Re: wpa_supplicant eap password

[Victor Dorneanu <victor%dornea.nu@localhost>]

Yes when using WPA/WPA2 with PSK that should work. BUT I use WPA-EAP along with MSCHAPV2. I tried changing password to:

..
phase1="peaplabel=0"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
priority=2
password=a79fddcce2fb9d56e5307abb44cb...
..

but that didn't work. Obviously you *HAVE* to use plaintext passwords. I couldn't find (quick search on google) any site related to this topic.

Any help would be appreciated.


Chers,

Victor

Hi, in wpa_supplicant.conf the password must be unreadable

# wpa_passphrase. 

network={

ssid="mywireless"

#psk="secretpassphrase" this line you can remove

psk=15c8682775e55d210841b7b6a4ce7386c2a8c6bd8295571ccd5bdfae2e22ec96 #this is you password encrypt

#You can add other options

}

You can change permissions on wpa_supplicant.conf 

e.g. chmod 0600 /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to make it readable by root only.
