1 ##### Example wpa_supplicant configuration file ###############################
3 # ***** Please check wpa_supplicant.conf(5) for details on these options *****
5 # This file describes configuration file format and lists all available option.
6 # Please also take a look at simpler configuration examples in 'examples'
9 # Empty lines and lines starting with # are ignored
11 # NOTE! This file may contain password information and should probably be made
12 # readable only by root user on multiuser systems.
14 # Note: All file paths in this configuration file should use full (absolute,
15 # not relative to working directory) path in order to allow working directory
16 # to be changed. This can happen if wpa_supplicant is run in the background.
18 # Whether to allow wpa_supplicant to update (overwrite) configuration
20 # This option can be used to allow wpa_supplicant to overwrite configuration
21 # file whenever configuration is changed (e.g., new network block is added with
22 # wpa_cli or wpa_gui, or a password is changed). This is required for
23 # wpa_cli/wpa_gui to be able to store the configuration changes permanently.
24 # Please note that overwriting configuration file will remove the comments from
28 # global configuration (shared by all network blocks)
30 # Parameters for the control interface. If this is specified, wpa_supplicant
31 # will open a control interface that is available for external programs to
32 # manage wpa_supplicant. The meaning of this string depends on which control
33 # interface mechanism is used. For all cases, the existence of this parameter
34 # in configuration is used to determine whether the control interface is
37 # For UNIX domain sockets (default on Linux and BSD): This is a directory that
38 # will be created for UNIX domain sockets for listening to requests from
39 # external programs (CLI/GUI, etc.) for status information and configuration.
40 # The socket file will be named based on the interface name, so multiple
41 # wpa_supplicant processes can be run at the same time if more than one
43 # /var/run/wpa_supplicant is the recommended directory for sockets and by
44 # default, wpa_cli will use it when trying to connect with wpa_supplicant.
46 # Access control for the control interface can be configured by setting the
47 # directory to allow only members of a group to use sockets. This way, it is
48 # possible to run wpa_supplicant as root (since it needs to change network
49 # configuration and open raw sockets) and still allow GUI/CLI components to be
50 # run as non-root users. However, since the control interface can be used to
51 # change the network configuration, this access needs to be protected in many
52 # cases. By default, wpa_supplicant is configured to use gid 0 (root). If you
53 # want to allow non-root users to use the control interface, add a new group
54 # and change this value to match with that group. Add users that should have
55 # control interface access to this group. If this variable is commented out or
56 # not included in the configuration file, group will not be changed from the
57 # value it got by default when the directory or socket was created.
59 # When configuring both the directory and group, use following format:
60 # DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
61 # DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=0
62 # (group can be either group name or gid)
64 ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
66 # IEEE 802.1X/EAPOL version
67 # wpa_supplicant is implemented based on IEEE Std 802.1X-2004 which defines
68 # EAPOL version 2. However, there are many APs that do not handle the new
69 # version number correctly (they seem to drop the frames completely). In order
70 # to make wpa_supplicant interoperate with these APs, the version number is set
71 # to 1 by default. This configuration value can be used to set it to the new
73 # Note: When using MACsec, eapol_version shall be set to 3, which is
74 # defined in IEEE Std 802.1X-2010.
77 # AP scanning/selection
78 # By default, wpa_supplicant requests driver to perform AP scanning and then
79 # uses the scan results to select a suitable AP. Another alternative is to
80 # allow the driver to take care of AP scanning and selection and use
81 # wpa_supplicant just to process EAPOL frames based on IEEE 802.11 association
82 # information from the driver.
83 # 1: wpa_supplicant initiates scanning and AP selection; if no APs matching to
84 # the currently enabled networks are found, a new network (IBSS or AP mode
85 # operation) may be initialized (if configured) (default)
86 # 0: driver takes care of scanning, AP selection, and IEEE 802.11 association
87 # parameters (e.g., WPA IE generation); this mode can also be used with
88 # non-WPA drivers when using IEEE 802.1X mode; do not try to associate with
89 # APs (i.e., external program needs to control association). This mode must
90 # also be used when using wired Ethernet drivers.
91 # Note: macsec_qca driver is one type of Ethernet driver which implements
93 # 2: like 0, but associate with APs using security policy and SSID (but not
94 # BSSID); this can be used, e.g., with ndiswrapper and NDIS drivers to
95 # enable operation with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; in this mode,
96 # the network blocks in the configuration file are tried one by one until
97 # the driver reports successful association; each network block should have
98 # explicit security policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for
99 # key_mgmt, pairwise, group, proto variables
101 # For use in FreeBSD with the wlan module ap_scan must be set to 1.
103 # When using IBSS or AP mode, ap_scan=2 mode can force the new network to be
104 # created immediately regardless of scan results. ap_scan=1 mode will first try
105 # to scan for existing networks and only if no matches with the enabled
106 # networks are found, a new IBSS or AP mode network is created.
110 # By default, wpa_supplicant implements the mesh peering manager (MPM) for an
111 # open mesh. However, if the driver can implement the MPM, you may set this to
112 # 0 to use the driver version. When AMPE is enabled, the wpa_supplicant MPM is
114 # 0: MPM lives in the driver
115 # 1: wpa_supplicant provides an MPM which handles peering (default)
118 # Maximum number of peer links (0-255; default: 99)
119 # Maximum number of mesh peering currently maintained by the STA.
122 # Timeout in seconds to detect STA inactivity (default: 300 seconds)
124 # This timeout value is used in mesh STA to clean up inactive stations.
125 #mesh_max_inactivity=300
127 # cert_in_cb - Whether to include a peer certificate dump in events
128 # This controls whether peer certificates for authentication server and
129 # its certificate chain are included in EAP peer certificate events. This is
130 # enabled by default.
133 # EAP fast re-authentication
134 # By default, fast re-authentication is enabled for all EAP methods that
135 # support it. This variable can be used to disable fast re-authentication.
136 # Normally, there is no need to disable this.
139 # OpenSSL Engine support
140 # These options can be used to load OpenSSL engines.
141 # The two engines that are supported currently are shown below:
142 # They are both from the opensc project (http://www.opensc.org/)

268 # Maximum number of BSS entries to keep in memory
270 # This can be used to limit memory use on the BSS entries (cached scan
271 # results). A larger value may be needed in environments that have huge number
272 # of APs when using ap_scan=1 mode.
276 # This is an optional set of parameters for automatic scanning
277 # within an interface in following format:
278 #autoscan=<autoscan module name>:<module parameters>
279 # autoscan is like bgscan but on disconnected or inactive state.
280 # For instance, on exponential module parameters would be <base>:<limit>
281 #autoscan=exponential:3:300
282 # Which means a delay between scans on a base exponential of 3,
283 # up to the limit of 300 seconds (3, 9, 27 ... 300)
284 # For periodic module, parameters would be <fixed interval>
285 #autoscan=periodic:30

288 # filter_ssids - SSID-based scan result filtering
289 # 0 = do not filter scan results (default)
290 # 1 = only include configured SSIDs in scan results/BSS table

311 #p2p_passphrase_len=8
313 # Extra delay between concurrent P2P search iterations
315 # This value adds extra delay in milliseconds between concurrent search
316 # iterations to make p2p_find friendlier to concurrent operations by avoiding
317 # it from taking 100% of radio resources. The default value is 500 ms.
318 #p2p_search_delay=500
320 # Opportunistic Key Caching (also known as Proactive Key Caching) default
321 # This parameter can be used to set the default behavior for the
322 # proactive_key_caching parameter. By default, OKC is disabled unless enabled
323 # with the global okc=1 parameter or with the per-network
324 # proactive_key_caching=1 parameter. With okc=1, OKC is enabled by default, but
325 # can be disabled with per-network proactive_key_caching=0 parameter.
328 # Protected Management Frames default
329 # This parameter can be used to set the default behavior for the ieee80211w
330 # parameter. By default, PMF is disabled unless enabled with the global pmf=1/2
331 # parameter or with the per-network ieee80211w=1/2 parameter. With pmf=1/2, PMF
332 # is enabled/required by default, but can be disabled with the per-network
333 # ieee80211w parameter.
336 # Enabled SAE finite cyclic groups in preference order
337 # By default (if this parameter is not set), the mandatory group 19 (ECC group
338 # defined over a 256-bit prime order field) is preferred, but other groups are
339 # also enabled. If this parameter is set, the groups will be tried in the

347 # Default value for Beacon interval (if not overridden in network block)
350 # Additional vendor specific elements for Beacon and Probe Response frames
351 # This parameter can be used to add additional vendor specific element(s) into
352 # the end of the Beacon and Probe Response frames. The format for these
353 # element(s) is a hexdump of the raw information elements (id+len+payload for
354 # one or more elements). This is used in AP and P2P GO modes.

368 # is already associated.
370 # MAC address policy default
371 # 0 = use permanent MAC address
372 # 1 = use random MAC address for each ESS connection
373 # 2 = like 1, but maintain OUI (with local admin bit set)
375 # By default, permanent MAC address is used unless policy is changed by
376 # the per-network mac_addr parameter. Global mac_addr=1 can be used to
377 # change this default behavior.

416 # temporary: Whether this credential is temporary and not to be saved
418 # priority: Priority group
419 # By default, all networks and credentials get the same priority group
420 # (0). This field can be used to give higher priority for credentials
421 # (and similarly in struct wpa_ssid for network blocks) to change the
422 # Interworking automatic networking selection behavior. The matching

437 # This field is used with Interworking networking selection for a case
438 # where client certificate/private key is used for authentication
439 # (EAP-TLS). Full path to the file should be used since working
440 # directory may change when wpa_supplicant is run in the background.

592 # (the first match is used).
594 # network block fields:
597 # 0 = this network can be used (default)
598 # 1 = this network block is disabled (can be enabled through ctrl_iface,
599 # e.g., with wpa_cli or wpa_gui)
601 # id_str: Network identifier string for external scripts. This value is passed
602 # to external action script through wpa_cli as WPA_ID_STR environment
603 # variable to make it easier to do network specific configuration.
605 # ssid: SSID (mandatory); network name in one of the optional formats:
606 # - an ASCII string with double quotation
607 # - a hex string (two characters per octet of SSID)
608 # - a printf-escaped ASCII string P"<escaped string>"
611 # 0 = do not scan this SSID with specific Probe Request frames (default)
612 # 1 = scan with SSID-specific Probe Request frames (this can be used to
613 # find APs that hide (do not broadcast) SSID or use multiple SSIDs;
614 # this will add latency to scanning, so enable this only when needed)
616 # bssid: BSSID (optional); if set, this network block is used only when
617 # associating with the AP using the configured BSSID
619 # priority: priority group (integer)
620 # By default, all networks will get same priority group (0). If some of the
621 # networks are more desirable, this field can be used to change the order in
622 # which wpa_supplicant goes through the networks when selecting a BSS. The
623 # priority groups will be iterated in decreasing priority (i.e., the larger the
624 # priority value, the sooner the network is matched against the scan results).
625 # Within each priority group, networks will be selected based on security
626 # policy, signal strength, etc.
627 # Please note that AP scanning with scan_ssid=1 and ap_scan=2 mode are not
628 # using this priority to select the order for scanning. Instead, they try the
629 # networks in the order that they are listed in the configuration file.
631 # mode: IEEE 802.11 operation mode
632 # 0 = infrastructure (Managed) mode, i.e., associate with an AP (default)
633 # 1 = IBSS (ad-hoc, peer-to-peer)
634 # 2 = AP (access point)
635 # Note: IBSS can only be used with key_mgmt NONE (plaintext and static WEP) and
636 # WPA-PSK (with proto=RSN). In addition, key_mgmt=WPA-NONE (fixed group key
637 # TKIP/CCMP) is available for backwards compatibility, but its use is
638 # deprecated. WPA-None requires following network block options:
639 # proto=WPA, key_mgmt=WPA-NONE, pairwise=NONE, group=TKIP (or CCMP, but not
640 # both), and psk must also be set.
642 # frequency: Channel frequency in megahertz (MHz) for IBSS, e.g.,
643 # 2412 = IEEE 802.11b/g channel 1. This value is used to configure the initial
644 # channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks. It is ignored in the infrastructure mode.
645 # In addition, this value is only used by the station that creates the IBSS. If
646 # an IBSS network with the configured SSID is already present, the frequency of
647 # the network will be used instead of this configured value.
649 # scan_freq: List of frequencies to scan
650 # Space-separated list of frequencies in MHz to scan when searching for this
651 # BSS. If the subset of channels used by the network is known, this option can
652 # be used to optimize scanning to not occur on channels that the network does
653 # not use. Example: scan_freq=2412 2437 2462
655 # freq_list: Array of allowed frequencies
656 # Space-separated list of frequencies in MHz to allow for selecting the BSS. If
657 # set, scan results that do not match any of the specified frequencies are not
658 # considered when selecting a BSS.
660 # This can also be set on the outside of the network block. In this case,
661 # it limits the frequencies that will be scanned.
663 # bgscan: Background scanning
664 # wpa_supplicant behavior for background scanning can be specified by
665 # configuring a bgscan module. These modules are responsible for requesting
666 # background scans for the purpose of roaming within an ESS (i.e., within a
667 # single network block with all the APs using the same SSID). The bgscan
668 # parameter uses following format: "<bgscan module name>:<module parameters>"
669 # Following bgscan modules are available:
670 # simple - Periodic background scans based on signal strength
671 # bgscan="simple:<short bgscan interval in seconds>:<signal strength threshold>:
673 # bgscan="simple:30:-45:300"

814 # plaintext password (using ASCII or hex string) or a NtPasswordHash
815 # (16-byte MD4 hash of password) in hash:<32 hex digits> format.
816 # NtPasswordHash can only be used when the password is for MSCHAPv2 or

821 # be used to indicate that the password is stored in external storage.
822 # ca_cert: File path to CA certificate file (PEM/DER). This file can have one
823 # or more trusted CA certificates. If ca_cert and ca_path are not
824 # included, server certificate will not be verified. This is insecure and
825 # a trusted CA certificate should always be configured when using
826 # EAP-TLS/TTLS/PEAP. Full path should be used since working directory may
827 # change when wpa_supplicant is run in the background.
829 # Alternatively, this can be used to only perform matching of the server
830 # certificate (SHA-256 hash of the DER encoded X.509 certificate). In
831 # this case, the possible CA certificates in the server certificate chain
832 # are ignored and only the server certificate is verified. This is
833 # configured with the following format:
834 # hash:://server/sha256/cert_hash_in_hex
835 # For example: "hash://server/sha256/

838 # On Windows, trusted CA certificates can be loaded from the system
839 # certificate store by setting this to cert_store://<name>, e.g.,
840 # ca_cert="cert_store://CA" or ca_cert="cert_store://ROOT".
841 # Note that when running wpa_supplicant as an application, the user
842 # certificate store (My user account) is used, whereas computer store
843 # (Computer account) is used when running wpasvc as a service.
844 # ca_path: Directory path for CA certificate files (PEM). This path may
845 # contain multiple CA certificates in OpenSSL format. Common use for this
846 # is to point to system trusted CA list which is often installed into
847 # directory like /etc/ssl/certs. If configured, these certificates are
848 # added to the list of trusted CAs. ca_cert may also be included in that
849 # case, but it is not required.
850 # client_cert: File path to client certificate file (PEM/DER)
851 # Full path should be used since working directory may change when
852 # wpa_supplicant is run in the background.
853 # Alternatively, a named configuration blob can be used by setting this
854 # to blob://<blob name>.
855 # private_key: File path to client private key file (PEM/DER/PFX)
856 # When PKCS#12/PFX file (.p12/.pfx) is used, client_cert should be
857 # commented out. Both the private key and certificate will be read from
858 # the PKCS#12 file in this case. Full path should be used since working
859 # directory may change when wpa_supplicant is run in the background.
860 # Windows certificate store can be used by leaving client_cert out and
861 # configuring private_key in one of the following formats:
862 # cert://substring_to_match
863 # hash://certificate_thumbprint_in_hex
864 # for example: private_key="hash://63093aa9c47f56ae88334c7b65a4"
865 # Note that when running wpa_supplicant as an application, the user
866 # certificate store (My user account) is used, whereas computer store
867 # (Computer account) is used when running wpasvc as a service.
868 # Alternatively, a named configuration blob can be used by setting this
869 # to blob://<blob name>.
870 # private_key_passwd: Password for private key file (if left out, this will be
871 # asked through control interface)
872 # dh_file: File path to DH/DSA parameters file (in PEM format)
873 # This is an optional configuration file for setting parameters for an
874 # ephemeral DH key exchange. In most cases, the default RSA
875 # authentication does not use this configuration. However, it is possible
876 # setup RSA to use ephemeral DH key exchange. In addition, ciphers with
877 # DSA keys always use ephemeral DH keys. This can be used to achieve
878 # forward secrecy. If the file is in DSA parameters format, it will be
879 # automatically converted into DH params.
880 # subject_match: Substring to be matched against the subject of the
881 # authentication server certificate. If this string is set, the server
882 # sertificate is only accepted if it contains this string in the subject.
883 # The subject string is in following format:
884 # /C=US/ST=CA/L=San Francisco/CN=Test AS/emailAddress=as@example.com
885 # Note: Since this is a substring match, this cannot be used securily to
886 # do a suffix match against a possible domain name in the CN entry. For
887 # such a use case, domain_suffix_match or domain_match should be used
889 # altsubject_match: Semicolon separated string of entries to be matched against
890 # the alternative subject name of the authentication server certificate.
891 # If this string is set, the server sertificate is only accepted if it
892 # contains one of the entries in an alternative subject name extension.
893 # altSubjectName string is in following format: TYPE:VALUE
894 # Example: EMAIL:server@example.com
895 # Example: DNS:server.example.com;DNS:server2.example.com
896 # Following types are supported: EMAIL, DNS, URI
897 # domain_suffix_match: Constraint for server domain name. If set, this FQDN is
898 # used as a suffix match requirement for the AAAserver certificate in
899 # SubjectAltName dNSName element(s). If a matching dNSName is found, this
900 # constraint is met. If no dNSName values are present, this constraint is
901 # matched against SubjectName CN using same suffix match comparison.
903 # Suffix match here means that the host/domain name is compared one label
904 # at a time starting from the top-level domain and all the labels in
905 # domain_suffix_match shall be included in the certificate. The
906 # certificate may include additional sub-level labels in addition to the
909 # For example, domain_suffix_match=example.com would match
910 # test.example.com but would not match test-example.com.
911 # domain_match: Constraint for server domain name
912 # If set, this FQDN is used as a full match requirement for the
913 # server certificate in SubjectAltName dNSName element(s). If a
914 # matching dNSName is found, this constraint is met. If no dNSName
915 # values are present, this constraint is matched against SubjectName CN
916 # using same full match comparison. This behavior is similar to
917 # domain_suffix_match, but has the requirement of a full match, i.e.,
918 # no subdomains or wildcard matches are allowed. Case-insensitive
919 # comparison is used, so "Example.com" matches "example.com", but would
920 # not match "test.Example.com".
921 # phase1: Phase1 (outer authentication, i.e., TLS tunnel) parameters
922 # (string with field-value pairs, e.g., "peapver=0" or
923 # "peapver=1 peaplabel=1")
924 # 'peapver' can be used to force which PEAP version (0 or 1) is used.
925 # 'peaplabel=1' can be used to force new label, "client PEAP encryption",
926 # to be used during key derivation when PEAPv1 or newer. Most existing
927 # PEAPv1 implementation seem to be using the old label, "client EAP
928 # encryption", and wpa_supplicant is now using that as the default value.
929 # Some servers, e.g., Radiator, may require peaplabel=1 configuration to
930 # interoperate with PEAPv1; see eap_testing.txt for more details.
931 # 'peap_outer_success=0' can be used to terminate PEAP authentication on
932 # tunneled EAP-Success. This is required with some RADIUS servers that
933 # implement draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-05.txt (e.g.,
934 # Lucent NavisRadius v4.4.0 with PEAP in "IETF Draft 5" mode)
935 # include_tls_length=1 can be used to force wpa_supplicant to include
936 # TLS Message Length field in all TLS messages even if they are not
938 # sim_min_num_chal=3 can be used to configure EAP-SIM to require three
939 # challenges (by default, it accepts 2 or 3)
940 # result_ind=1 can be used to enable EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA to use
941 # protected result indication.
942 # 'crypto_binding' option can be used to control PEAPv0 cryptobinding
944 # * 0 = do not use cryptobinding (default)
945 # * 1 = use cryptobinding if server supports it
946 # * 2 = require cryptobinding
947 # EAP-WSC (WPS) uses following options: pin=<Device Password> or
950 # For wired IEEE 802.1X authentication, "allow_canned_success=1" can be
951 # used to configure a mode that allows EAP-Success (and EAP-Failure)
952 # without going through authentication step. Some switches use such
953 # sequence when forcing the port to be authorized/unauthorized or as a
954 # fallback option if the authentication server is unreachable. By default,
955 # wpa_supplicant discards such frames to protect against potential attacks
956 # by rogue devices, but this option can be used to disable that protection

960 # (string with field-value pairs, e.g., "auth=MSCHAPV2" for EAP-PEAP or
961 # "autheap=MSCHAPV2 autheap=MD5" for EAP-TTLS). "mschapv2_retry=0" can be
962 # used to disable MSCHAPv2 password retry in authentication failure cases.
964 # TLS-based methods can use the following parameters to control TLS behavior
965 # (these are normally in the phase1 parameter, but can be used also in the
966 # phase2 parameter when EAP-TLS is used within the inner tunnel):
967 # tls_allow_md5=1 - allow MD5-based certificate signatures (depending on the
968 # TLS library, these may be disabled by default to enforce stronger
970 # tls_disable_time_checks=1 - ignore certificate validity time (this requests
971 # the TLS library to accept certificates even if they are not currently
972 # valid, i.e., have expired or have not yet become valid; this should be
973 # used only for testing purposes)
974 # tls_disable_session_ticket=1 - disable TLS Session Ticket extension
975 # tls_disable_session_ticket=0 - allow TLS Session Ticket extension to be used
976 # Note: If not set, this is automatically set to 1 for EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS
977 # as a workaround for broken authentication server implementations unless
978 # EAP workarounds are disabled with eap_workaround=0.
979 # For EAP-FAST, this must be set to 0 (or left unconfigured for the
980 # default value to be used automatically).
981 # tls_disable_tlsv1_0=1 - disable use of TLSv1.0
