Would you please tell me, is it possible to encrypt the identity and password values in a netctl profile configuration file? This profile sets up a connection to a WPA2 Enterprise wireless network. Would you please instruct me on how to encrypt the plain text values, if it is possible?

My current netctl profile configuration file is:

Description='WiFi'
Interface=wlan0
Connection=wireless
Security=wpa-configsection
IP=dhcp
WPAConfigSection=(
  'ssid="ssid"'
  'proto=WPA RSN'
  'key_mgmt=WPA-EAP'
  'pairwise=CCMP'
  'group=CCMP'
  'eap=PEAP'
  'anonymous_identity="[email protected]"'
  'identity="USERNAME"'
  'password="PASSWORD"'
  'ca_cert="/path/to/cert.pem"'
  'phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"'
  'priority=1'

)

USERNAME and PASSWORD in an example above are plain text values. I know it is possible to obfuscate the wireless passphrase when using WPA2-PSK. I'm looking for a similar functionality for WPA2 Enterprise.

I bumped into fipolate some years ago:

Unfortunately I can't say from personal experience whether this fits the bill.
