xsupplicant won't use network config (eap_tls)

  • Quote

Post by dtg666 » Fri Oct 20, 2006 5:30 pm

hi,

i need to use xsupplicant with eap_tls to connect to my internet provider here in a students house, they can't give support for linux so i ask you, i converted the server and user certificates to .pem file format and gave the links into the xsupplicant.conf in /etc, i will edit this post and give you outputs about xsupplicant.conf and what xsupplicant debug tells me because obviously i cant post in linux, the main problem is xsupplicant tells me from the beginning i need wireless extensions although i'm connected through LAN and then tells me theres no network config although i edited some points.

# This is an example configuration file for xsupplicant versions after 0.8b.

### GLOBAL SECTION

# network_list: defines all of the networks in this file which 
#      should be kept in memory and used.Comma delimited list or "all"
#      for keeping all defined configurations in memory. For efficiency,
#      keep only the networks you might roam to in memory.
#      To avoid errors, make sure your default network is always
#      in the network_list.  In general, you will want to leave this set to 
#      "all".

network_list = all
#network_list = default, test1, test2

# default_netname: some users may actually have a network named "default".
#      since "default" is a keyword in the network section below, you can
#      change which is to be used as the replacement for this keyword
#
# As of Xsupplicant 1.2.2, wireless interfaces will no longer use the default
# network name if they are unable to find a valid config.  If you have
# auto association turned on, Xsupplicant will find a new network to connect
# to.  Otherwise, it will do nothing.

default_netname = default
#default_netname = my_defaults

# destination: defines how Xsupplicant should determine the destination address
# that should be used for the 802.1X conversation.
#
# Valid Options are :
#    Auto - respond to source address from the last packet we saw.
#    Source - same as Auto
#    BSSID - Always answer to the BSSID of the AP we are associated to.
#    Multicast - always use the multicast address defined in 802.1X-2001.
#
#destination = auto

# When Xsupplicant initiates a scan, it will wait for some amount of time
# before it attempts another scan.  (This is to avoid hammering on the card
# to find an AP.)  Depending on your driver, this setting may need to be 
# changed.  Specifically, for Atheros a/b/g devices it is probably better
# to set this to 30.
#scan_timeout = 15

# Xsupplicant will create a control socket that can be used for various
# gui interface programs.  In order to be able to use those programs as a 
# user other than root, we need to set the socket to be owned by a specific
# group.  The 'ipc_group' command allows you to do this.  By default, it is
# owned by root.  It is suggested that you set it to users if you plan to
# use the control socket.
#ipc_group = users

# Do we want xsupplicant to pick the best AP to connect to?  Or should the
# 'firmware' be allowed to select the AP?  (In most cases, letting Xsupplicant
# make the decision for you is currently better.)
#roaming = xsupplicant

# Should we do passive scanning while associated/authenticated with an AP?
# In order to support preauthentication, this *MUST* be enabled.  However,
# some wireless cards don't do passive scanning correctly, and will end up 
# disconnecting you from the network while a scan is completed.
#passive_scanning = yes

# The amount of time (in seconds) that should pass between passive scan
# attempts.  When the scan is commplete, Xsupplicant will make a decision
# about which AP is the best.  If a better AP is found, Xsupplicant will
# jump to it.  If 'passive_scanning' is set to 'no', then this setting does
# nothing.
#passive_timer = 300

# EAP request identity messages may contain a network id field in it.  This
# network ID can be useful for determining a network name on wired networks.
# For wireless networks, this ID usually matches the SSID so leaving it
# enabled is a good idea unless you have a reason not to.
use_eap_hints = yes

# When running in daemon, or non-foreground mode, you may want to have the
# output of the program.  So, define a log file here.  Each time XSupplicant
# is started, this file will be replaced.  So, there is no need to roll the
# log file. If the logfile name is set to "syslog", then all messages will 
# be sent to the syslog. If syslog is defined, you should also define
# "log_facility" to specify which logging facility will be used.
logfile = /var/log/xsupplicant.log

# If you have set the logfile option to "syslog", then you should define
# log_facility in order to tell Xsupplicant where to send log messages. 
# Valid settings are cron, daemon, ftp, kern, local0, local1, local2, 
# local3, local4, local5, local6, local7, lpr, news, user, and uucp
log_facility = daemon

# If we want Xsupplicant to control the associations for networks, we need
# to set the following setting to "auto".  If you want to control the network
# you connect to via iwconfig (or other SSID setting utility) you should set
# this option to manual.  The default is auto.
association = auto

# This value should be changed to reflect how long it takes your card to
# determine if it is associated.  (Basically, the value should be the number
# of seconds it takes for your card to scan every possible frequency and
# speed it is aware of.)  For most cards, 30 seconds is enough time.  However
# if your card is capable of doing 802.11a/b/g, you may need to set this 
# value higher.

association_timeout = 30

# The auth_period, held_period, and max_starts modify the timers in the state
# machine.  (Please reference the 802.1x spec for info on how they are used.)
# For most people, there is no reason to define these values, as the defaults
# should work.

auth_period = 30

held_period = 30

max_starts = 3

# The "default_interface" is the interface that will be used if one is not
# specified on the command line.  

default_interface = eth0

# Enable or disable friendly warnings.  The default setting is "yes".

# friendly_warnings = no

# The stale key timeout is how long a unicast key should be in use before a
# warning is issued.  It doesn't actually change the way the program functions
# and should be considered cosmetic.  However, it may be useful to put this
# to a lower value if you believe that WEP keys can be broken quicker than the
# default setting of 10 minutes.  If friendly_warnings is set to no, then
# this does nothing.

#stale_key_timeout = 600

# For most people, the default setting for "allmulti" will work just fine.  In
# some cases, wireless cards have been known to not work when ALLMULTI is 
# enabled.  (Such as certain Orinoco cards, with older drivers.)  If "allmulti"
# is set to "no", XSupplicant will not attempt to change the state of the 
# setting in the driver.  So, you should make sure to do an "ifconfig ethX
# -allmulti".

#allmulti = no

###  NETWORK SECTION
# The general format of the network section is a network name followed
# by a group of variables.

# Network names may contain the following characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, '-', 
# '_', '\', '/'
# Those interested in having an SSID with ANY character in it can use
# the ssid tag within the network clause. Otherwise, your ssid will
# be the name of the network.

## Default Network Section
# This is the network configuration that will be used in the event that
# no valid network configuration can be found.  If you are going to leave
# Xsupplicant running all the time, it is recommended that you leave this
# section blank.  A blank network definition will result in Xsupplicant 
# turning off encryption and turning control over to iwconfig.

  # set, xsupplicant will attempt to determine if the interface is wired or
  # wireless.  In general, you should only need to define this when
  # xsupplicant incorrectly identifies your network interface.
  type = wired

  # association_type : the way that xsupplicant should attempt to associate.
  # The options are open, shared, or leap.  In the vast majority of cases, you
  # should leave this at the default setting of 'open'.  'shared' mode should
  # almost never be used, but would be used in the event of a static WEP 
  # network that uses 'shared key authentication'.  'leap' is also known as
  # 'network EAP' in cisco-ese.  If you are attempting to connect to a LEAP
  # enabled network, you may need to set this to leap.
  association_type = open

  # wireless_control: If this profile is forced to wired, this will not do
  # anything.  However, if the interface is forced, or detected to be wireless
  # XSupplicant will take control of re/setting WEP keys when the machine 
  # first starts, and when it jumps to a different AP.  In general, you won't
  # need to define, or set this value.

  # specific value.  Allowed values are 1, and 2.  (Default : Auto)  If you
  # are having problems authenticating, set this value to 1 and see if that
  # helps.  (In general, it won't be needed.)

  #   Typically, this is the username for this network. If this is a string
  # that does not contain any spaces, or unusual characters, it can be listed
  # plain.  Otherwise, it should be enclosed in quotes.

  # in order to get WPA working correctly.  Valid options for this setting
  # are WEP40, TKIP, WRAP, CCMP, and WEP104.  However, the only settings that
  # currently work are WEP40, WEP104, and TKIP.  (And those depend on having

  # to associate to the network and start an 802.1X connection.  This should
  # not be confused with the static_wep option which doesn't do 802.1X, but
