NetBox version

v3.1-beta

Python version

3.9

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create new wireless LAN with Authentication Type: WPA Enterprise and PSK: 1337

image

Expected Behavior

No PSK to be allowed when WPA Enterprise is chosen. WPA Enterprise dictates (?) the usage of a Radius backend to relay the EAP messages to. This authentication replaces the PreSharedKey.

Would be cool to model the actual radius backend used in this model. With a relation to a Service (property of device)?

Observed Behavior

PSK can be stored irrespective of the Authentication Type

There is "identity PSK" through RADIUS.

@andershagman that's true, though I'd expect we'd convey that in a field separate from the PSK field on the WLAN model since it has a different function. We don't currently model any RADIUS config, though it's certainly possible that it will be added in a future release.

Hm, based on this doc this iPSK is configured as a regular PSK in the wlan controller, but with additional AAA override settings. In that case it is a valid combination after all.

Huh, ok. So keep allowing it then?

Doesn't feel logical, but appearantly prohibiting the combo is not matching real world configs as well. So I guess keep as is?
