pairwise=TKIP group=WEP104 identity="user.com" private_key="/path/to/user*.p12" private_key_passwd="topsecret" eapol_flags=3 } So I suspect if you would allow input with WPA/WPA2 Enterprise TLS identity private_key (can you add p12 to the list of accepted files here) private_key_passwd This would be suffice, currently it requires also the User Certificate & CA Certificate.
