Verification of signatures using the MD5 hash algorithm is disabled in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
It is impossible to connect to any Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Enterprise Access Point (AP) that requires MD5 signed certificates. To work around this problem, copy the wpa_supplicant.service file from the /usr/lib/systemd/system/ directory to the /etc/systemd/system/ directory and add the following line to the Service section of the file:
Environment=OPENSSL_ENABLE_MD5_VERIFY=1
Then run the
systemctl daemon-reload command as root to reload the service file.
Important: Note that MD5 certificates are highly insecure and Red Hat does not recommend using them. (BZ#1062656)
