One sane solution would be to let the user choose whether to use the system CA certs or not. KDE's network manager applet already does this.
I have a patch ready that adds this functionality. For package network- manager-applet. Tested working on ArchLinux, but there are no changes in Ubuntu's 9.8.0 and Arch's 9.8.4 among the parts of code that this patch touches. My university is in the process of testing out 802.1x for wired networks, but this bug is a major bottleneck right now as many people here use Ubuntu 13.04. ** Patch added: "Lets user choose whether to use system CA certs or not." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1104476/+attachment/3881279/+files/system-ca-certs.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1104476 Title: Network manager cannot connect to WPA2/PEAP/MSCHAPv2 network without CA_Certificate To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager/+bug/1104476/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
