<title>Overview</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>wpa_cli is a text-based frontend program for interacting
|
|
with wpa_supplicant. It is used to query current status, change
|
|
configuration, trigger events, and request interactive user
|
|
input.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>wpa_cli can show the current authentication status, selected
|
|
security mode, dot11 and dot1x MIBs, etc. In addition, it can
|
|
configure some variables like EAPOL state machine parameters and
|
|
trigger events like reassociation and IEEE 802.1X
|
|
logoff/logon. wpa_cli provides a user interface to request
|
|
authentication information, like username and password, if these
|
|
are not included in the configuration. This can be used to
|
|
implement, e.g., one-time-passwords or generic token card
|
|
authentication where the authentication is based on a
|
|
challenge-response that uses an external device for generating the
|
|
response.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The control interface of wpa_supplicant can be configured to
|
|
allow non-root user access (ctrl_interface GROUP= parameter in the
|
|
configuration file). This makes it possible to run wpa_cli with a
|
|
normal user account.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>wpa_cli supports two modes: interactive and command
|
|
line. Both modes share the same command set and the main
|
|
difference is in interactive mode providing access to unsolicited
|
|
messages (event messages, username/password requests).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Interactive mode is started when wpa_cli is executed without
|
|
including the command as a command line parameter. Commands are
|
|
then entered on the wpa_cli prompt. In command line mode, the same
|
|
commands are entered as command line arguments for wpa_cli.</para>

|
<title>Interactive authentication parameters request</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>When wpa_supplicant need authentication parameters, like
|
|
username and password, which are not present in the configuration
|
|
file, it sends a request message to all attached frontend programs,
|
|
e.g., wpa_cli in interactive mode. wpa_cli shows these requests
|
|
with "CTRL-REQ-<type>-<id>:<text>"
|
|
prefix. <type> is IDENTITY, PASSWORD, or OTP
|
|
(one-time-password). <id> is a unique identifier for the
|
|
current network. <text> is description of the request. In
|
|
case of OTP request, it includes the challenge from the
|
|
authentication server.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The reply to these requests can be given with
|
|
<emphasis>identity</emphasis>, <emphasis>password</emphasis>, and
|
|
<emphasis>otp</emphasis> commands. <id> needs to be copied from
|
|
the matching request. <emphasis>password</emphasis> and
|
|
<emphasis>otp</emphasis> commands can be used regardless of whether
|
|
the request was for PASSWORD or OTP. The main difference between these
|
|
two commands is that values given with <emphasis>password</emphasis> are
|
|
remembered as long as wpa_supplicant is running whereas values given
|
|
with <emphasis>otp</emphasis> are used only once and then forgotten,
|
|
i.e., wpa_supplicant will ask frontend for a new value for every use.
|
|
This can be used to implement one-time-password lists and generic token
|
|
card -based authentication.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Example request for password and a matching reply:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><programlisting>
|
|
CTRL-REQ-PASSWORD-1:Password needed for SSID foobar
|
|
> password 1 mysecretpassword
|
|
</programlisting></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>Example request for generic token card challenge-response:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><programlisting>
|
|
CTRL-REQ-OTP-2:Challenge 1235663 needed for SSID foobar
|
|
> otp 2 9876
|
|
</programlisting></blockquote>
