How do you configure Netplan on Ubuntu to store 802.1x credentials securely?












1















In an 802.1x enterprise network, I can use NetworkManager to configure 802.1x parameters, including the password. This all works, but requires storing the password in cleartext.



We are trying to use Netplan to store the credentials more securely, but we cannot make the 802.1x connections authenticate.



I haven't been able to find a good guide for building a Netplan configuration that includes 802.1x credentials.
