Radius authentication stopped working

Mateusz Bender

I have a strange issue. It seems I broke the Wifi radius somehow (not really sure how or when, to be honest). I suspect I messed up the actual radius settings (we're using a Windows Network Policy Server as our radius server) but I failed to notice the issue when the change was made since existing clients could still connect.

Essentially it seems that devices that already have the Wifi connection saved can connect normally and without issues. However, a new computer cannot connect (Windows) and get's a rather generic "Unable to connect to this network" error.

Looking at the Wireless logs inside the UTM here's what I get:

Any idea what's going on?

EDIT: I may have been wrong about the initial assumptions that existing clients can connect. It seems that I am able to connect from my phone... but not from Windows. So this seems to be a Windows issue, somehow. Normally I'd get a prompt on Windows if I want to trust the certificate - this time I'm not getting one (on my phone I can chose to ignore the certificate immediately).

    I managed to get this resolved. I've had to create a new certificate. The old one should have been trusted, but perhaps the naming wasn't quite right. I also found that MS no longer displays a warning if the certificate isn't trusted and just fails to connect - this can be overwritten by setting up the connection manually from the Network And Sharing Centre in Windows (here one can chose to not validate the certificate).
