[rhelv6-list] WLAN with RHEL6 with auth against Windows ADS

[Kurt Keller]

Hi Andreas,

Here the notes from how I got my Fedora 14 box connected to the
company wireless network. Hope it helps. But you might also need to
talk to your ADS guys to find out what exactly is required in your
specific environment.

* I actually configured the connection in NetworkManager (instructions
might not be completely accurate, as it is documented after the fact
and after quite a number of failures, probably due to an older kernel
version)
                + add a new wireless connection
                      # Security: WPA & WPA2 Enterprise
                      # Authentication: TLS
                      # Identity: <my-user-id>
                      # User Certificate: blank
                      # CA certificate: the file with the chain to the
CA certificate
                      # Private key: the exported key/certificate
combo in pkcs12 format (could not get it to run at all with
certificate and key in pem format)
                      # Private key password: well, the password for
the pkcs12 package
                      # ignore the messages about the private key
being unencrypted (even though it is encrypted)

Cheers,

Kurt
