<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I was pondering though the code for wpa_supplicant (0.5.6) and I saw that when the identity is retrieved, in eap_sim_get_identity(), (for EAP-SIM at least), only the reauthentication or the pseudonym identity is returned. In the RFC for EAP-SIM in section 4.2.1.6 Format of the Permanent Username it is stated that the client should return a permanent identity based on the IMSI if the server requires it. Is there a reason for this being omitted in wpa_supplicant?</FONT></P>
