Connman with WPA2-Enterprise

Hey all,

I'm having issues connecting connman to my university's wifi. I've read up on other people having the same issue, and I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Whenever I try to connect to the network after setting up the config, I get an `invalid arguments` error. Neither the ID or the password contain non-alphanumeric characters. NetworkManager and wicd both work with my wifi card, so the issue isn't there.

My config is exactly as follows:

# /var/lib/connman/wifi_d8fc9311ac97_414e552d536563757265_managed_ieee8021x/settings
[service_peap]
Type = wifi
Name = [uni]-Secure
EAP = peap
CACertFile = /etc/ssl/certs/QuoVadis_Root_CA_2.pem
Phase2 = MSCHAPV2
Identity = #username
Passphrase = #password

My university gives the following information:

Security: WPA2-Enterprise
Encryption: AES
EAP Method: PEAP, version 0
Inner Method: MSCHAPV2 or EAP-GTC
Identity: University ID (without @[domain])
Anon Identity: University ID (without @[domain])
Password: University password
CA Certificate: browse to /etc/ssl/certs and select QuoVadis_Root_CA_2.pem
User Certificate: none

Re: Connman with WPA2-Enterprise

Have you tried adding the packages as suggested in the troubleshooting section of the wiki?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WPA2_Enterprise

I have no idea if that will solve your problem or not, just wondering if you've tried it.

Thought I already had pptpclient installed. Installed it, restarted connman and wpa_supplicant, same result.

Re: Connman with WPA2-Enterprise

Are you getting any errors logged to the journal?  When I've had to troubleshoot connman-vpn connections that is usually where I get some clue as to how to solve the problem.

I'm getting the following error:

 $ connmanctl connect wifi_xxx

$ journalctl -xe

Re: Connman with WPA2-Enterprise

I'm not anywhere near my Linux computer at the moment, but I'm pretty sure that once you create the config file you've created a connman service.  You'd need to connect the service:

connmanctl connect service_peap

Normally I would have tested this before suggesting it, but it will be hours before I'm back at that computer.
