Hi there, this may be a duplicate somehow, but I did not found a solution so far for my problem. My University provides a eduroam access. Therefor you can download a wpa-supplicant.conf together with a ca.pem file for your login. The wpa-supplicant.conf looks like:

network={
   ca_cert="/path/to/ca.pem"
   ssid="eduroam"
   key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
   pairwise=CCMP
   group=CCMP TKIP
   eap=PEAP
   identity="xyz@myuniversity.de"
   domain_suffix_match="radius2030.myuniversity.de"
   phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
   password="mysecretpassword"
   anonymous_identity="wpasupplicantconfapp_ca2030@myuniversity.de"
}

It seems to be necessary to use the pem-file. I can choose that in the Setup-Dialog on Sailfish. But finally the connection will not work if i choose in this dialogue:

  • Mode: WPA-EAP (PEAP)
  • EAP-Methode: PEAP
  • Version: Automatically
  • Inner Auth: MSCHAPv2
  • CA Cert: Filesystem (ca.pem)
  • Identity: From "identity" in wpa-supplicant.conf
  • Password: From "password" in in wpa-supplicant.conf

So it looks like i also have to enter the anonymous_identity and the domain-suffix-match. Or do I basically misunderstand something?

For me eduroam is working quit out of the box. But I don't use any kind of custom .pem. So except for the CA Cert I have all the same settings like you. But I did not created a wpa-supplicant.conf. I just used the built-in Setup-Dialog. By the way do you have checked that you are using the correct credential (using special credentials for WLAN) ?

i did also not create a wpa-supplicant.conf. But it was given from the university and i copied my credentials from there. I used the setup-dialog, too. I do not know if the .conf file would work in sailfish and where to copy. I use the credentials that have been generated for this device (so you can create several for the devices) and copied them from the wpa-supplicant.conf that was finally provided. For my notebook I downloaded such a "pre made" wpa-supplicant.conf as well and used it there directly. This works without any issues.
