Sudden User Authentication Rejection as a result Compatibility - error

[Clement Ogedengbe]

Our primary server has really gone "bunker". Sometimes last week (after server ran without hitches for 2 years), started rejecting users by reporting certificate compatibility problem at the debug level.

After correcting the access privileges to certificates (which I observed may not be correct), the service resumed, but ran successfully only for 2 days and started rejecting users by reporting certificate compatibility problem.

I have checked through extensively and cannot find any problem. I have also tested the server with openssl self-signed certificate, but unfortunately the server continues to reject users.

Best Regards

Clement Ogedengbe

Hi,

> Our 802.1x Radius service has run uninterrupted for almost 2 years. Sometime in the morning yesterday, the server started rejecting authentications and Radius log shows loads of Certificate Compatibility problems as below.

sometime in the morning?  what happened on the server itself - patch installed (eg automatic patches via yum-updatesd or such?) whats the time/date on the server itself - your cert may not have expired but of the time is very wrong that could throw things (and does this happen still after a server restart?)
