| wpa_supplicant and Hotspot 2.0 |
| ============================== |
| |
| This document describe how the IEEE 802.11u Interworking and Wi-Fi |
| Hotspot 2.0 (Release 1) implementation in wpa_supplicant can be |
| configured and how an external component on the client e.g., management |
| GUI or Wi-Fi framework) is used to manage this functionality. |
| |
| |
| Introduction to Wi-Fi Hotspot 2.0 |
| --------------------------------- |
| |
| Hotspot 2.0 is the name of the Wi-Fi Alliance specification that is used |
| in the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Passpoint<TM> program. More information about |
| this is available in this white paper: |
| |
| http://www.wi-fi.org/knowledge-center/white-papers/wi-fi-certified-passpoint%E2%84%A2-new-program-wi-fi-alliance%C2%AE-enable-seamless |
| |
| The Hotspot 2.0 specification is also available from WFA: |
| https://www.wi-fi.org/knowledge-center/published-specifications |
| |
| The core Interworking functionality (network selection, GAS/ANQP) were |
| standardized in IEEE Std 802.11u-2011 which is now part of the IEEE Std |
| 802.11-2012. |
| |
| |
| wpa_supplicant network selection |
| -------------------------------- |
| |
| Interworking support added option for configuring credentials that can |
| work with multiple networks as an alternative to configuration of |
| network blocks (e.g., per-SSID parameters). When requested to perform |
| network selection, wpa_supplicant picks the highest priority enabled |
| network block or credential. If a credential is picked (based on ANQP |
| information from APs), a temporary network block is created |
| automatically for the matching network. This temporary network block is |
| used similarly to the network blocks that can be configured by the user, |
| but it is not stored into the configuration file and is meant to be used |
| only for temporary period of time since a new one can be created |
| whenever needed based on ANQP information and the credential. |
| |
| By default, wpa_supplicant is not using automatic network selection |
| unless requested explicitly with the interworking_select command. This |
| can be changed with the auto_interworking=1 parameter to perform network |
| selection automatically whenever trying to find a network for connection |
| and none of the enabled network blocks match with the scan results. This |
| case works similarly to "interworking_select auto", i.e., wpa_supplicant |
| will internally determine which network or credential is going to be |
| used based on configured priorities, scan results, and ANQP information. |
| |
| |
| wpa_supplicant configuration |
| ---------------------------- |
| |
| Interworking and Hotspot 2.0 functionality are optional components that |
| need to be enabled in the wpa_supplicant build configuration |
| (.config). This is done by adding following parameters into that file: |
| |
| CONFIG_INTERWORKING=y |
| CONFIG_HS20=y |
| |
| It should be noted that this functionality requires a driver that |
| supports GAS/ANQP operations. This uses the same design as P2P, i.e., |
| Action frame processing and building in user space within |
| wpa_supplicant. The Linux nl80211 driver interface provides the needed |
| functionality for this. |
| |
| |
| There are number of run-time configuration parameters (e.g., in |
| wpa_supplicant.conf when using the configuration file) that can be used |
| to control Hotspot 2.0 operations. |
| |
| # Enable Interworking |
| interworking=1 |
| |
| # Enable Hotspot 2.0 |
| hs20=1 |
| |
| # Parameters for controlling scanning |
| |
| # Homogenous ESS identifier |
| # If this is set, scans will be used to request response only from BSSes |
| # belonging to the specified Homogeneous ESS. This is used only if interworking |
| # is enabled. |
| #hessid=00:11:22:33:44:55 |
| |
| # Access Network Type |
| # When Interworking is enabled, scans can be limited to APs that advertise the |
| # specified Access Network Type (0..15; with 15 indicating wildcard match). |
| # This value controls the Access Network Type value in Probe Request frames. |
| #access_network_type=15 |
| |
| # Automatic network selection behavior |
| # 0 = do not automatically go through Interworking network selection |
| # (i.e., require explicit interworking_select command for this; default) |
| # 1 = perform Interworking network selection if one or more |
| # credentials have been configured and scan did not find a |
| # matching network block |
| #auto_interworking=0 |
| |
| |
| Credentials can be pre-configured for automatic network selection: |
| |
| # credential block |
| # |
| # Each credential used for automatic network selection is configured as a set |
| # of parameters that are compared to the information advertised by the APs when |
| # interworking_select and interworking_connect commands are used. |
| # |
| # credential fields: |
| # |
| # priority: Priority group |
| # By default, all networks and credentials get the same priority group |
| # (0). This field can be used to give higher priority for credentials |
| # (and similarly in struct wpa_ssid for network blocks) to change the |
| # Interworking automatic networking selection behavior. The matching |
| # network (based on either an enabled network block or a credential) |
| # with the highest priority value will be selected. |
| # |
| # pcsc: Use PC/SC and SIM/USIM card |
| # |
| # realm: Home Realm for Interworking |
| # |
| # username: Username for Interworking network selection |
| # |
| # password: Password for Interworking network selection |
| # |
| # ca_cert: CA certificate for Interworking network selection |
| # |
| # client_cert: File path to client certificate file (PEM/DER) |
| # This field is used with Interworking networking selection for a case |
| # where client certificate/private key is used for authentication |
| # (EAP-TLS). Full path to the file should be used since working |
| # directory may change when wpa_supplicant is run in the background. |
| # |
| # Alternatively, a named configuration blob can be used by setting |
| # this to blob://blob_name. |
| # |
| # private_key: File path to client private key file (PEM/DER/PFX) |
| # When PKCS#12/PFX file (.p12/.pfx) is used, client_cert should be |
| # commented out. Both the private key and certificate will be read |
| # from the PKCS#12 file in this case. Full path to the file should be |
| # used since working directory may change when wpa_supplicant is run |
| # in the background. |
| # |
| # Windows certificate store can be used by leaving client_cert out and |
| # configuring private_key in one of the following formats: |
| # |
| # cert://substring_to_match |
| # |
| # hash://certificate_thumbprint_in_hex |
| # |
| # For example: private_key="hash://63093aa9c47f56ae88334c7b65a4" |
| # |
| # Note that when running wpa_supplicant as an application, the user |
| # certificate store (My user account) is used, whereas computer store |
| # (Computer account) is used when running wpasvc as a service. |
| # |
| # Alternatively, a named configuration blob can be used by setting |
| # this to blob://blob_name. |
| # |
| # private_key_passwd: Password for private key file |
| # |
| # imsi: IMSI in <MCC> | <MNC> | '-' | <MSIN> format |
| # |
| # milenage: Milenage parameters for SIM/USIM simulator in <Ki>:<OPc>:<SQN> |
| # format |
| # |
| # domain: Home service provider FQDN |
| # This is used to compare against the Domain Name List to figure out |
| # whether the AP is operated by the Home SP. |
| # |
| # roaming_consortium: Roaming Consortium OI |
| # If roaming_consortium_len is non-zero, this field contains the |
| # Roaming Consortium OI that can be used to determine which access |
| # points support authentication with this credential. This is an |
| # alternative to the use of the realm parameter. When using Roaming |
| # Consortium to match the network, the EAP parameters need to be |
| # pre-configured with the credential since the NAI Realm information |
| # may not be available or fetched. |
| # |
| # eap: Pre-configured EAP method |
| # This optional field can be used to specify which EAP method will be |
| # used with this credential. If not set, the EAP method is selected |
| # automatically based on ANQP information (e.g., NAI Realm). |
| # |
| # phase1: Pre-configure Phase 1 (outer authentication) parameters |
| # This optional field is used with like the 'eap' parameter. |
| # |
| # phase2: Pre-configure Phase 2 (inner authentication) parameters |
| # This optional field is used with like the 'eap' parameter. |
| # |
| # excluded_ssid: Excluded SSID |
| # This optional field can be used to excluded specific SSID(s) from |
| # matching with the network. Multiple entries can be used to specify more |
| # than one SSID. |
| # |
| # for example: |
| # |
| #cred={ |
| # realm="example.com" |
| # username="user@example.com" |
| # password="password" |
| # ca_cert="/etc/wpa_supplicant/ca.pem" |
| # domain="example.com" |
| #} |
| # |
| #cred={ |
| # imsi="310026-000000000" |
| # milenage="90dca4eda45b53cf0f12d7c9c3bc6a89:cb9cccc4b9258e6dca4760379fb82" |
| #} |
| # |
| #cred={ |
| # realm="example.com" |
| # username="user" |
| # password="password" |
| # ca_cert="/etc/wpa_supplicant/ca.pem" |
| # domain="example.com" |
| # roaming_consortium=223344 |
| # eap=TTLS |
| # phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2" |
| #} |
| |
| |
| Control interface |
| ----------------- |
| |
| wpa_supplicant provides a control interface that can be used from |
| external programs to manage various operations. The included command |
| line tool, wpa_cli, can be used for manual testing with this interface. |
| |
| Following wpa_cli interactive mode commands show some examples of manual |
| operations related to Hotspot 2.0: |
| |
| Remove configured networks and credentials: |
| |
| > remove_network all |
| OK |
| > remove_cred all |
| OK |
| |
| |
| Add a username/password credential: |
| |
| > add_cred |
| 0 |
| > set_cred 0 realm "mail.example.com" |
| OK |
| > set_cred 0 username "username" |
| OK |
| > set_cred 0 password "password" |
| OK |
| > set_cred 0 priority 1 |
| OK |
| |
| Add a SIM credential using a simulated SIM/USIM card for testing: |
| |
| > add_cred |
| 1 |
| > set_cred 1 imsi "23456-0000000000" |
| OK |
| > set_cred 1 milenage "90dca4eda45b53cf0f12d7c9c3bc6a89:cb9cccc4b9258e6dca4760379fb82581:000000000123" |
| OK |
| > set_cred 1 priority 1 |
| OK |
| |
| Note: the return value of add_cred is used as the first argument to |
| the following set_cred commands. |
| |
| |
| Add a WPA2-Enterprise network: |
| |
| > add_network |
| 0 |
| > set_network 0 key_mgmt WPA-EAP |
| OK |
| > set_network 0 ssid "enterprise" |
| OK |
| > set_network 0 eap TTLS |
| OK |
| > set_network 0 anonymous_identity "anonymous" |
| OK |
| > set_network 0 identity "user" |
| OK |
| > set_network 0 password "password" |
| OK |
| > set_network 0 priority 0 |
| OK |
| > enable_network 0 no-connect |
| OK |
| |
| |
| Add an open network: |
| |
| > add_network |
| 3 |
| > set_network 3 key_mgmt NONE |
| OK |
| > set_network 3 ssid "coffee-shop" |
| OK |
| > select_network 3 |
| OK |
| |
| Note: the return value of add_network is used as the first argument to |
| the following set_network commands. |
| |
| The preferred credentials/networks can be indicated with the priority |
| parameter (1 is higher priority than 0). |
| |
| |
| Interworking network selection can be started with interworking_select |
| command. This instructs wpa_supplicant to run a network scan and iterate |
| through the discovered APs to request ANQP information from the APs that |
| advertise support for Interworking/Hotspot 2.0: |
| |
| > interworking_select |
| OK |
| <3>Starting ANQP fetch for 02:00:00:00:01:00 |
| <3>RX-ANQP 02:00:00:00:01:00 ANQP Capability list |

| <3>ANQP fetch completed |
| <3>INTERWORKING-AP 02:00:00:00:01:00 type=unknown |
| |
| |
| INTERWORKING-AP event messages indicate the APs that support network |
| selection and for which there is a matching |
| credential. interworking_connect command can be used to select a network |
| to connect with: |
| |
| |
| > interworking_connect 02:00:00:00:01:00 |
| OK |
| <3>CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS |
| <3>SME: Trying to authenticate with 02:00:00:00:01:00 (SSID='Example Network' freq=2412 MHz) |

| <3>CTRL-EVENT-EAP-SUCCESS EAP authentication completed successfully |
| <3>WPA: Key negotiation completed with 02:00:00:00:01:00 [PTK=CCMP GTK=CCMP] |
| <3>CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 02:00:00:00:01:00 completed (auth) [id=0 id_str=] |
| |
| |
| wpa_supplicant creates a temporary network block for the selected |
| network based on the configured credential and ANQP information from the |
| AP: |
| |
| > list_networks |
| network id / ssid / bssid / flags |
| 0 Example Network any [CURRENT] |
| > get_network 0 key_mgmt |
| WPA-EAP |
| > get_network 0 eap |
| TTLS |
| |
| |
| Alternatively to using an external program to select the network, |
| "interworking_select auto" command can be used to request wpa_supplicant |
| to select which network to use based on configured priorities: |
| |
| |
| > remove_network all |
| OK |
| <3>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=02:00:00:00:01:00 reason=1 locally_generated=1 |
