Basic Infos

Hardware

WiFimanager Branch/Release: Master v5.2.1 (I tried v5.2 also)

Esp8266/Esp32: ESP32

Hardware: ESP32-C6-WROOM-1

Description

Wifi_manager STA config's SSID becomes blank after modifying STA config's Authmode, generating an error ESP_ERR_WIFI_SSID on esp_wifi_connect() call.

file: "./components/esp32-wifi-manager/src/wifi_manager.c" line 1448
func: wifi_manager
expression: esp_wifi_connect()

The thing is that, if I remove the following lines :

wifi_config_t wifi_config;
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_get_config(WIFI_IF_STA, &wifi_config));
wifi_config.sta.threshold.authmode = WIFI_AUTH_OPEN;
wifi_config.sta.threshold.rssi = -99;
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_set_config(WIFI_IF_STA, &wifi_config));

And change it to :

ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_set_config(ESP_IF_WIFI_STA, wifi_manager_get_wifi_sta_config()));

The SSID is still there and the connexion is successful, I don't get it :(
