Title:
Support 802.1x auth requirement detection and fallback
Status in NetworkManager:
Confirmed
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
NetworkManager asks for 802.1x user name and password when there is no
802.1x support on switch port.
Background:
We use 802.1x wired authentication on our campus network.
NetworkManager does not fall back nicely when connecting to a non-
authenticated switch.
What happens:
NetworkManager asks for user name and password when "Use 802.1x
security" is selected in the connection editor and the computer is
connected to an unauthenticated port.
What should happen:
Network manager should notice that the port is not access-controlled
and do one of the following: (1) ask for connecting unauthenticated or
(2) connect unauthenticated without asking.
There should be a setting for selecting #1 or #2.
Now the user is asked about information which has no effect on
completing the connection.
