Re: LEAP Authentification

As far as I know LEAP is no standard, but only a proprietary method. I don't think there's a quick way to implement it. NetSetMan currently supports the following authentifications:
Open, Shared, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2 and WPA2-PSK

I'll put it on the ToDo list, but I have to say that there are a lot of other features that I'd like to implement first. So I wouldn't count on a  implementation near in the future.

Re: LEAP Authentification

You're right the (L)EAP authentification is a propreitary technology but used in many WLAN environments especially in big companies.

I just saw o open source app called Xsupplicant which supports:

    * EAP-MD5
    * LEAP
    * EAP-MSCHAPv2
    * EAP-OTP
    * EAP-PEAP (v0 and v1)
    * EAP-SIM
    * EAP-TLS
    * EAP-TNC
    * EAP-TTLSv0 (PAP/CHAP/MS-CHAP/MS-CHAPv2/EAP)
    * EAP-AKA
    * EAP-GTC
    * EAP-FAST (partial)

maybe you can adapt some things from there...

Re: LEAP Authentification

Now one year later any chance to get EAP authentication working? Please consider it as the EAP is a wide distributed, especially in big companies. :-)

Re: LEAP Authentification

Thanks for staying on track with this.
Well, to be honest, you were the only one requesting LEAP functionality so far. Taking the usual amount of requests for a certain feature into account that's not very much. So in the last year this has never been of a high priority. And as you can see the development never stood still. There's basically always something to do. Having a clean implementation of all the different EAP types will take weeks if not months of developing and testing. So at the moment I don't see a chance to have this implemented soon, unless there's a free or reasonable priced component/library that would solve the whole code problem.
