QUESTION: How to do a COMPUTER NAME (not user name) 802.1x (RADIUS) authentication with wpa_supplicant in Ubuntu 12.04?

Thu Mar 28 18:30:36 PDT 2013

Hi Dan,

I'm not using NM to configure 802.1x. I'm configuring 802.1x with wpa_supplicant directly. And I'm trying to do a computer name authentication. I wonder if wpa_supplicant supports such authentication, and how to do it.

The username widget in NM could input hostname of course, but the password widget must be input also, or the SAVE button is greyed out. However, if I input both username and password, the RADIUS protocol will think I'm doing a user authentication, as is not what I want.

I wonder if I've made my idea clear.

I found that Ubuntu Network Manager only supports username/password for 802.1x authentication. After some googling, I found wpa_supplicant works at the background of Network Manager. > > > > > I checked some guides which stated how to authenticate with domain computer name using wpa_supplicant, but it does not work.

After some configurations, a Windows 7 client can authenticate with domain computer name, through port 16 of the Cisco switch. So the lab environment is OK now. Note: I created a domain user "testadmin" belonging to "Domain Admins" group, and login with this user for all DHCP/NPS/IE-browser logins. > > Fresh install an Ubuntu 12.04 x86 desktop edition to a test client.

Of course, this process is done when the test client is connected to a default-authorized port of the Cisco switch, say port 14. > > Generate proper certificates: > > sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout privcert.pem -out privcert.pem > > sudo openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -nodes -keyout privkey.pem -out certreq.pem > > Copy certreq.pem to DC. Open IE and type http://127.0.0.1/certsrv. Then click in turn: "Request a Certificate", "Advanced Certificate Request", "Submit a certificate request by using a base-64-encoded CMC or ......" (a very long option). Copy certreq.pem content to the "Base-64-encoded certificate request" text box, and select "Administrator" template, and then click "Submit", and then download the "Base 64 encoded" certificate. The certificate filename is certnew.cer. Copy the file certnew.cer back to the Ubuntu test client. > > Copy certnew.cer to /etc/ssl/certs/ubuntu.domain.pem. > > Copy privkey.pem to /etc/ssl/private/. > > Edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, and below it's its content: > > ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant > ctrl_interface_group=0 > eapol_version=1 > ap_scan=0 > network={ > ssid="domaintest" > key_mgmt=IEEE8021X > eap=PEAP > phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2" # whether or not using this option leads the same error. > identity="nps.test/computers/ubuntu" # "nps.test" is FQAN of the test domain.

The only thing that's missing here for NM is the client-cert/private-key property usage with PEAP, which if this is valid, could be added to NM fairly easily.
