This "bug" has a huge impact on us. We have 20 netbook's with around 400 potential users of each netbook. Netbooks are "rented" by our students at our library. Students are expected to use their own credentials to connect to "eduroam" per eduroam's terms of use. It's very impractical to make 400 local user accounts for each student on every netbook and new/old accounts have to be added/deleted often. The netbooks currently have Windows installed but we would like to make a transition to Linux and this "bug" is a show stopper for us.
We'd like to be able to just define parameters like "Security", "Authentication", "CA certificate" and "Inner authentication" for "eduroam" connection and leave "Username" and "Password" fields blank. That way every student will be asked for both it's username and password when connecting to "eduroam" and ideally username and password should never be remembered/stored. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-applet in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989036 Title: Not possible to change username for connection WPA2 Enterprise TTLS with option "Ask for this password every time" Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: release: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS package: network-manager-gnome 0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2 now we are using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with network-manager 0.8.4 from https://launchpad.net/~network-manager/+archive/ppa wireless connection WPA2 Enterprise TTLS configured for asking password every time every user, when connecting can enter own username and password in dialog window i try do that on 12.04, all looks good when i create connection but after reconnecting i can't enter another username in dialog window username entry not editable, only password can be entered i must run nm-connection-editor for changing username a lot of people use same pc, and every must edit connection to enter own username on 10.04 it worked perfectly without editing the connection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/989036/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
