  What part of the error messages are unclear?

  Do the error messages say that?

  This error is produced by the /usr/bin/openssl program.  You can run this same command manually, from the command line.

  What's going wrong is that you don't have the right certificates in place.  A google of "openssl unable to get local issuer certificate" will tell you what needs to be fixed.

  Since you're running the openssl program, this isn't a FreeRADIUS issue.  It's an in issue with OpenSSL, and the certificates that you've put on disk.
