802.1X Mac El Capitan profile delete

Edit file /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.network.eapolclient.configuration.plist with superuser privilege, or just move it to elsewhere if there's only one 802.1X profile.

How to do it?

  • To edit, in terminal.app, execute (one line!) sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.network.eapolclient.configuration.plist, then enter Mac login password if requested. In nano editor, saving is Ctrl+O and exiting is Ctrl+X.

  • To move, in terminal.app, execute (one line!) sudo mv /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.network.eapolclient.configuration.plist /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.network.eapolclient.configuration.plist-BACKUP, then enter Mac login password if requested.


I had the same problem and solved it the following way on OS X El Capitan 10.11.6:

  1. Go to System Preferences/Profiles
  2. Click on Eduroam and remove the profile

Now if you go to System Preferences/Network, then click Advanced and 802.1X, it should be gone.

Hope this is helpful
