Not able to connect to school wifi network in Ubuntu 16.04 - need to edit ca-certificate
My school asks us to do this to connect to the wifi in the ca-certificate
Search for the line:
system-ca-certs=true
Change this line to:
system-ca-certs=false
The problem is that I cannot find this line in the ca-certificate.
I can't connect to the network. A dialogue box pops up every time asking for my user id and password for the school wifi, I enter the right credentials but it doesn't work.
P.S There is no problem in connecting to my home wifi network.
these are [the instructions given by my school][1] for connecting to the wifi
The settings are:
- Security Type: WPA2 Enterprise
- Username: ldap-Username
- Password: ldap-Password
- Authentication: PEAP
- PEAP version: automatic
- Inner authentication: MSCHAPV2
- ca-certificate: none
Note: For Ubuntu 14.04 users-
The ca-certificate settings has to be changed to false. This may be
done in the following way:
Open the file in an editor of your choice:
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/IITB-Wireless
Search for the line:
system-ca-certs=true
Change this line to:
system-ca-certs=false
THIS IS THE CA_CERTIFICATE
