wpa_supplicant wireless connection with identity

I want to connect to an network with identites.

My config file:

ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant
update_config=1

network={
   key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
   eap=PEAP
   ssid="ssid of network"
   identity=my user name
   psk=passphrase
}

Obviously i put for the ssid, identity and psk proper correct values.

But this doesn't connect to the network.

Does anybody know how i can solve it.

Edit:

If i execute

wpa_supplicant -i wlp4s0 -c <path>

I get the error

Line 10: failed to parse identify 'myidentity'.
Line 10: failed to parse identify 'myidentity'.
Line 13: failed to parse network block.

Edit2:

I fixed it. The identity tag needs to be in quotation marks and the password parameter needs to be set.
