Title:
  Lightdm asks for wireless password for eduroam on each start

Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu:
  Happens on Ubuntu 14.04 amd64, Ubuntu 14.10 amd64
  2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
  uptodate 14.10 package
  3) What you expected to happen
  Save the password of the wireless eduroam (PEAP/MSCHAPv2 without CA certificate) network when entered on lightdm
  4) What happened instead

  The problem I have is connected with my university's eduroam wireless
  network. When I connect to it the first time I have to choose PEAP and
  MSCHAPv2, when I want to save the connection it tells about the
  missing CA certificate, so I tell it to ignore it. This works fine but
  when I start up the system in lightdm I get asked to reinsert the
  password of the eduroam connection, but even when I insert the
  password and click on ignore the CA certificate message I have to do
  this procedure on each restart of the system.

  I'm not alone with this problem:
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/516406/ubuntu-14-04-disable-automatic-
  network-connection-until-after-login /
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-
  applet/+bug/1104476/comments/156 - So my problem is somehow related to
  this bugreport ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-
  manager-applet/+bug/1104476 ), when ignoring the CA certificate
  message it will connect but not save the password at the login-screen.

  So how do I get rid of this nagging request at each login?

  A user on askubuntu.com told me to file a bug report (

  password-for-eduroam-on-each-start )
