This affects me also. I work for a big Silicon Valley company with about 30,000 engineers. Mac is probably the majority platform in engineering, but there are a lot of us using Linux, too. This is kind of a big deal. Except for the fact that 802.1x works on wireless, this would be a BIG deal, because if it didn't work on wireless either, my sole option would be to install the corporate Windows image so that I could work, and relegate Ubuntu to a VM in Windows.
I agree with all those who believe this shouldn't be a low-priority bug. It's a serious problem that affects many people using Ubuntu in the workplace. I get that it's an upstream bug, but couldn't Ubuntu fix it and submit the patch upstream? I've been using Ubuntu for 12 years (yeah, I go back a ways; switched from Debian) and this is the works usability problem I've ever encountered. I really, really hope you'll consider fixing it and submitting the patch upstream. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579246 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 nm-applet-Message: No keyring secrets found for Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: If you use a 802.1x autentication in NetworkManager, the NetworkManager never save password on /etc/NetworkManager/system- connections/MySecureNetworkAlias, As a workarround you can add the password manualy in file /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/MySecureNetworkAlias (using $ sudo vi) [802-1x] altsubject-matches= ca-cert=/mycert.cer eap=peap; identity=DOMAIN\\USER password=MyPassword <--- this is the line phase2-altsubject-matches= phase2-auth=mschapv2 The log is: may 06 16:24:06 jared-laptop NetworkManager[976]: <info> [1462569846.8763] device (enp8s0): state change: need-auth -> prepare (reason 'none') [60 40 0] may 06 16:24:06 jared-laptop NetworkManager[976]: <info> [1462569846.8767] device (enp8s0): state change: prepare -> config (reason 'none') [40 50 0] may 06 16:24:06 jared-laptop NetworkManager[976]: <info> [1462569846.8770] device (enp8s0): Activation: (ethernet) connection 'MySecureNetworkAlias' has security, but secrets are required. may 06 16:24:06 jared-laptop NetworkManager[976]: <info> [1462569846.8770] device (enp8s0): state change: config -> need-auth (reason 'none') [50 60 0] may 06 16:24:07 jared-laptop gnome-session[1599]: nm-applet-Message: No keyring secrets found for Produban/802-1x; asking user.
