It was always annoying for me to type in the login credentials on the Hotspots of Deutsche Telekom. As I’m lazy, here is a script which can be integrated with networkmanager via dispatcher.d interface, which checks for the right interface and right SSID, then calls the login page with according credentials.
- Put this script to
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/02hotspot Put the according settings file to
/etc/NetworkManager/hotspot-configupdate the username and password in the config file
depending on the distribution you might have to change the wlan interface name
if you want to automatically to connect to the VPN, configure it. If your VPN certificate is password protected, you have to update your connection like this:
- open the file
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<<VPNNAME>> - set
cert-pass-flagsin the vpn section to 0 - add a section
vpn-secretswith an optioncert-passwith a password as a value
- open the file
...
[vpn]
...
cert-pass-flags=0
...
[vpn-secrets]
cert-pass=<<certificate password here>>
...- update the permissions of the file
chmod 0700 /etc/NetworkManager/hotspot-config
Known limitations
- Currently only Telekom Hotspot is supported, support of ICE and probably some other Hotspots can be added easy
