that would usually mean using your local CA and getting a server cert
signed by that and then using that on the server..... or updating the basic
test
stuff that is in ca.cnf/server.cnf etc to be proper and relevant to your
needs.  the provided scripts just generate quick 'getting started' certs
for testing/early phase that are only valid for 30 days.

and by the way, your clients are not configured correctly if they happily
just install new certificates when prompted...they should be properly
configured in their settings to only trust
a particular CA and radius server cert name (usually use a deployment tool
(free or commercial) to do that
