Question on HS20, possibly realm related.

[Ben Greear]

I've been testing out some different HS20 configurations on hostapd and wpa_supplicant.

I notice something that seems strange to me.  If I don't configure a user-name in
supplicant, it will not attempt to connect to the AP, but it does not actually matter
what I choose for the user-name..it just needs to exist.

In both cases, hostapd config file looks like this:

interface=vap0
driver=nl80211
logger_syslog=-1
logger_syslog_level=2
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=2

The working wpa_supplicant config looks like this:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
fast_reauth=1
can_scan_one=1
min_scan_gap=5

# 802.11u / Interworking configuration.
interworking=1
auto_interworking=1
access_network_type=0

# HotSpot 2.0 configuration
hs20=1

bss_max_count=2000
network={
     interworking_defaults=1
     disable_ht=0
     disable_ht40=0
     disable_sgi=0
     ht_mcs=""
     disable_max_amsdu=-1
     ampdu_factor=-1
     ampdu_density=-1

}

cred={
     username="client"
     password="lanforge"
     ca_cert="/home/lanforge/ca.pem"
     private_key="/home/lanforge/client.p12"
     private_key_passwd="lanforge"
     realm="lanforge.org"
     domain="lanforge.org"
     eap=TLS

}


But, if I remove that 'username="client"', the interworking code will fail its EAP selection.

If I change 'client' to anything else, it still works...so it does not actually seem to be
using that field for anything useful...


Any ideas on this?

Thanks,
Ben
