Hello - I'm seeing an odd message in /var/log/radius/radius.log - freeradius 3.0.20 Fri Jul 21 11:07:24 2023 : ERROR: (106416) eap_peap: ERROR: TLS Alert read:fatal:unknown CA I would expect that EAP would be failing; it's not, apparently, as users are able to connect and auth (WPA2-Enterprise). I've checked our certs (radius.companyname.crt, pem, etc) and they're up to date. When I run openssl x509 -noout -text -in <file>, everything looks good except that the first cert in the chain has FALSE rather than TRUE for this setting: X509v3 Basic Constraints: critical CA:FALSE Not sure whether or not this is a red herring. Either way, it hasn't changed since the first of June (with no new certs and no other changes ) and the error didn't start showing up in radius.log about the first of July. I haven't provided a full radiusd -X output bc it's a production machine, but can do if necessary. thanks/mh -- Death before dishonour, Nothing before coffee

That means one client tried to connect, but it wasn't configured with the correct CA.

The error message also means that unknown users cannot connect. Which is fine. Alan DeKok.
Alan, Your answer's very appreciated! We were concerned that we might have missed something. Unknown users not being able to connect is, well, a good thing! FreeRadius is doing its job. thanks again /mh On Tue, Jul 25, 2023 at 2:25 PM Alan DeKok <aland@deployingradius.com> wrote:
