How to connect to WPA2/PEAP/MSCHAPv2 enterprise wifi networks that don't use a CA_Certificate, like Eduroam

My university uses WPA2 Enterprise encryption for students to login their wireless. In NetworkManager I have keyed in everything that they needed

• Security : WPA & WPA2 Enterprise
• Authentication : Protected EAP (PEAP)
• CA certificate is not needed
• PEAP version : Automatic
• Inner authentication : MSCHAPv2
• Username and Password are correct.

Everytime I try to connect, I get a window asking me to input my password over and over again

Solution 1:

There is a bug report here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1104476

A workaround is to remove the line

system-ca-cert=true

from the configuration file found in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/

Solution 2:

Here's a work around.

1. Open a terminal (Alt + F2) and run the following commands:

   cd /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections
   sudo touch SSID #SSID is the name of the profile, e.g. eduroam
   sudo nano SSID
   

2. Then edit the "SSID" profile as following:

   [ipv6]
   method=auto
   
   [connection]
   id=SSID #(e.g.EDUroam)
   uuid=9e123fbc-0123-46e3-97b5-f3214e123456 #unique uuid will be created upon creation of this profile
   type=802-11-wireless
   
   [802-11-wireless-security]
   key-mgmt=wpa-eap
   auth-alg=open
   
   [802-11-wireless]
   ssid=SSID
   mode=infrastructure
   mac-address=0A:12:3C:DA:C1:A5
   security=802-11-wireless-security
   
   [802-1x]
   eap=peap;
   identity=studentid123123
   phase2-auth=mschapv2
   password=mypass123123
   
   [ipv4]
   method=auto
   

Modify the above file and it should work.
