Public bug reported:
This bug was encountered on a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
When connecting to a certificate-authenticated wifi network (WPA/WPA2
Enterprise, authentication TLS) for the first time, the "Wi-Fi Network
Authentication Required" dialogue is displayed, prompting the user to
select their CA and user certificates.
Unexpected behaviour: If any of the files have spaces in their
filenames, after choosing them in the file picker the field is
highlighted by a red box, and the 'Connect' button is greyed out.
This is depicted in the attachment network-authentication-red-box-
spaces-filename.png
There is also no explanation offered for why the red box highlight is
present - no tooltip, no help from pressing F1, no popup, and as far as
I can find no logs.
If you move/rename the file, so there are no spaces in the filename, the
problem is worked around.
The problem is not present on the edit connection dialogue; filenames
with spaces are acceptable there.
The problem was also not present on Ubuntu 16.04, and users who upgrade
from 16.04 to 18.04 will find their connection keeps working. It is only
when creating an entirely new connection (or after forgetting the
connection and recreating it) that the problem dialog appears.
