New NM 802.1x connection - missing feature

Hi,

At the offices of one of my clients I should be able to connect to the internal 802.1x wifi network, however I'm missing a checkbox under the NetworkManager wifi security tab which I'm supposed to enable. The feature I should enable is labelled "No CA certificate is required".
This is supposedly working with Debian and Fedora, however on my machine there is no such checkbox present under the Wi-Fi security tab. The checkbox should be located under the file selection dialog box of the CA certificate.
I've checked the NetworkManager documentation and I cannot find anything relevant regarding this option. So I'm wondering if this is related to the version of NetworkManager I have?
Also, I cannot find or set this option using nmcli.
I've got the following related packages installed:

networkmanager 1.20.0-1
networkmanager-openconnect 1.2.6-1
networkmanager-qt 5.61.0-1
networkmanager-strongswan 1.4.5-1
nm-connection-editor 1.8.22-1

Any suggestions?

Same situation here. Any followup since 2019?

You really don't want to connect to such a network without certificate validation. Anyone could set up the same SSID and collect your credentials.

If you use iwd, it can dump the CA chain which you could apply after checking it's validity.

Recent versions of nm-connection-editor and networkmanager support this option.
