The SAE test made some assumptions on certain conditions due to
there being no way of checking if those conditions were met
Mainly the use of H2E/hunt-and-peck.
We assumed that when we told hostapd to use H2E or hunt/peck it
would but in reality it was not. Hostapd is apparently not very
good at swapping between the two with a simple "reload" command.
Once H2E is enabled it appears that it cannot be undone.
Similarly the vendor elements seem to carry over from test to
test, and sometimes not which causes unintended behavior.
To fix this create separate APs for the specific scenario being
tested:
- Hunt and peck
- H2E
- Special vendor_element simulating buggy APs
Another issue found was that if password identifies are used
hostapd automatically chooses H2E which was not intented, at
least based on the test names (in reality it wasn't causing any
problems).
The tests have also been improved to use hostapds "sta_status"
command which contains the group number used when authenticating,
so now that at least can be verified.
In order to support identifiers the test profiles needed to be
reworked due to hostapd allowing multiple password entires. You
cannot just call set_value() with a new entry as the old ones
still exist. Instead use a unique password for the identifier and
non-identifier use cases.
After adding this test the failure_test started failing due to
hostapd not starting up. This was due to the group being unsupported
but oddly only when hostapd was reloaded (running the test
individually worked). To fix this the group number was changed to 21
which hostapd does support but IWD does not.
Break up the SAE tests into two parts: testSAE and testSAE-AntiClogging
testSAE is simplified to only use two radios and a single phy managed
by hostapd. hostapd configurations are changed via the new 'set_value'
method added to hostapd utils. This allows forcing hostapd to use a
particular sae group set, or force hostapd to use SAE H2E/Hunting and
Pecking Loop for key derivation. A separate test for IKE Group 20 is no
longer required and is folded into connection_test.py
testSAE-AntiClogging is added with an environment for 5 radios instead
of 7, again with hostapd running on a single phy. 'sae_pwe' is used to
force hostapd to use SAE H2E or Hunting and Pecking for key derivation.
Both Anti-Clogging protocol variants are thus tested.
main.conf is added to both directories to force scan randomization off.
This seems to be required for hostapd to work properly on hwsim.
