WPA2, EAP-PEAP, MSCHAPV2 password request at log-in screen.

[John L]

I am running 64bit Ubuntu 13.10.

I use a WPA2, EAP-PEAP, MSCHAPV2 wifi network occasionally. When I am within range of this network, at the Ubuntu log-in screen, I am prompted to enter the wifi password for the network. I must select 'Cancel' on the wifi password screen and then can type in my Ubuntu log-in password and proceed. Once I am logged into Ubuntu, I am not asked for the wifi password as it is saved. This only happens on the WPA2, EAP-PEAP, MSCHAPV2 network and never happens on my main network which is simply WPA2.

I would expect that Ubuntu would not prompt me for the wifi password. It seems Ubuntu should just wait until the user is logged in and retreive the saved wifi credentials.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Confirmed on Ubuntu 16.4 LTS 64-bit.

Not sure how changing this would affect situations where it is necessary to connect to a network before a user can log in (such as during OS installations).
