 +====== Set up Wi-Fi on Linux – Ubuntu, NetworkManager, wpa_supplicant ======
  
 +===== Ubuntu, NetworkManager =====
 +
 +When using a GUI, it is likely that you use NetworkManager for network configuration.
 +
 +<note important>
 +**It is important to set up RADIUS server identity verification, as it will give you protection against rogue Wi-Fi access points and protect your password as well.** That is why you should take the time to set your Wi-Fi connection properly. You will find verified walkthrough below.
 +</note>
 +
 +  - Run command ''nm-connection-editor'' (Advanced Network Configuration).
 +  - Expand the **Wi-Fi** category and look if you already have an existing Sincoolka profile - it might be a good idea to remove it with a **-** button (minus sign) if it does not work. \\ {{:en:verejne:sit:wi-fi:ubuntu-nm-step1.png?nolink|}}
 +  - Then, click the **+** button (plus sign) in the bottom toolbar.
 +  - In the **Choose a Connection Type** window, pick **Wi-Fi** from the list. Then click the **Create...** button \\ {{:en:verejne:sit:wi-fi:ubuntu-nm-step2.png?nolink|}}
 +  - A window for describing network configuration will open.
 +     * Fill out the name of the profile (can be anything, e.g. Sincoolka).
 +     * Switch to the **Wi-Fi** tab and fill out these - **SSID**: ''Sincoolka'' or ''Sincoolka 5G''. From the **Devices** list, choose your Wi-Fi adapter. \\ {{:en:verejne:sit:wi-fi:ubuntu-nm-profile-wifi.png?nolink|}}
 +     * Switch to the **Wi-Fi Security** tab and set up the following:
 +       * **Security**: WPA2-Enterprise
 +       * **Authentication**: Tunneled TLS
 +       * **Anonymous identity**: ''anonymous@sin.cvut.cz''
 +       * **Domain**: ''radius.sin.cvut.cz''
 +       * **CA certificate**: either browse to ''/etc/ssl/certs/USERTrust_RSA_Certification_Authority.pem'', or [[en:verejne:sit:cert|download and save it]] (download format PEM)
 +       * **Inner authentication**: PAP
 +       * **Username**: use your SIN username or SIN email (find it after logging in to [[https://sinis.sin.cvut.cz|SINIS]])
 +       * **Password**: the same as for your SINIS login. \\ {{:en:verejne:sit:wi-fi:ubuntu-nm-profile-sec.png?nolink|}}
 +     * Confirm your settings by pushing the **Save** button.
 +
 +<note important>The picture has the certificate wrong! It's for illustration purposes only.</note>
 +
 +Now, your connection should be all set for secure Wi-Fi browsing.
 +
 +===== wpa_supplicant =====
 +
 +WPA Supplicant is an utility which enables WPA security support for Wi-Fi in Linux. NetworkManager uses wpa_supplicant internally.
 +
 +In case you want to set up a wpa_supplicant profile manually, we have prepared a Sincoolka network definition below. 
 +
 +To properly verify that you are using our server, the CA certificate is necessary. It should be already on your system at path ''/etc/ssl/certs/USERTrust_RSA_Certification_Authority.pem'', so this configuration will use that. If you don't have it there, you may [[en:verejne:sit:cert|download it from us]] and save it. You will then enter the path to this file in the wpa_supplicant configuration profile.
 +
 +<file wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant.conf>
 +network={
 +    ssid="Sincoolka"  # or Sincoolka 5G
 +    scan_ssid=1
 +    key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
 +    eap=TTLS
 +    # path to the downloaded CA certificate
 +    ca_cert="/etc/ssl/certs/USERTrust_RSA_Certification_Authority.pem"
 +    domain_match="radius.sin.cvut.cz"
 +    phase2="auth=PAP"
 +    pairwise=CCMP
 +    group=CCMP
 +    
 +    # Your credentials
 +    identity="jiri.novak@sin.cvut.cz"
 +    anonymous_identity="anonymous@sin.cvut.cz"
 +    password="YourStr0ngPa$$word"
 +}

 +===== iwd =====
 +
 +//Contributed by our member Artem Poliakov (poliaart <at> fit.cvut.cz)! Thanks!//
 +
 +[[https://iwd.wiki.kernel.org/|iwd]] is a wireless daemon for Linux which aims to utilize features provided by the Linux Kernel to the maximum extent
 +possible. It can work in standalone mode or in combination with comprehensive network managers.
 +
 +If you want to connect to Wi-Fi using iwd, you need to place file called ''Sincoolka.8021x'' or ''Sincoolka 5G.8021x''
 +(depending on which network you'd like to connect) under ''/var/lib/iwd'' directory. The suggested contents can be found below.
 +
 +To properly verify that you are using our server, the CA certificate is necessary. It should be already on your system at path ''/etc/ssl/certs/USERTrust_RSA_Certification_Authority.pem'', so this configuration will use that. If you don't have it there, you may [[en:verejne:sit:cert|download it from us]] and save it. You will then enter the path to this file in the wpa_supplicant configuration profile.
