Since the update to 2.1.1.23 I cannot connect to the eduroam WLAN. Previously it was configured with the Roamer app and worked flawlessly. See configuration details:

Network name (SSID) eduroam
Security WPA2 Enterprise
Authentication EAP-TTLS
Encryption AES
Root-CA-Certificatie Deutsche Telekom Root CA 2 Authentication
Server radius.uni-ulm.de
Inner Authentication PAP
Outer identity anonymous@uni-ulm.de
Inner identity max.muster@uni-ulm.de (individual kiz-Email)

I cannot confirm that. For me, eduroam works in 2.1.1.23 as it did before...

I can confirm that the update broke the eduroam support also for me.

Ok I got it solved for me:

renamed my eduroam config
deactivated the eduroam network in setting > wlan (by tapping on the eduroam network)
Searched for the eduroam network and tried to connect to the network (which was unsuccessful). Then deactivated wlan.
Then I renamed my eduroam config again, activated the WLAN, activated the eduroam network and it was finally able to connect to the network again

Earlier I also changed the config file permissions to -rwx------ - but this didn't solve the issue and I tried the things mentioned above.

In which state is your WLAN before step 1?

carolus ( 2017-07-28 10:48:50 +0300 )edit

@carolus IIRC it was deactivated. :)

BTW my university is using EAP-TLS MSCHAPv2 eduroam (with user certificates).

Alex ( 2017-07-28 10:53:57 +0300 )edit

That's probably why it is still not working for me, since we have TTLS and PAP here.

In the first step I renamed my config file from wifi_eduroam.config to wifi_eduroam.config.tmp so connman does not know that there once existed an eduroam config... Does this solve it for you?

Alex ( 2017-07-28 11:00:28 +0300 )edit

@Alex That is exactly the same what I did. But after this the eduroam disappears from the list, so that I cannot deactivate it. I think there come two bugs together: One concerns usage of the existing config and the other is related to the TTLS-PAP stuff.

carolus ( 2017-07-28 11:06:50 +0300 )edit

Oh sorry I think I swapped step 1 with 2. First try the second step and then the first step. (sorry just sitting in a lecture and I am somewhat unconcentrated :D)

Alex ( 2017-07-28 11:09:15 +0300 )edit

@Alex I tried everything in different orders, but it still doesn't work.

I had to edit the wifi config file (e.g. add a comment) to change the modification timestamp of the file. Then connman automatically rereads the config and eduroam worked again. After that also my identity was correctly displayed in settings->wifi->myeduroamconnection. Before the edit it was empty.

Which type of WPA-Enterprise does your Eduroam use: also EAP-TTLS and PAP?

carolus ( 2017-07-27 13:39:45 +0300 )edit

No, I use EAP-PEAP and MSCHAPv2. But I don't think that's the problem here. Have you tried to delete the old config and create the config again?

And as a wild guess, are you sure radius.uni-ulm.de still uses a certificate with Root-CA "Deutsche Telekom Root CA 2"? The DFN-PKI is in transition to the new Root-CA "T-TeleSec GlobalRoot Class 2", all new certificates will use this one these days.

rincewind ( 2017-07-27 15:06:23 +0300 )edit

I deleted the old config by the Roamer app and created manually the config file like in the eduroam thread]. I also tried the GUI in the network settings.

I just tried to fix my eduroam wifi on my tablet with the steps I posted in the comments earlier and this indeed does not work. There is missing one step to make it work.

So I fixed my eduroam wifi with the following steps:

Deactivate WIFI
Change the config file name from wifi_eduroam.config to wifi_eduroam.config.tmp
Activate WIFI so that connman sees that there is no eduroam config anymore and removes this accesspoint/service
Deactivate WIFI again
Create the new file wifi_eduroam.config as root user (devel-su), put all the content from wifi_eduroam.config.tmp into this file and remove the old wifi_eduroam.config.tmp file (optionally also change the permissions so that nemo user is not able to read your file)
Activate WIFI again
Now long press the eduroam network and select "forget network"
Deactivate and activate your WIFI again
Now the eduroam network reappears. Activate the eduroam network by tapping on it => It automatically connects to the eduroam wifi now

Could somone please first try the following and report if it is possible to break down the steps above to the following?:

Go to 'Settings > Wifi'
Long press on the eduroam network and select 'forget network'
Restart your Wifi by deactivating and reactivating it
Now connman re-reads the existing eduroam configuration file and the eduroam network reappears in the Wifi list. Now activate the eduroam network by tapping on it and it should connect to your enterprise wifi

For me this broke with 2.1.1.26 at UPF Barcelona.

None of the above helped.
