Eduroam and IEEE8021x

For these type of networks a provisioning file must be created before trying to establish a connection in the WiFi tab. These provisioning files are located in /var/lib/connman and require root privileges to create and edit.

CMST provides a root helper that will allow you to create, edit and save provisioning files. Any file created by CMST will end with .cmst.config. CMST will also only allow editing of files with the same ending. To access the provisioning editor go to the Preferences tab in the main interface and put a check in the Advanced check box. This will cause a new button in the lower left hand corner to appear, called Provisioning Editor. Clicking that button will bring up this dialog.

The main box is a traditional but simple text editor. This editor will accept cut and paste entries, and you may type anything here.

Provisioning files can contain a tremendous amount of information and settings. The first three menu entries across the top will assist in creating any of the main sections of the file. These items are for very advanced users who know and understand the layout of a provisioning file. Where possible the selections from these menu entries have validation checks.

Not one of them is actually needed for Eduroam. Rather go to the last entry, Templates, and select one of the templates to seed the dialog with. The dialog is shown with the Eduroam (long) template selected. Once you've seeded the editor box make what changes you need and then save
