        So after searching a little bit i was able to use PFsense as an Wpa2 Enterprise Client with EAP TTLS.
        The configuration file for the wpa_supplicant_ath0.conf which was provided by the university was the following:
        ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
        ctrl_interface_group=0
        eapol_version=1
        ap_scan=1
        fast_reauth=1
        network={
                ssid="TUD"
                proto=WPA2
                key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
                eap=TTLS
                anonymous_identity="anonymous"
                identity=".ichbins.hrz.tu"
                password="das ist mein Password"
                ca_cert="/etc/tmp/tud.pem"
                phase2="auth=PAP"
        }

        However the Problem with this Approach is, that if i Click on the Status->interface->Wan (release/renew) button it will take the Parameters from config.xml.
        Adding the following tags to config.xml
        <eap>TTLS</eap>
        <anonymous_identity>"anonymous"</anonymous_identity>
        <identity>".ichbins.hrz.tu"</identity>
        <password>"das ist mein Password"</password>
        <ca_cert>"/tmp/tudcerts.pem"</ca_cert>
        <phase2>"auth=PAP"</phase2>

        Did not work, could some give me a hint on how to "expand" config.xml for this additional fields, that the generated wpa_supplicant_ath0.conf will match the one provided from the University ?
        Regards

          Interesting, maybe these parameters could just be integrated into the gui?
