Hi @pridybailo-n
Thanks for the example. I am planing to write a c based proxy library to communicate with connman manager. Basically i want to use c library instead of connmanctl commandline.

Do you have any sample how did you create xml file or generated gdbus-codegen api

Thanks

Can anyone help with a dbus connman example to connect without using an agent to a protected wif-fi with password?

Is it possible without an agent?

Qt 5.15 for Device Creation has a QNetworkSettingsUserAgent which I understand uses dbus internally. I cannot get QNetworkSettingsUserAgent to work. I was hoping the dbus connman API could send password without using using an agent?

My work-around has been to programmatically create:

File: /var/lib/connman/SSID-psk.config

[service_wifi_d4ca6e60d8d5_626164626565_managed_psk]
AutoConnect=true
Name=mywif
Passphrase=mySecretPassphrase
Type=wifi
