1 Connman configuration file format
2 *********************************
4 Connman uses configuration files to provision existing services. Connman will
5 be looking for its configuration files at STORAGEDIR which by default points
6 to /var/lib/connman/. Configuration file names must not include other
7 characters than letters or numbers and must have a .config suffix.
8 Those configuration files are text files with a simple format and we typically
9 have one file per provisioned network.
15 These files can have an optional global entry describing the actual file.
16 The 2 allowed fields for that entry are:
17 - Name: Name of the network.
18 - Description: Description of the network.
19 - Protected: Configuration protection against being removed, modified or
20 overwritten by a Manager.ProvisionService() call. By default, a configuration
24 Service entry [service_*]
25 =========================
27 Each provisioned service must start with the [service_*] tag. Replace * with
28 your service identifier.
29 The service identifier can be anything and will be used internally by connman
30 to store the different services into an hash table.
33 - Type: Service type. We currently only support wifi.
34 - SSID: An hexadecimal or a string representation of a 802.11 SSID.
35 - EAP: EAP type. We currently only support tls, ttls or peap.
36 - CACertFile: File path to CA certificate file (PEM/DER).
37 - ClientCertFile: File path to client certificate file (PEM/DER).
38 - PrivateKeyFile: File path to client private key file (PEM/DER/PFX).
39 - PrivateKeyPassphrase: Password/passphrase for private key file.
40 - PrivateKeyPassphraseType: We only support the fsid passphrase type for now.
41 This is for private keys generated by using their own filesystem UUID as the
42 passphrase. The PrivateKeyPassphrase field is ignored when this field is set
44 - Identity: Identity string for EAP.
45 - Phase2: Phase2 (inner authentication with TLS tunnel) authentication method.
46 Prefix the value with "EAP-" to indicate the usage of an EAP-based inner
47 authentication method (should only be used with EAP = TTLS).
48 - Passphrase: RSN/WPA/WPA2 Passphrase
54 This is a configuration file for a network providing EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS and
56 The respective SSIDs are tls_ssid, ttls_ssid and peap_ssid and the file name
58 Please note that the SSID entry is for hexadecimal encoded SSID (e.g. "SSID =
59 746c735f73736964"). If your SSID does not contain any exotic character then
60 you should use the Name entry instead (e.g. "Name = tls_ssid").
