WPA2 Enterprise with netctl

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to my university wifi which I believe is WPA2 Enterprise protected. I read the wiki about using the Eduroam netctl profile example for WPA2 Enterprise networks but it doesn't seem to work for me. This is what I have:

Connection='wireless'
Interface=wlp4s0b1
Security='wpa-configsection'
Description="nyu wpa2 network"
IP='dhcp'
TimeoutWPA=30
WPAConfigSection=(
    'ssid="nyu"'
    'key_mgmt=WPA-EAP'
    'eap=PEAP'
    'proto=WPA2'
    'phase2="auth=PAP"'  #maybe MSCHAPv2
    'auth_alg=OPEN'     #maybe
    'anonymous_identity="anonymous"' # ex: tu-dresden.de
    'identity="myusername"' # ex: s4234381@tu-dresden.de
    'password="mypassword"'
    'ca_cert="/usr/share/ca-certificates/trust-source/mozilla.trust.crt"'
)

Can someone point me to related info or correct my profile? Thanks.

Re: WPA2 Enterprise with netctl

Does your university have a site with some information/guidance for using eduroam?

Have you tried other example profiles from here, such as this one and  this one? The wiki refers to this AUR package, which seems to be where you got the profile you've tried. Perhaps try the other example profiles.
