Ah sorry, Mailing list fail >.< I haven't got access to those files, oh and there is a proxy.pac file on the server. You'll be able to find the location of it by going in windows Network -> Connections -> settings and searching around for it. Otherwise you'll only get local access and access to ngv.vic.gov.au education department, and other govt. sites. I was able to connect to the network with internet after getting the proxy.pac file using a laptop and an ethernet connection. Sorry for the rushed mail, I'm very busy today =) Regards, luke On Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 1:33 PM, Luke Martinez <me@luke.asia> wrote:
I'm watching this thread closely, is anyone able to provide me with the computers.crt .pem and password files. I attend school in victoria and Edustar seems to be consistant across schools. =)
Thanks, Luke

Hi,
I'm attempting to connect my linux laptop to my government school's wifi network via wpa_supplicant.
Firstly, I've been given some instructions for network-manager, which are as follows:
open network manager (probably top right) and manually add a new wireless network
use eduSTAR as the SSID Security: WPA & WPA2 enterprise - (WPA2) Authentication: TLS Identity: host/8808-DDLINUX.services.education.vic.gov.au user certificate: point to extracted folder: computers.crt CA Certificate: point to the extracted folder: cacert.pem Private key: point to the extracted folder: key.pem Password: password
Next I've looked through some example wpasupplicant config files and also consulted man wpa_supplicant.conf And developed the following:
network={ ssid="example wpa2-eap network" key_mgmt=WPA-EAP proto=WPA2 pairwise=CCMP group=CCMP eap=TLS identity="user@example.com" ca_cert="/etc/cert/ca.pem" client_cert="/etc/cert/user.pem" private_key="/etc/cert/user.prv" private_key_passwd="PKCS#12 passhrase" }
Next I modify this file for my school's network according to the instructions I got at the top.
network={ ssid="eduSTAR" key_mgmt=WPA-EAP proto=WPA2 # pairwise=CCMP # group=CCMP eap=TLS identity="host/8808-DDLINUX.services.education.vic.gov.au" ca_cert="/path/to/cacert.pem" client_cert="/path/to/computers.crt" private_key="/path/to/cacert.pem" private_key_passwd="password" }
I'm suspecting this probably won't work though since it's usually the case:) So some questions:
1) HOw do I make this configuration file accurately reflect the configuration for this network, according to the instructions for network-manager? 2. Do I need those lines which I commented out in my final configuration file which has been modified to reflect the information my school provided me (my last paste) 3. The original "private_key" certificate in the raw instructions I got from the man page was a "prv" file. However, my school says to use the .pem file. Will this work? 4. The same is true for client_cert, the original config specifies a "pem" file while my school says to use the "crt" file. Which makes me a bit confused about what to do for 3 and 4.
So does anyone have any ideas how to make this network configuration likely work?
I haven't tested it yet, but I thought I'd try and get it as perfect as I could first before testing since I don't really know what I'm doing :)
Thanks very much for any help.
