Thanx Zoltan Ori for ur comments. before getting ur reply i was able to run freeradius server for peap after making following changes in eap.conf file in tls module xxxxxxxxxx eap.conf xxxxxxxxxx tls { private_key_password = whatever private_key_file = ${raddbdir}/certs/cert-srv.pem certificate_file = ${raddbdir}/certs/cert-srv.pem CA_file = ${raddbdir}/certs/demoCA/cacert.pem dh_file = ${raddbdir}/certs/dh random_file = ${raddbdir}/certs/random } xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx eap.conf ends herexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx problem persisted till i added last line( random_file = ${raddbdir}/certs/random) and started working fine after this addition without creating any certificate(i didn't create any). but after this although i m able to start server but its not accepting any requests. What can be the reason? One more query: in clients.conf file we mention the IP range for APs or for end client(supplicant).

Did you create any certificates? Are they stored where you indicate in eap.conf? Do they have the proper permissions? Zoltan Ori --
