Wicd Template for University of Leipzig

Here’s a wicd template for the EAP-TTLS + PAP setup at the University of Leipzig. This was just a small customization of the template from Shawn MacLean, so all credit goes to him. Create the file /etc/wicd/encryption/templates/eap-ttls containing:

name = EAP-TTLS with PAP
author = Shawn MacLean
version = 1
require identity *Identity password *Password ca_cert *Path_to_CA_Cert
-----
network={
    ssid="$_ESSID"
    scan_ssid="$_SCAN"
    proto=WPA
    key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
    pairwise=TKIP
    group=TKIP
    eap=TTLS
    ca_cert="$_CA_CERT"
    identity="$_IDENTITY"
    password="$_PASSWORD"
    phase2="auth=PAP"
}

Add eap-ttls to /etc/wicd/encryption/templates/active, restart the GUI and the settings should now appear in the dropdown menu.

  • I did know about these wicd templates. Can one use them to connect via 3G modem?

  • These wicd templates are really fill-in-the-blank templates for wpa_supplicant.conf. You’ll need to have some wireless network to connect to. Does the 3G modem appear as a wired interface in the wicd gui (or appear at all)?
