Title:
NetworkManager does not support AES-encrypted private keys for WPA
802.1x authentication
Status in NetworkManager:
Confirmed
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
NetworkManager does not appear to support private keys encrypted with
AES. At the very least, it will not validate such a key in nm-util
when setting up a WPA 802.1x TLS wifi connection.
To test:
1. Start with a working (cleartext or DES-3) private key/cert for a network.
Set up a connection and verify that everything works.
2. Re-encrypt the key with AES-256 with this command: "openssl rsa -in
working-key.pem -out aes-key.pem -aes256" (the output should have a line
starting with "DEK-Info: AES-256-CBC,")
3. Delete the settings for the test network and attempt to reconnect using
the new key. Even with the correct passphrase, the "Connect" button will
remain disabled; debugging will determine that nm-util is failing to validate
the private key.
