Hi All, I figured out that the protected management frames are needed to be enabled on both hostapd and wpa_supplicant for SAE to function. I replaced the AP device which now allows protected management frames. I added those in the configuration file. However still facing the issue of SAE connection. My current hostapd is interface=wlx00c0ca96c7d9 driver=nl80211 ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd ssid=WPA3WIFI channel=1 wpa=2 wpa_key_mgmt=SAE sae_require_mfp=0 sae_password=secretpassword ieee80211w=2 wpa_pairwise=CCMP rsn_pairwise=CCMP My supplicant is ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=0 pmf=2 network={ ssid="WPA3WIFI" key_mgmt=SAE ieee80211w=2 proto=RSN pairwise=CCMP group=CCMP sae_password="secretpassword" } However my supplicant is throwing the error indicating it failed to select authenticated key management type. Is there any configuration, I am missing. wlx503eaa76347d: selected based on RSN IE wlx503eaa76347d: selected BSS 00:c0:ca:96:c7:d9 ssid='WPA3WIFI' wlx503eaa76347d: Considering connect request: reassociate: 0 selected: bssid: 00:00:00:00:00:00 pending: 00:00:00:00:00:00 wpa_state: DISCONNECTED ssid=0x55ce47d615c0 current_ssid=(nil) wlx503eaa76347d: Trying to associate with 00:c0:ca:96:c7:d9 (SSID='WPA3WIFI' freq=2412 MHz) wlx503eaa76347d: RSN: using IEEE 802.11i/D9.0 wlx503eaa76347d: WPA: Selected cipher suites: group 16 pairwise 16 key_mgmt 1024 proto 2 wlx503eaa76347d: WPA: Selected mgmt group cipher 32 wlx503eaa76347d: WPA: clearing AP WPA IE WPA: set AP RSN IE - hexdump(len=22): 30 14 01 00 00 0f ac 04 01 00 00 0f ac 04 01 00 00 0f ac 08 80 00 wlx503eaa76347d: WPA: using GTK CCMP wlx503eaa76347d: WPA: using PTK CCMP wlx503eaa76347d: WPA: Failed to select authenticated key management type wlx503eaa76347d: WPA: Failed to set WPA key management and encryption suites Regards, Rohith K D Hi All, I compiled both hostapd and wpa_supplicant with OWE, SAE, DPP enabled to support WPA3. This is my hostapd.conf file. interface=wlx503eaa628c61 driver=nl80211 ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd ssid=WPA3WIFI channel=1 wpa=2 wpa_key_mgmt=SAE sae_password=secretpassword rsn_pairwise=CCMP This is my wpa_supplicant.conf ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=0 network={ ssid="WPA3WIFI" key_mgmt= SAE sae_password="secretpassword" } However my wpa_supplicant throws an error when connecting to the running hostapd. wlx503eaa76347d: Trying to associate with 50:3e:aa:62:8c:61 (SSID='WPA3WIFI' freq=2412 MHz) wlx503eaa76347d: WPA: Failed to select authenticated key management type wlx503eaa76347d: WPA: Failed to set WPA key management and encryption suites When I looked through the wpa_supplicant.c, it points that if compiled with SAE enabled and key_mgmt is configured to SAE, the protocol used will be RSN: using KEY_MGMT SAE. However in my case the final failure else condition is executed. Am, I missing any configuration or not enabled any required flags during compilation of WPA_supplicant?
