Hello and sorry for the late reply.

Yes, I can confirm you that the omission of the ['Inner'] => 'PAP' parameter
is indeed the cause of our problem.
Actually, if we manually modify the content of the .onc file by adding this
parameter, the configuration of the connection is then successful.

Yours sincerly

TTLS does not (necessarily) do EAP on the inside; PEAP always does.


When omitted, the ONC file spec states that the inner (non-EAP) method
is then "automatic", and we've never heard of issues that way.


Are you sure that the omission of the explicit ['Inner'] => 'PAP' is
what causes the configuration to not work?


E.g. if you download the .onc file, add the line about PAP to it, and
then configure a client with that - does it work?


Greetings,


Stefan Winter
