Hi Everyone, I am new to Jolla phone, just got it yesterday and I was trying to connect to a wifi. But I have problems, I have read the link WPA-802.1X (enteprise) +[Others] wifi support needed + workaround but I have found it not helping me with the certificate. I need to connect to a wifi. WIFI security type: WPA/WPA2 Enterprise Enterprise Sub-Type: PEAP CA certificate: GeoTrust Global CA
Please advise. Thanks.
Could you please tell us what u did until now. Did you start to write a configurationfile like in that post you read? Do u have the certificate on your device or is it part of the bundle. I'm really not the biggest expert in this but thats what I know: U need the certificate installed (most times it's enough to open it with the browser - for me it told me that it's already installed - then it is in the bundle) U need to create a configuration file as presented in the other thread Usually it should work then if ur configuration file is correct.
Unfortunately I have also some trouble with this. It worked for me with the old patch and the patched wpa_supplicant but since 1.0.8.19 its not working so maybe I can't help you.

I just read through all the posts and how to get it going. I don't know in depth how ssl certificates and EAP and wifi security works. and all I read was about university ssl certificates and I didn't know if this would work for me too. so until i am pretty sure that it would definitely work for me i.e. the cert and information provided above, I don't want to enable any devel mode for no reason and lose a warranty.

As long as you need some certificate you need to do that settings on the wifi you use and the only way I know to do this is creating a config file as written in the other thread which includes dev mode. Maybe at some time there will come a patch which includes wifi settings as on a computer but this is in future. Maybe some other guys know more then me.
NuklearFart ( 2014-07-29 14:46:16 +0200 )editI read the main thread again, it says the rpm package wpa_supplicant installation is no longer relevant after update 8 (which I am on) so basically I just have to create a cfg file.
Do you think name of a file matters? or its ownership or permissions? The certificates are they present all in /etc/ssl/certs/ ? or I have to download from somewhere. Sorry for my little understanding on this part. what is Phase2?
vim /var/lib/connman/wifi_counterps.config
[service_conterps] Type=wifi Name=conterps EAP=peap CACertFile=/etc/ssl/certs/? Phase2=? Identity=user@domain Passphrase=yoursecret
