NAME
iwd.ap - Configuration of IWD access points
NAME
iwd.ap - Access point provisioning files
SYNOPSIS
Description of access point provisioning files.
DESCRIPTION
An access point provisioning file defines the configuration of an IWD access point. These files live in
$STATE_DIRECTORY/ap (/var/lib/iwd/ap by default). They are read when the
net.connman.iwd.AccessPoint.StartProfile(ssid) DBus method is used.
FILE FORMAT
See iwd.network for details on the settings file syntax.
SETTINGS
The settings are split into several categories. Each category has a group associated with it and is
described in the corresponding table below.
General Settings
The group [General] contains general AP configuration.
┌──────────────┬───────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Channel │ Channel number │
│ │ │
│ │ Optional channel number for the │
│ │ access point to operate on. If │
│ │ omitted the channel will be chosen │
│ │ automatically. Channels greater than │
│ │ or equal to 36 will select the 5GHz │
│ │ band for the AP to operate on. │
│ │ │
│ │ Note: Due to regulatory requirements │
│ │ the linux kernel does not allow or │
│ │ strictly limits 5GHz use in AP mode │
│ │ while in world roaming. These │
│ │ frequencies become available once the │
│ │ country is set, either via IWD's │
│ │ main.conf option [General].Country │
│ │ (see man iwd.config) or externally │
│ │ (e.g. iw reg set <CC>). If you are │
│ │ having trouble using 5GHz ensure the │
│ │ country is set, and that the desired │
│ │ frequency/channel is unrestricted. │
├──────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────┤
│ RekeyTimeout │ Timeout for PTK rekeys (seconds) │
│ │ │
│ │ The time interval at which the AP │
│ │ starts a rekey for a given station. │
│ │ If not provided a default value of 0 │
│ │ is used (rekeying is disabled). │
├──────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────┤
│ DisableHT │ Boolean value │
│ │ │
│ │ Explicitly disable HT capabilities │
│ │ for this AP. │
└──────────────┴───────────────────────────────────────┘
Network Authentication Settings
The group [Security] contains settings for Wi-Fi security and authentication configuration.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Passphrase 8..63 character string
WPA-PSK Passphrase to be used with
this access point. At least one of
Passphrase, PreSharedKey must be
present.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PreSharedKey 64-character hex-string
Processed passphrase for this network
in the form of a hex-encoded 32-byte
pre-shared key. Either this or
Passphrase must be present.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PairwiseCiphers Comma separated list of pairwise
ciphers for the AP supports.
Values can include: TKIP, CCMP, GCMP,
GCMP-256, CCMP-256
The underlying hardware and IWD's AP
implementation must also support the
ciphers listed
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
GroupCipher Group cipher the AP uses
A single cipher value the AP can use
as the group cipher. Values are the
same as pairwise ciphers and the same
restrictions apply (hardware and IWD
implementation must support the
cipher)
