Wifi Connection

Does anyone know if it's possible to enable TTLS authentication in the Network Center? I need this to be able to connect to wireless. Thanks

You mean like EAP-TLS, like with a RADIUS server? Sure, as encryption method select "WPA/WPA2 Enterprise" there you need to provide your EAP login/username, and either password and/or client certificate. And for the initial setup you should use drakconnect, which you can find in Mageia control center under Network & Internet -> Set up a new network interface (LAN, ISDN, ADSL, ...)

Ok, thanks. Does this setup not support PAP? Can I download something to use this authentication method?

[doktor5000]

You mean PAP as in password authentication protocol? Shouldn't be used, as your credentials will be transferred in plaintext (unencrypted),
which would totally defeat the goal of autentication/encryption. Could you please explain a bit about your wireless setup?

I need to use an authentication method of TTLS with inner authentication using PAP. I need this setup for work/school. I am able to connect with fedora using the KDE network configurations but I do not see any way to enable this in Mageia.

You could try to use networkmanager (which is used in Fedora) with the corresponding KDE plasmoid (NOT knetworkmanager)
Maybe you need to re-setup the connection (via drakx11), and in the final summary step you need to ensure that
"enable networkmanager to control this connection" is enabled (may be called a bit different, just translated it
from memory from the german translation) or just check if the settings file for that connection
(f.ex. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0)
has NM_CONTROLLED=yes option set.
