Hi,
the eduroam certificate got updated recently and iwd shows me the message failed to laod ca.pem.
Original Message:
Failed to load "/var/lib/iwd/ca.pem"
Unfortunately I have overwritten the old certificate so I do not know how it looked like. But here is the current one:

The file is at the specified location and if it is not there I get a different error message.
Maybe someone has some ideas.
Thanks in advance.

Please use [code][/code] tags, not "quote" tags. Edit your post in this regard.
Problem is possibly https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=286417 ?
Otherwise we'll need more context than an isolated error message.

This is not a single CA certificate but a chain of two certificates:
The first one is a root CA certificate
Issuer: C = US, ST = New Jersey, L = Jersey City, O = The USERTRUST Network, CN = USERTrust RSA Certification Authority
[...]
Subject: C = US, ST = New Jersey, L = Jersey City, O = The USERTRUST Network, CN = USERTrust RSA Certification Authority
The second one is for an intermediate CA issued by the root CA from the first certificate:
Issuer: C = US, ST = New Jersey, L = Jersey City, O = The USERTRUST Network, CN = USERTrust RSA Certification Authority
[...]
Subject: C = GB, ST = Greater Manchester, L = Salford, O = Sectigo Limited, CN = Sectigo RSA Domain Validation Secure Server CA
Are you sure those are the right ones? I only found information about a recent eduroam certificate exchange (September 25th 2023) with the new certificate validated by "AAA":
Issuer: C = GB, ST = Greater Manchester, L = Salford, O = Comodo CA Limited, CN = AAA Certificate Services
Offline
This ca.pem is downloaded by the tool provided to install eduroam on linux.
Here is the tool: https://cat.eduroam.org/.
I had iwd configured and i worked in August. The last time I configured iwd was in 2021 so there could be a lot of reasons why it does not work anymore. But the error message shows that it could not read the ca.pem which i replaced with the one downloaded from the cat tool.
Does iwd expect a specific format?
Offline
Code tags…
PEM is defined in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1422 - iwd cannot expect something different here.
It might struggle w/ the chain, but google doesn't find anybody complaining about that
Is this a mere file permisison problem?

I tried with multiple different access settings with no luck.

Incl. the number of the beast? (666)
Semi-related, did you get the previous pem from the same surce (https://cat.eduroam.org/) or eg. your campus IT?
Offline
With this you meant to set the access to 666? If so I tried and unfortunately it did not help.
Incl. the number of the beast? (666)
Yes I used the same tool but back then it was a different version but I remember also copying the certificate.
Offline
Maybe you should provide an entire log covering the attempt to to load the ca.pem and connect to eudroam:
For the curent boot:
sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Sorry for the late response. Here is the journal:

Why is the iwd PID < the NM PID?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … Fi_backend
Offline
Okay thanks fixed it. It was a weird mix from having the iwd enabled + somehow i put the certificate in parenthesis and thus could not be loaded. So a working config for me is this:
[Security]
EAP-Method=PEAP
EAP-Identity=anonymous@uni-domain
EAP-PEAP-CACert=/var/lib/iwd/ca.pem
EAP-PEAP-ServerDomainMask=uni_radius
EAP-PEAP-Phase2-Method=MSCHAPV2
EAP-PEAP-Phase2-Identity=username@uni-auth-domain
EAP-PEAP-Phase2-Password=password[Settings]
AutoConnect=true
Offline
(parenthesis) or "quotes"?
Did the config say
EAP-PEAP-CACert=(/var/lib/iwd/ca.pem)
??
Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

Yeah i meant quotes sorry.
