How do I remove the 802.1X settings in Mountain Lion
I made a stupid 802.1X settings file some time ago to test some things. Now I am unable to remove it, even though I think I have deleted the file.
The picture below shows the 802.1X profile to the bottom right. How do I delete this profile? I've tried removing the ethernet with the minus sign in the left menu, but once I try to make a new ethernet profile, that 802.1X setting shows up as the standard.
Here is the picture of the 802.1X settings:
Solution 1:
The 802.1X configuration is protected with Keychain
.
To remove it, select a network configuration which isn't using your 802.1X setting.
Then open Keychain Access
(within Applications/Utilities
).
Unlock it. Select the login
keychains, and search for labsenteret_peap
which should be of kind 802.1X Password
.
Select it, remove it.
Quit Keychain Access
.
Modify your network configuration.
And to help you manage these network configuration in the future,
give it a name better than Location (9/13/12 9:48AM)
.
For example:
lab. connection / Ethernet
Solution 2:
Try System Preferences > Profiles
. It listed my 802.1X profiles and I was able to remove them from there.
Alternatively, you can manually edit configuration files in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
(see this post) - grep
the files located there for the name of your profile.
(Using OS X Mavericks)
(Profiles is located in the second row from the bottom)
Solution 3:
If you open the dropdown, you can choose edit, there you can create a new location. In the new location, all settings should be on default, so your 802.1X setting shouldn't be there anymore.
