main.conf - ConnMan configuration file
main.conf is a configuration file for ConnMan. The
configuration file is optional but it can be used to set up various aspects
of ConnMan's behavior. The location of the file may be changed through use
of the --config= argument for connman(8).
The configuration file consists of sections (groups) of key-value
pairs. Lines beginning with a '#' and blank lines are considered comments.
Sections are started by a header line containing the section enclosed in '['
and ']', and ended implicitly by the start of the next section or the end of
the file. Each key-value pair must be contained in a section.
Description of sections and available keys follows:
This section is the only mandatory section of the configuration
file.
- InputRequestTimeout=secs
- Set input request timeout. Default is 120 seconds The request for inputs
like passphrase will timeout after certain amount of time. Use this
setting to increase the value in case of different user interface
designs.
- BrowserLaunchTimeout=secs
- Set browser launch timeout. Default is 300 seconds The request for
launching a browser for portal pages will timeout after certain amount of
time. Use this setting to increase the value in case of different user
interface designs.
- BackgroundScanning=true | false
- Enable background scanning. Default is true. If wifi is disconnected, the
background scanning will follow a simple backoff mechanism from 3s up to 5
minutes. Then, it will stay in 5 minutes unless user specifically asks for
scanning through a D-Bus call. If so, the mechanism will start again from
3s. This feature activates also the background scanning while being
connected, which is required for roaming on wifi. When BackgroundScanning
is false, ConnMan will not perform any scan regardless of wifi is
connected or not, unless it is requested by the user through a D-Bus
call.
- FallbackTimeservers=server[,...]
- List of Fallback timeservers separated by ",". These timeservers
are used for NTP sync when there are no timeserver set by the user or by
the service. These can contain mixed combination of fully qualified domain
names, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
- FallbackNameservers=server[,...]
- List of fallback nameservers separated by "," appended to the
list of nameservers given by the service. The nameserver entries must be
in numeric format, host names are ignored.
- DefaultAutoConnectTechnologies=technology[,...]
- List of technologies that are marked autoconnectable by default, separated
by commas ",". The default value for this entry when empty is
ethernet,wifi,cellular. Services that are automatically connected must
have been set up and saved to storage beforehand.
- AlwaysConnectedTechnologies=technology[,...]
- List of technoolgies which are always connected regardless of
PreferredTechnologies setting (AutoConnect = true). The default value is
empty and this feature is disabled unless explicitly enabled in the config
file.
- PreferredTechnologies=technology[,...]
- List of preferred technologies from the most preferred one to the least
preferred one separated by commas ",". Services of the listed
technology type will be tried one by one in the order given, until one of
them gets connected or they are all tried. A service of a preferred
technology type in state 'ready' will get the default route when compared
to another preferred type further down the list with state 'ready' or with
a non-preferred type; a service of a preferred technology type in state
'online' will get the default route when compared to either a
non-preferred type or a preferred type further down in the list.
- NetworkInterfaceBlacklist=interface[,...]
- List of blacklisted network interfaces separated by ",". Found
interfaces will be compared to the list and will not be handled by
connman, if their first characters match any of the list entries. Default
value is vmnet,vboxnet,virbr,ifb.
- AllowHostnameUpdates=true | false
- Allow connman to change the system hostname. This can happen for example
if we receive DHCP hostname option. Default value is true.
- AllowDomainnameUpdates=true | false
- Allow connman to change the system domainname. This can happen for example
if we receive DHCP domainname option. Default value is true.
- SingleConnectedTechnology=true | false
- Keep only a single connected technology at any time. When a new service is
connected by the user or a better one is found according to
PreferredTechnologies, the new service is kept connected and all the other
previously connected services are disconnected. With this setting it does
not matter whether the previously connected services are in 'online' or
'ready' states, the newly connected service is the only one that will be
kept connected. A service connected by the user will be used until going
out of network coverage. With this setting enabled applications will
notice more network breaks than normal. Default value is false.
- TetheringTechnologies=technology[,...]
- List of technologies that are allowed to enable tethering separated by
",". The default value is wifi,bluetooth,gadget. Only those
technologies listed here are used for tethering. If one wants to tether
ethernet, then add "ethernet" in the list. NOTE that if ethernet
tethering is enabled, then a DHCP server is started on all ethernet
interfaces. Tethered ethernet should never be connected to corporate or
home network as it will disrupt normal operation of these networks. Due to
this ethernet is not tethered by default. Do not activate ethernet
tethering unless you really know what you are doing.
- PersistentTetheringMode=true | false
- Restore earlier tethering status when returning from offline mode,
re-enabling a technology, and after restarts and reboots. Default value is
false.
- Enable6to4=true | false
- Automatically enable Anycast 6to4 if possible. This is not recommended, as
the use of 6to4 will generally lead to a severe degradation of connection
quality. See RFC6343. Default value is false (as recommended by RFC6343
section 4.1).
- VendorClassID=string
- Set DHCP option 60 (Vendor Class ID) to the given string. This option can
be used by DHCP servers to identify specific clients without having to
rely on MAC address ranges, etc
- EnableOnlineCheck=true | false
- Enable or disable use of HTTP GET as an online status check. When a
service is in a READY state, and is selected as default, ConnMan will
issue an HTTP GET request to verify that end-to-end connectivity is
successful. Only then the service will be transitioned to ONLINE state. If
this setting is false, the default service will remain in READY state.
Default value is true.
- AutoConnectRoamingServices=true | false
- Automatically connect roaming services. This is not recommended unless you
know you won't have any billing problem. Default value is false.
The following example configuration disables hostname updates and
enables ethernet tethering.
[General]
AllowHostnameUpdates = false
AllowDomainnameUpdates = false
TetheringTechnologies = ethernet,wifi,bluetooth,gadget
