[Bug 1104476] Re: Network manager cannot connect to WPA2/PEAP/MSCHAPv2 network without CA_Certificate

 

Aravind,

That line is already deleted if you add the connection with the latest
updates to NetworkManager installed.

If you're still having trouble, probably the wrong authentication type is set in the wifi security settings. Default is TTLS, but at least my university (Utrecht University, NL) needs PEAP here for its Eduroam network. The inner authentication is MSCHAPv2 but I think that was right by default.
Settings may be different at your university but I think it's certainly worth giving it a try.
When you are asked for the certificate, choose to ignore it (unless you know which one to specify).

Future questions about this are better asked on a forum instead. This is
a closed bug.

Bug description:
  SRU Justification:
  [Impact]
  When connecting to MPA2/PEAP/MSCHAPv2 wifi networks which do not have a CA Certificate network manager may incorrectly mark the CA certificate as needing verification and fail that verification.

  [Test Case]
  Attempt to connect to a WPA2/PEAP/MSCHAPv2 network without CA_Certificate using Network Manager

  [Regression Potential]
  This has been fixed in Utopic already and it a backport of an upstream patch.

  the bug for workarounds.

  I can connect to Eduroam in 12.10 and any other previous release, but
  not in 13.04. I checked, my name and password are correct, all
  settings are the same as in 12.10.

  security: WPA - WPA2 enterprise
  authentication: protected EAP (PEAP)
  CA certificate: none
  PEAP version: automatic
  inner autentication: MSCHAPv2
