Now the question now arises on how to handle the case where the passphrase inside an access point got changed and the next connection attempt will fail. Currently we just request a new passphrase from the user. However the user experience requests prefers to be able to show the user the previous passphrase or at least a starred out version of it. And I tend to agree with this.
What happen if the connection attempt fails because of weak signal?
The idea would be that the agent request adds an informational category and we can provide the old passphrase value. For a single user embedded system this seems to be perfectly reasonable and would make the UI development a lot simpler. So I am all for it. The question that arises is if we might need a main.conf option to disable such behavior in a multi-user setup of for system that have a different security policy. Reason behind is that we do not generally control who registers as an agent. On a single user system it will be always the same user interface, but on a multi-user system this might not be the case.
Is the second user able to use the AP if the AP passphrase does not change? If yes, this means the second user actually owns the AP, whatever he knows the passphrase or not.
