[Bug 1478222] Re: Ubuntu Touch forgets WiFi settings after first connection. EDUROAM network WPA & WPA2 Enterprise

 

Huh, I think this is actually my fault. When I designed the
authentication controls for the various wi-fi authentication types, I
included a "Remember password" checkbox for some of them (TTLS, FAST,
PEAP) but not others (WPA Personal, TLS, LEAP, WEP). I don't know why I
did that. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#wi-fi-authentication-
variations>

So unless anyone can figure out what I knew then that I don't know now,
:-) I'll remove all those "Remember password" checkboxes from the
design. Like muyiwa says, there seems to be little point in remembering
all the authentication details for the network *except* for the
password.

Title:
  Ubuntu Touch forgets WiFi settings after first connection. EDUROAM
  network WPA & WPA2 Enterprise

Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Using WPA & WPA2 Enterprise I connected to the EDUROAM WiFi network with Ubuntu Touch. This works fine. 
  However, when leaving the WiFi range and coming back, Ubuntu Touch will not be able to connect again. It asks again for the password, but the correct password does not work anymore.

  The only (annoying) workaround is to delete "EDUROAM" network from
  "previous networks" in the WiFi setting and then apply all setting
  again. The WiFi access will work then until one leaves the WiFi range
  again.

  Additional info:
  The EDUROAM WiFi network is a unified WiFi network to get access almost any European University. Default set-up is described here: http://www.urz.uni-heidelberg.de/zugang/eduroam/linux_ubuntu.html

  System:
  Ubuntu Touch 15.04(r24). Device-Built: KRILIN01A-S15A_BQ_L100EN_2024_150713
