[Bug 1472734] Re: WPA2 Enterprise setup has issues

 

** Description changed:

- STEPS:
+ current build number: 51
+ device name: arale
+ channel: ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/meizu.en
+ last update: 2015-07-08 16:34:56
+ version version: 51
+ version ubuntu: 20150708
+ version device: 20150703-d6bcc69
+ version custom: 20150602-731-5-32
+ 
  1. Enable wpa2 enterprise on your router and setup a freeradius server and connect the router to it https://dani33l.wordpress.com/2014/11/ is the guide I used
  2. On the phone drag down the indicator-network and select the ep network
  3. Select Security to wpa & wpa2 enterprise
  4. Change Authentication to PEAP
  5. Inner set to MSCHAPv2
  6. None for ca cert
  7. PEAP automatic
  8. Username add the user you set up on the server
  9. Password add the password you set on the server but add a one to the end of it
  
- EXPECTED:
- I expect there to be some sort of warning that I did something wrong
- 
  ACTUAL:
  The indicator pops up the standard wifi password for the system, this in no way impacts the enterprise setup so just confuses the user into adding a password that is never accepted
  
  Another side effect of this is that if you go back and correct the
  password in the initial setup it will still ask for a password any time
  you reconnect even though it isn't needed.
  
+ EXPECTED:
+ I expect there to be some sort of warning that I did something wrong
+ 
+ <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#wi-fi-connecting-dialog>: "If
+ connection authentication fails, the dialog should open if was not open
+ already ... On phone, it should have body text “Your authentication
+ details were incorrect.”"
+ 
  TEMPORARY WORKAROUND:
  If you should mess up the setup just forget the network and then add it again correctly and all is well in the world.
