Ubuntu – Export WiFi Certificates

certificateswireless

I use Ubuntu in my Laptop. I also have a Nokia N8 phone. To connect N8 to "WPA2 Enterprise WiFi", I need to export some certificate from my laptop.

The page http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=B-2D1QR8C2c explains how to export the necessary certificate from Windows 7. Can you please explain how to export the certificate from Ubuntu?

Simply copying the file in /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla does not work.

Are you sure you installed a digital certificate on Ubuntu to access the wireless? Most people use a password rather than a certificate. If you did install a certificate, then you should be able to go back to where you installed it ( right click networking -> edit connection -> 802.1x security and see what file it points to for the CA certificate.

According to the syncevolution doc, the location of the certificates used to authenticate the server is configurable through 'SSLServerCertificates' configuration property.

This property is set by the 'config.ini' files in the home directory:

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ grep -rIn SSLServerCertificates .config/syncevolution/
.config/syncevolution/default/peers/google-calendar-2/config.ini:# SSLServerCertificates = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt:/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt:/usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
.config/syncevolution/default/peers/google-contacts-2/config.ini:# SSLServerCertificates = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt:/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt:/usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
.config/syncevolution/google-calendar-2/peers/target-config/config.ini:# SSLServerCertificates = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt:/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt:/usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
.config/syncevolution/google-contacts-2/peers/target-config/config.ini:# SSLServerCertificates = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt:/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt:/usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt

So, you can add or edit these configs to additionally point to some .crt in the home dir (which is writable).

Ubuntu – After upgrade to 15.10 Wifi to a corporate network (WPA2) is not working anymore

I got the same issue here: The problem is the wpa_supplicant 2.4 as you can read here: http://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Unified-Wired-Wireless-Access/Internal-radius-server-incompatibility-with-the-new-wpa/td-p/236602

If you do a downgrade to 2.3 this problem will be resolve !
