[Bug 1339607] Re: "Unencrypted private keys are insecure" message is vague and unhelpful
I confirm this bug with an encrypted key. In my case the problem was that the keyfile was inside a drive that was not mounted at boot. So nm- applet tried to open a non-existent file, and the result was an error message saying the key is not encrypted.

Kitsab, you saved me. I can confirm that the issue has disappeared for me as well after disabling home-folder encryption.

[Bug 1339607] Re: "Unencrypted private keys are insecure" message is vague and unhelpful
Hello, a few days ago I incientially found a way to resolve the issue on my ubuntu 16.04 machine. For me the issue appeared as a popup every time the lightdm login screen was loaded. As I added another user I moved the certificate folder which contains the certificates from my encrypted home folder the a subfolder of root ie. /mycertsfolder/certificatefile.cer, the issue was gone. The reason I did this was the encrypted home folder was not readable by the new user that was added. Hopefully this helps best regards Kitsab -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1339607 Title: "Unencrypted private keys are insecure" message is vague and unhelpful To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1339607/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1339607] Re: "Unencrypted private keys are insecure" message is vague and unhelpful
I'm also seeing this issue on xenial. Looking at the source package, the
message is generated in wireless-security/eap-method-tls.c:
/* Warn the user if the private key is unencrypted */
if (!eap_method_is_encrypted_private_key (filename)) {
[...]
gtk_message_dialog_format_secondary_text (GTK_MESSAGE_DIALOG
(dialog),
"%s",
_("The selected
private key does not appear to be protected by a password. This could allow
your security credentials to be compromised. Please select a
password-protected private key.\n\n(You can password-protect your private key
with openssl)"));
[...]
}
However, this is highly misleading, since
eap_method_ins_encrypted_private_key() returns false for various other
reasons, in particular when the file cannot be opened or has the wrong
extension.

Can confirm the regression for 16.04. Network manager started to complain about private key not beeing password protected but it definitely is.

I mitigated the issue on my system by unchecking "All users may connect to this network" on said Wifi-connection in network manager.

[Bug 1339607] Re: "Unencrypted private keys are insecure" message is vague and unhelpful
I can confirm this too. My private key starts like this: -BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY- Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED DEK-Info: DES-EDE3-CBC,509FB430BEB25072 And I can add my pass phrase to network manager and it will apply without issues. However, if i restart my machine, it will during the lightdm login complain about that the key is unsafe and unencrypted. When i log in the pass phrase is gone and i have to fill it in again.

I confirm the same behavior that Dmitri sees. I have an encrypted private key configured with its password within the Network Manager which belongs to a wifi connection. When that connection is found at boot time, I receive this warning message regardless of whether the key is encrypted, or not.
