System Administration Commands wpad(1M) NAME wpad - WPA and WPA2 protocol daemon SYNOPSIS /usr/lib/inet/wpad [-i interface] [-k pre_shared_key_name] DESCRIPTION The wpad daemon provides common client functionality for the WiFi Pro- tected Access (WPA) versions 1 and 2, as defined by IEEE802.11i stan- dard. WPA was created by the WiFi Alliance, an industry trade group. WPA implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i standard, and was intended as an intermediate measure to take the place of Wired Equiva- lent Privacy (WEP) while 802.11i was prepared. WPA2 implements the full standard. wpad provides the following WPA/IEEE 802.11i features: o WPA-PSK ("WPA-Personal") o Key management for CCMP, TKIP, WEP104, WEP40 Stop and start the wpad daemon using dladm(1M). Use: # dladm connect-wifi ...to start the wpad daemon. Use: # dladm disconnect-wifi ...to stop the daemon. OPTIONS The following options are supported: -i interface Specify a WiFi Link interface to start the wpad daemon. -k pre_shared_key_name Specify the pre-shared key used for the WiFi Link. EXAMPLES Example 1 Starting the wpad Daemon on Specific WiFi Link To create the WPA key psk, enter the following command: # dladm create-secobj -c wpa psk To use key psk to connect to ESSID wlan on link ath0, enter the follow- ing command: # dladm connect-wifi -k psk -e wlan ath0 Example 2 Stopping the wpad Daemon on Specific WiFi Link To stop the daemon on the link ath0, enter: # dladm disconnect-wifi ath0 ATTRIBUTES See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |service/network/wpa | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Interface Stability |Uncommitted | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO svcs(1), dladm(1M), svcadm(1M), attributes(5), smf(5) NOTES The wpad service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier: svc:/network/wpa:<link> Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M).
