UConnect Wireless Network - Clientless Authentication
Manual UConnect Configuration for Ubuntu 9.04
Right click the wireless signal icon in the upper right corner and select Edit Connections
Choose the Wireless tab, and click Add
- Enter UConnect in the SSID name field, then click Wireless Security
- Set the following:
Security = WPA & WPA2 Enterprise
Authentication = Protected EAP (PEAP)
Browse to the following directory for the CA Certificate:
/usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/Entrust.net_Secure_Server_CA.crt
Inner Authentication = MSCHAPv2
Enter your uNID and password and click Apply
- If the Allow Access dialogue box appears, click Always Allow
Note: The wireless signal icon will change while authentication is processing.
- You should see the wireless signal icon turn blue and a brief pop-up showing UConnect Connection Established
Alternate Method
You can configure wpa-supplicant via the command line interface to establish the connection. There are several additional steps required to do this but here is the basic info needed to make it work.
Sample conf file in /etc/wpa_supplicant.
network={
ssid="UConnect"
proto=WPA2
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
eap=PEAP
identity="u0123456"
password="my-password"
ca_cert="/usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/Entrust.net_Secure_Server_CA.crt"
subject_match="/C=US/ST=UTAH/L=Salt Lake City/O=University of Utah/OU=OIT/CN=radius01.utah.edu"
# subject_match="/C=US/ST=UTAH/L=Salt Lake City/O=University of Utah/OU=OIT/CN=radius02.utah.edu"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
priority=1
}
Caution: You will want to make sure the conf file is encrypted and has appropriate permissions set.
