Wifi connection with a .cert file

Hi,

On my campus, they uses a .cert file to configure the wifi connection and they don't support non graphical linux. Netcfg does not seem to have any configuration for that. Where do I start?

I don't have any private key so I guess from the man of wpasuplicant that I should do something like:

          ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
          network={
              ssid="example"
              scan_ssid=1
              key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
              eap=PEAP
              identity="user@example.com"
              password="foobar"
              ca_cert="/etc/cert/ca.pem"
              phase1="peaplabel=0"
              phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
          }

or

          ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
          network={
              ssid="example"
              scan_ssid=1
              key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
              eap=TTLS
              identity="user@example.com"
              anonymous_identity="anonymous@example.com"
              password="foobar"
              ca_cert="/etc/cert/ca.pem"
              phase2="auth=MD5"
          }

Just because they don´t need private key.

How do I get a .pem file from the .cert?

I'm right. Which type of config should I use?
