  1. wpa_supplicant for Windows
  2. ==========================
  3. Copyright (c) 2003-2008, Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> and
  4. contributors
  5. All Rights Reserved.
  6. This program is dual-licensed under both the GPL version 2 and BSD
  7. license. Either license may be used at your option.
  8. This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project
  9. for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/)
  10. wpa_supplicant has support for being used as a WPA/WPA2/IEEE 802.1X
  11. Supplicant on Windows. The current port requires that WinPcap
  12. (http://winpcap.polito.it/) is installed for accessing packets and the
  13. driver interface. Both release versions 3.0 and 3.1 are supported.
  14. The current port is still somewhat experimental. It has been tested
  15. mainly on Windows XP (SP2) with limited set of NDIS drivers. In
  16. addition, the current version has been reported to work with Windows
  17. 2000.
  18. All security modes have been verified to work (at least complete
  19. authentication and successfully ping a wired host):
  20. - plaintext
  21. - static WEP / open system authentication
  22. - static WEP / shared key authentication
  23. - IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP keys
  24. - WPA-PSK, TKIP, CCMP, TKIP+CCMP
  25. - WPA-EAP, TKIP, CCMP, TKIP+CCMP
  26. - WPA2-PSK, TKIP, CCMP, TKIP+CCMP
  27. - WPA2-EAP, TKIP, CCMP, TKIP+CCMP
  28. Binary version
  29. --------------
  30. Compiled binary version of the wpa_supplicant and additional tools is
  31. available from http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/. These binaries can be
  32. used after installing WinPcap.
  33. wpa_gui uses Qt 4 framework and may need additional dynamic libraries
  34. (DLLs). These libraries are available from
  35. http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/qt4/wpa_gui-qt433-windows-dll.zip
  36. You can copy the DLL files from this ZIP package into the same directory
  37. with wpa_gui.exe to allow wpa_gui to be started.
  38. Building wpa_supplicant with mingw
  39. ----------------------------------
  40. The default build setup for wpa_supplicant is to use MinGW and
  41. cross-compiling from Linux to MinGW/Windows. It should also be
  42. possible to build this under Windows using the MinGW tools, but that
  43. is not tested nor supported and is likely to require some changes to
  44. the Makefile unless cygwin is used.
  45. Building wpa_supplicant with MSVC
  46. ---------------------------------
  47. wpa_supplicant can be built with Microsoft Visual C++ compiler. This
  48. has been tested with Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 and Visual
  49. Studio 2005 using the included nmake.mak as a Makefile for nmake. IDE
  50. can also be used by creating a project that includes the files and
  51. defines mentioned in nmake.mak. Example VS2005 solution and project
  52. files are included in vs2005 subdirectory. This can be used as a
  53. starting point for building the programs with VS2005 IDE. Visual Studio
  54. 2008 Express Edition is also able to use these project files.
  55. WinPcap development package is needed for the build and this can be
  56. downloaded from http://www.winpcap.org/install/bin/WpdPack_4_0_2.zip. The
  57. default nmake.mak expects this to be unpacked into C:\dev\WpdPack so
  58. that Include and Lib directories are in this directory. The files can be
  59. stored elsewhere as long as the WINPCAPDIR in nmake.mak is updated to
  60. match with the selected directory. In case a project file in the IDE is
  61. used, these Include and Lib directories need to be added to project
  62. properties as additional include/library directories.
  63. OpenSSL source package can be downloaded from
  64. http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8i.tar.gz and built and
  65. installed following instructions in INSTALL.W32. Note that if EAP-FAST
  66. support will be included in the wpa_supplicant, OpenSSL needs to be
  67. patched to# support it openssl-0.9.8i-tls-extensions.patch. The example
  68. nmake.mak file expects OpenSSL to be installed into C:\dev\openssl, but
  69. this directory can be modified by changing OPENSSLDIR variable in
  70. nmake.mak.
  71. If you do not need EAP-FAST support, you may also be able to use Win32
  72. binary installation package of OpenSSL from
  73. http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html instead of building
  74. the library yourself. In this case, you will need to copy Include and
  75. Lib directories in suitable directory, e.g., C:\dev\openssl for the
  76. default nmake.mak. Copy {Win32OpenSSLRoot}\include into
  77. C:\dev\openssl\include and make C:\dev\openssl\lib subdirectory with
  78. files from {Win32OpenSSLRoot}\VC (i.e., libeay*.lib and ssleay*.lib).
  79. This will end up using dynamically linked OpenSSL (i.e., .dll files are
  80. needed) for it. Alternative, you can copy files from
  81. {Win32OpenSSLRoot}\VC\static to create a static build (no OpenSSL .dll
  82. files needed).
  83. Building wpa_supplicant for cygwin
  84. ----------------------------------
  85. wpa_supplicant can be built for cygwin by installing the needed
  86. development packages for cygwin. This includes things like compiler,
  87. make, openssl development package, etc. In addition, developer's pack
  88. for WinPcap (WPdpack.zip) from
  89. http://winpcap.polito.it/install/default.htm is needed.
  90. .config file should enable only one driver interface,
  91. CONFIG_DRIVER_NDIS. In addition, include directories may need to be
  92. added to match the system. An example configuration is available in
  93. defconfig. The library and include files for WinPcap will either need
  94. to be installed in compiler/linker default directories or their
  95. location will need to be adding to .config when building
  96. wpa_supplicant.
  97. Othen than this, the build should be more or less identical to Linux
  98. version, i.e., just run make after having created .config file. An
  99. additional tool, win_if_list.exe, can be built by running "make
  100. win_if_list".
  101. Building wpa_gui
  102. ----------------
  103. wpa_gui uses Qt application framework from Trolltech. It can be built
  104. with the open source version of Qt4 and MinGW. Following commands can
  105. be used to build the binary in the Qt 4 Command Prompt:
  106. # go to the root directory of wpa_supplicant source code
  107. cd wpa_gui-qt4
  108. qmake -o Makefile wpa_gui.pro
  109. make
  110. # the wpa_gui.exe binary is created into 'release' subdirectory
  111. Using wpa_supplicant for Windows
  112. --------------------------------
  113. wpa_supplicant, wpa_cli, and wpa_gui behave more or less identically to
  114. Linux version, so instructions in README and example wpa_supplicant.conf
  115. should be applicable for most parts. In addition, there is another
  116. version of wpa_supplicant, wpasvc.exe, which can be used as a Windows
  117. service and which reads its configuration from registry instead of
  118. text file.
  119. When using access points in "hidden SSID" mode, ap_scan=2 mode need to
  120. be used (see wpa_supplicant.conf for more information).
  121. Windows NDIS/WinPcap uses quite long interface names, so some care
  122. will be needed when starting wpa_supplicant. Alternatively, the
  123. adapter description can be used as the interface name which may be
  124. easier since it is usually in more human-readable
  125. format. win_if_list.exe can be used to find out the proper interface
  126. name.
  127. Example steps in starting up wpa_supplicant:
  128. # win_if_list.exe
  129. ifname: \Device\NPF_GenericNdisWanAdapter
  130. description: Generic NdisWan adapter
  131. ifname: \Device\NPF_{769E012B-FD17-4935-A5E3-8090C38E25D2}
  132. description: Atheros Wireless Network Adapter (Microsoft's Packet Scheduler)
  133. ifname: \Device\NPF_{732546E7-E26C-48E3-9871-7537B020A211}
  134. description: Intel 8255x-based Integrated Fast Ethernet (Microsoft's Packet Scheduler)
  135. Since the example configuration used Atheros WLAN card, the middle one
  136. is the correct interface in this case. The interface name for -i
  137. command line option is the full string following "ifname:" (the
  138. "\Device\NPF_" prefix can be removed). In other words, wpa_supplicant
  139. would be started with the following command:
  140. # wpa_supplicant.exe -i'{769E012B-FD17-4935-A5E3-8090C38E25D2}' -c wpa_supplicant.conf -d
  141. -d optional enables some more debugging (use -dd for even more, if
  142. needed). It can be left out if debugging information is not needed.
  143. With the alternative mechanism for selecting the interface, this
  144. command has identical results in this case:
  145. # wpa_supplicant.exe -iAtheros -c wpa_supplicant.conf -d
  146. Simple configuration example for WPA-PSK:
  147. #ap_scan=2
  148. ctrl_interface=
  149. network={
  150. ssid="test"
  151. key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
  152. proto=WPA
  153. pairwise=TKIP
  154. psk="secret passphrase"
  155. }
  156. (remove '#' from the comment out ap_scan line to enable mode in which
  157. wpa_supplicant tries to associate with the SSID without doing
  158. scanning; this allows APs with hidden SSIDs to be used)
  159. wpa_cli.exe and wpa_gui.exe can be used to interact with the
  160. wpa_supplicant.exe program in the same way as with Linux. Note that
  161. ctrl_interface is using UNIX domain sockets when built for cygwin, but
  162. the native build for Windows uses named pipes and the contents of the
  163. ctrl_interface configuration item is used to control access to the
  164. interface. Anyway, this variable has to be included in the configuration
  165. to enable the control interface.
  166. Example SDDL string formats:
  167. (local admins group has permission, but nobody else):
  168. ctrl_interface=SDDL=D:(A;;GA;;;BA)
  169. ("A" == "access allowed", "GA" == GENERIC_ALL == all permissions, and
  170. "BA" == "builtin administrators" == the local admins. The empty fields
  171. are for flags and object GUIDs, none of which should be required in this
  172. case.)
  173. (local admins and the local "power users" group have permissions,
  174. but nobody else):
  175. ctrl_interface=SDDL=D:(A;;GA;;;BA)(A;;GA;;;PU)
  176. (One ACCESS_ALLOWED ACE for GENERIC_ALL for builtin administrators, and
  177. one ACCESS_ALLOWED ACE for GENERIC_ALL for power users.)
  178. (close to wide open, but you have to be a valid user on
  179. the machine):
  180. ctrl_interface=SDDL=D:(A;;GA;;;AU)
  181. (One ACCESS_ALLOWED ACE for GENERIC_ALL for the "authenticated users"
  182. group.)
  183. This one would allow absolutely everyone (including anonymous
  184. users) -- this is *not* recommended, since named pipes can be attached
  185. to from anywhere on the network (i.e. there's no "this machine only"
  186. like there is with 127.0.0.1 sockets):
  187. ctrl_interface=SDDL=D:(A;;GA;;;BU)(A;;GA;;;AN)
  188. (BU == "builtin users", "AN" == "anonymous")
  189. See also [1] for the format of ACEs, and [2] for the possible strings
  190. that can be used for principal names.

  195. Starting wpa_supplicant as a Windows service (wpasvc.exe)
  196. ---------------------------------------------------------
  197. wpa_supplicant can be started as a Windows service by using wpasvc.exe
  198. program that is alternative build of wpa_supplicant.exe. Most of the
  199. core functionality of wpasvc.exe is identical to wpa_supplicant.exe,
  200. but it is using Windows registry for configuration information instead
  201. of a text file and command line parameters. In addition, it can be
  202. registered as a service that can be started automatically or manually
  203. like any other Windows service.
  204. The root of wpa_supplicant configuration in registry is
  205. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant. This level includes global
  206. parameters and a 'interfaces' subkey with all the interface configuration
  207. (adapter to confname mapping). Each such mapping is a subkey that has
  208. 'adapter', 'config', and 'ctrl_interface' values.
  209. This program can be run either as a normal command line application,
  210. e.g., for debugging, with 'wpasvc.exe app' or as a Windows service.
  211. Service need to be registered with 'wpasvc.exe reg <full path to
  212. wpasvc.exe>'. Alternatively, 'wpasvc.exe reg' can be used to register
  213. the service with the current location of wpasvc.exe. After this, wpasvc
  214. can be started like any other Windows service (e.g., 'net start wpasvc')
  215. or it can be configured to start automatically through the Services tool
  216. in administrative tasks. The service can be unregistered with
  217. 'wpasvc.exe unreg'.
  218. If the service is set to start during system bootup to make the
  219. network connection available before any user has logged in, there may
  220. be a long (half a minute or so) delay in starting up wpa_supplicant
  221. due to WinPcap needing a driver called "Network Monitor Driver" which
  222. is started by default on demand.
  223. To speed up wpa_supplicant start during system bootup, "Network
  224. Monitor Driver" can be configured to be started sooner by setting its
  225. startup type to System instead of the default Demand. To do this, open
  226. up Device Manager, select Show Hidden Devices, expand the "Non
  227. Plug-and-Play devices" branch, double click "Network Monitor Driver",
  228. go to the Driver tab, and change the Demand setting to System instead.
  229. Configuration data is in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant\configs
  230. key. Each configuration profile has its own key under this. In terms of text
  231. files, each profile would map to a separate text file with possibly multiple
  232. networks. Under each profile, there is a networks key that lists all
  233. networks as a subkey. Each network has set of values in the same way as
  234. network block in the configuration file. In addition, blobs subkey has
  235. possible blobs as values.
  236. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant\configs\test\networks\0000
  237. ssid="example"
  238. key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
  239. See win_example.reg for an example on how to setup wpasvc.exe
  240. parameters in registry. It can also be imported to registry as a
  241. starting point for the configuration.
