My university uses the Eduroam WPA Enterprise wireless network with username and password. When I click its "connect" button in Plasma, and enter my credentials nothing happens. Selecting any certificate tricks the network manager into trying to connect but it fails (probably because there is no "right" certificate to select.) Connecting to the network using nm-applet works. Also I can connect to it from Plasma once my credentials are stored. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to connect to a WPA Enterprise network that uses only username and password. Actual Results: Nothing happens Expected Results: It connects Platform Version 4.14.7
If I get it right, you press connect button on eduroam connection you see in the applet (at that time is not configured yet) and a dialog appears where you put your credentials and once you press OK button, then nothing happens? If you then try to connect again from the plasma applet, does it work?

Exactly. I get no confirmation and the tray icon doesn't change to the connecting state. > If you > then try to connect again from the plasma applet, does it work? No, it apparently didn't even store my credentials. After I have connected from nm-applet once, I can connect to plasma afterwards.

This should be correct, NM should automatically try to connect to it, but it seems that in your case it assumes there is something missing. I was able to reproduce it even here, with WPA2 Enterprise using LEAP method it was trying to connect it, but not with PEAP, where I guess it assumes that a certificate is missing. I don't think there is something I can do about it. > > If you > > then try to connect again from the plasma applet, does it work? > > No, it apparently didn't even store my credentials. After I have > connected from nm-applet once, I can connect to plasma afterwards. When you try edit this connection, do you see your credentials? If not, try to re-save it, just put your credentials there and save it and edit it again to check whether they are stored. If not, here are couple of things to check: 1) Check whether "networkmanagement" kded module is present in "qdbus --session org.kde.kded /kded org.kde.kded.loadedModules ". 2) Do you have KWallet enabled?
Can you check whether the situation has changed with latest Plasma 5.5.x?
Closing, there is no response. Re-open this bug if this is still happening with Plasma 5.6.x and newer.
