2012-07-05 09:07:08 Thomas Hood description NetworkManager asks for 802.1x user name and password when there is no 802.1x support on switch port. We use 802.1x wired authentication on our campus network. Network-manager does not fall-back nicely when connecting to a non-authenticated switch. What happens: Network manager asks for user name and password when 802.1x settings are present on network settings and computer is connected to an unauthenticated port. What should happen: Network manager should notice that the port is not access-controlled and do one of the following: ask for connecting unauthenticated or connect unauthenticated without asking. there should be a setting for controlling the behavior when connecting to an unauthenticated port. Now the user is asked about information which has no effect on completing the connection. Ubuntu 10.04 forgets the saved password, but at least 11.10 remembers the old one when presenting the password dialog. NetworkManager asks for 802.1x user name and password when there is no 802.1x support on switch port. Background: We use 802.1x wired authentication on our campus network. NetworkManager does not fall back nicely when connecting to a non-authenticated switch. What happens: NetworkManager asks for user name and password when "Use 802.1x security" is selected in the connection editor and the computer is connected to an unauthenticated port. What should happen: Network manager should notice that the port is not access-controlled and do one of the following: (1) ask for connecting unauthenticated or (2) connect unauthenticated without asking. There should be a setting for selecting #1 or #2. Now the user is asked about information which has no effect on completing the connection.
