The Debian package checker "lintian" was making noise about wpa_supplicant.conf(5). It was caused by a line beginning with ', which is apparently not liked by man(1). I suggest the use of <emphasis>word</emphasis> where 'word' is used at the moment. Signed-off-by: Kel Modderman <kel@otaku42.de>

<para><command>wpa_supplicant</command> is configured using a text
|
|
file that lists all accepted networks and security policies,
|
|
including pre-shared keys. See the example configuration file,
|
|
probably in <command>/usr/share/doc/wpa_supplicant/</command>, for
|
|
detailed information about the configuration format and supported
|
|
fields.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>All file paths in this configuration file should use full
|
|
(absolute, not relative to working directory) path in order to allow
|
|
working directory to be changed. This can happen if wpa_supplicant is
|
|
run in the background.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Changes to configuration file can be reloaded be sending
|
|
SIGHUP signal to <command>wpa_supplicant</command> ('killall -HUP
|
|
wpa_supplicant'). Similarly, reloading can be triggered with
|
|
the <emphasis>wpa_cli reconfigure</emphasis> command.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Configuration file can include one or more network blocks,
|
|
e.g., one for each used SSID. wpa_supplicant will automatically
|
|
select the best network based on the order of network blocks in
|
|
the configuration file, network security level (WPA/WPA2 is
|
|
preferred), and signal strength.</para>

<para>Some EAP authentication methods require use of
|
|
certificates. EAP-TLS uses both server side and client
|
|
certificates whereas EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS only require the server
|
|
side certificate. When client certificate is used, a matching
|
|
private key file has to also be included in configuration. If the
|
|
private key uses a passphrase, this has to be configured in
|
|
wpa_supplicant.conf ("private_key_passwd").</para>

<para>wpa_supplicant supports X.509 certificates in PEM and DER

formats. User certificate and private key can be included in the

|
|
|
|
<para>If the user certificate and private key is received in
|
|
PKCS#12/PFX format, they need to be converted to suitable PEM/DER
|
|
format for wpa_supplicant. This can be done, e.g., with following
|
|
commands:</para>
|
|
<blockquote><programlisting>
|
|
# convert client certificate and private key to PEM format
|
|
openssl pkcs12 -in example.pfx -out user.pem -clcerts
|
|
# convert CA certificate (if included in PFX file) to PEM format
|
|
openssl pkcs12 -in example.pfx -out ca.pem -cacerts -nokeys
|
