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:
Fix Released
Bug description:
* Impact
Selecting AES-{192,256}-CBC keys to connect isn't working
* Test case
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.
That should work
* Regression potential
That's new code for an extra type of keys, it shouldn't impact
existing options
--------------
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.
