If a Registrar tries to configure the AP, but fails to validate the
device password (AP PIN), lock the AP setup after four failures. This
protects the AP PIN against brute force guessing attacks.
This optional configuration parameter can be used to override AP
Settings attributes in M7 similarly to extra_cred option for Credential
attribute(s) in M8.
Buffalo WHR-G125 Ver.1.47 seems to send EAP-WPS packets with too short
EAPOL header length field (14 octets regardless of EAP frame length).
This is fixed in firmware Ver.1.49, but the broken version is included
in many deployed APs. As a workaround, fix the EAPOL header based on the
correct length in the EAP packet. This workaround can be disabled with
eap_workaround=0 option in the network configuration.
Some WPS APs do not set Selected Registrar attribute to 1 properly when
using an external Registrar. Allow such an AP to be selected for PIN
registration after couple of scan runs that do not find APs marked with
Selected Registrar = 1. This allows wpa_supplicant to iterate through
all APs that advertise WPS support without delaying connection with
implementations that set Selected Registrar = 1 properly.
WPS spec is not very specific on the presentation used for the DH
values. The Public Key attribute is described to be 192 octets long, so
that could be interpreted to imply that other places use fixed length
presentation for the DH keys. Change the DH derivation to use fixed
length bufferd by zero padding them from beginning if needed. This can
resolve infrequent (about 1/256 chance for both Public Key and Shared
Key being shorter) interop issues.
This is needed to allow external Registrar (at least the implementation
in Windows Vista) to configure the Enrollee.
With this patch and my previous patch (for wps.c) , I could pass "Wi-Fi
WPS Test Plan Version 1.0 [5.1.4. Add to AP using PIN Config method and
PASS PHRASE through wired external registrar]".
I can't pass the "Wi-Fi WPS Test Plan Version 1.0 [5.1.4. Add to AP
using PIN Config method and PASS PHRASE through wired external
registrar]". The wpa_supplicant-0.6.7 can't recoginize the testbed
AP(BCM94704AGRRev-E.2.4) as WPS PIN AP. Because after PIN entered, the
AP sends Selected Registrar attribute=0 and not send Device Password ID
attribute.
The proposed change as-is removed validation of Selected Registrar
attribute completely. However, that part is not included in this commit
since it can cause problems for environments with multiple WPS-enabled
APs. Another workaround for this will be considered in wpa_supplicant
scanning process (e.g., start trying to use WPS with APs that do not set
Selected Registrar to TRUE after couple of scan runs that do not find
any APs with Selected Registrar TRUE).
Do not initialize EAPOL state machine for the STA when hostapd is
configured to use WPS with open or shared WEP networks. This allows the
STA to use EAPOL-Start to indicate it wants to start WPS in such a case
and hostapd does not end up running through EAPOL authentication timeout
and disconnecting the STA if WPS is not used.
There was already code for starting EAPOL state machines based on
received EAPOL packets, but that was not working properly since
portEnabled was not set to TRUE on that code path. This is now fixed,
too.
This operation can now be moved into an external program by configuring
hostapd with wps_cred_processing=1 and skip_cred_build=1. A new
ctrl_iface message (WPS-REG-SUCCESS <Enrollee MAC addr> <UUID-E>) will
be used to notify external programs of each successful registration and
that can be used as a tricker to move from unconfigured to configured
state.
This behaves like the one in wpa_supplicant, i.e., hostapd can be
configured not to process new credentials (AP settings) internally and
instead pass the WPS attributes for an external program to process over
ctrl_iface.
The default interval is now 5 seconds (used to be 1 second for
interactive mode and 2 seconds for wpa_cli -a). The interval can be
changed with -G<seconds> command line option.
The separate Association Comeback Time IE was removed from IEEE 802.11w
and the Timeout Interval IE (from IEEE 802.11r) is used instead. The
editing on this is still somewhat incomplete in IEEE 802.11w/D7.0, but
still, the use of Timeout Interval IE is the expected mechanism.
The wps_cred_process option can be used to configure wpa_supplicant to
send received Credential attributes for external processing over
ctrl_iface and dbus. This allows external programs to update their
configuration when WPS is used to provision new networks.
This makes it easier to pass the credential data to external programs
(e.g., Network Manager) for processing. The actual use of this data is
not yet included in hostapd/wpa_supplicant.
The current implementation does not support WPA/WPA2-Enterprise
credentials. Ignore any credential that is using unsupported
authentication type to avoid potential issues with partially configured
network blocks.
Must not set pairwise_cipher/group_cipher for non-WPA/WPA2 networks
since the configuration parser is going to reject such values. In
addition, should not limit group_cipher to just TKIP or TKIP|CCMP just
in case the AP is using WEP as the group cipher. Default group_cipher
value can be used for all cases.
RSN IBSS uses authentication per-STA and that is initialized separately,
so there is no need to enable the per-BSS like authentication that is
used with APs.
This makes wpa_gui remember whether it was only in the tray when the
session was terminated and starts only in the tray if session manager
restarts it automatically.
This commit adds a new build option, CONFIG_IBSS_RSN=y, that can be used
to enable RSN support for IBSS. This links in RSN Authenticator code
from hostapd and adds code for managing per-peer information for IBSS. A
new wpa_cli command or driver event can be used to request RSN
authentication with an IBSS peer. New RSN Authenticator and Supplicant
will be allocated for each peer.
The basic state machine setup code is included in this commit, but the
state machines are not properly started yet. In addition, some of the
callback functions are not yet complete.
Do not add the automatically generated RADIUS attributes NAS-IP-Address,
Calling-Station-Id, Framed-MTU, NAS-Port-Type, and Connect-Info if -N
option is used with the same attribute type. This allows these
attributes to be replaced without causing duplicate entries.
This is needed for airo driver to work correctly and no other driver
seems to care, so the change is safe to make. This has been in number of
distro releases for a long time and no issues have been reported.
