Revision history [back]

Hi,

I am not an expert at this topic, so I'll try to describe as detailed as possible, how I am able to connect to the WLAN at my university (using my laptop running Arch Linux as well as using my Jolla with a manual configuration/connman disabled) and what seems to be the problem using Jolla with connman.

This is my working wpa_supplicant config file for the laptop:

network={
ssid="eduroam"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=TTLS
proto=WPA RSN
identity="myusername"
anonymous_identity="anonymous@uni-xyz.de"
password="mypassword"
ca_cert="/path/to/certificate/Deutsche_Telekom_Root_CA_2.crt"
phase2="auth=PAP"
}

which as well works with wpa_supplicant on my Jolla if I configure the WLAN adapter manually, i.e. step by step:

# first I have to kill connman
devel-su
systemctl stop connman
# setting up wpa_supplicant
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/eduroam.conf
# I get an IP-address with udhcpc that has to be added manually
udhcpc -iwlan0
ip addr add <ip I got from udhcpc/suffix> dev wlan0
# The default gateway and DNS information stay constant 
ip route add default via 'address of default gateway at my uni'
# then I add some lines to /etc/resolv.conf:
    domain nac.uni-xyz.de
    nameserver <nameserver ip>

This leads to a working internet connection but obviously is not very comfortable, because connman has to be stopped...

I have tried to create a connman config file /var/lib/connman/wifi_eduroam.config with the following content but there is a problem while trying to set up the connection.

/var/lib/connman/wifi_eduroam.config

[service_eduroam]
Type=wifi
Name=eduroam
EAP=TTLS
CACertFile=/path/to/certificate/Deutsche_Telekom_Root_CA_2.crt
Phase2=PAP
Identity=myidentity@uni-xyz.de
Passphrase=mypassphrase

I guess, that the connection fail is linked to the lack of a config parameter for anonymous_identity in connman according to connman/connman.git.

Well, as I already said, I am not an expert, so please forgive me, if this problem has been solved already or if there is some stupid mistake ;)

For me personally it would suffice if there was a possibility to avoid having to stop connman while using the eduroam network. Maybe there is some way to tell connman to use my wpa_supplicant config file?

Thank you
