Connman configuration file format ********************************* Connman uses configuration files to provision existing services. Connman will be looking for its configuration files at STORAGEDIR which by default points to /var/lib/connman/. Configuration file names must not include other characters than letters or numbers and must have a .config suffix. Those configuration files are text files with a simple format and we typically have one file per provisioned network. If the config file is removed, then Connman tries to remove the provisioned service. If individual service entry inside config is removed, then the corresponding provisioned service is removed. If service entry is changed, then corresponding service is removed and then immediately re-provisioned. Global entry [global] ===================== These files can have an optional global entry describing the actual file. The 2 allowed fields for that entry are: - Name: Name of the network. - Description: Description of the network. - Protected: Configuration protection against being removed, modified or overwritten by a Manager.ProvisionService() call. If unset, this value defaults to TRUE, i.e. configs are protected by default. Service entry [service_*] ========================= Each provisioned service must start with the [service_*] tag. Replace * with an identifier unique to the config file. Allowed fields: - Type: Service type. We currently only support wifi. - Name: A string representation of an 802.11 SSID. If the SSID field is present, the Name field is ignored. - SSID: A hexadecimal representation of an 802.11 SSID. If the SSID field is omitted, the Name field is used instead. - EAP: EAP type. We currently only support tls, ttls or peap. - CACertFile: File path to CA certificate file (PEM/DER). - ClientCertFile: File path to client certificate file (PEM/DER). - PrivateKeyFile: File path to client private key file (PEM/DER/PFX). - PrivateKeyPassphrase: Password/passphrase for private key file. - PrivateKeyPassphraseType: We only support the fsid passphrase type for now. This is for private keys generated by using their own filesystem UUID as the passphrase. The PrivateKeyPassphrase field is ignored when this field is set to fsid. - Identity: Identity string for EAP. - Phase2: Phase2 (inner authentication with TLS tunnel) authentication method. Prefix the value with "EAP-" to indicate the usage of an EAP-based inner authentication method (should only be used with EAP = TTLS). - Passphrase: RSN/WPA/WPA2 Passphrase Example ======= This is a configuration file for a network providing EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS and EAP-PEAP services. The respective SSIDs are tls_ssid, ttls_ssid and peap_ssid and the file name is example.config. Please note that the SSID entry is for hexadecimal encoded SSID (e.g. "SSID = 746c735f73736964"). If your SSID does not contain any exotic character then you should use the Name entry instead (e.g. "Name = tls_ssid"). example@example:[~]$ cat /var/lib/connman/example.config [global] Name = Example Description = Example network configuration [service_tls] Type = wifi SSID = 746c735f73736964 EAP = tls CACertFile = /home/user/.certs/ca.pem ClientCertFile = /home/user/devlp/.certs/client.pem PrivateKeyFile = /home/user/.certs/client.fsid.pem PrivateKeyPassphraseType = fsid Identity = user [service_ttls] Type = wifi Name = ttls_ssid EAP = ttls CACertFile = /home/user/.cert/ca.pem Phase2 = MSCHAPV2 Identity = user [service_peap] Type = wifi Name = peap_ssid EAP = peap CACertFile = /home/user/.cert/ca.pem Phase2 = MSCHAPV2 Identity = user
