  • 1.  IAPVC to Clearpass 6.12 help - unknown CA SSL error

    Posted Feb 03, 2025 12:15 AM

    I am trying what I thought was a fairly simple scenario - new CPPM 6.12 in Azure, a 510 AP running 8.12, both configured with certs signed by the same CA, and both intermediate and root CA certs added. I'm trying to get Radsec setup but so far all I get is errors in CPPM / Monitoring / Event Viewer saying:

    TLS connection couldn't connect for Client IP x.x.x.x: and Port 2083 Errors: error:14094418:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:tlsv1 alert unknown ca

    Based on a few threads here I checked the IAPVC certs. Iniitally as it made me import the radsec cert as a full chain pem file I hadn;'t added the root and intermediate certs but have since done that as well. The settings for radsec on either end are fairly basic and close to defaults. 

    Any suggestions, or ideally a walk-through for this setup between Aruba wireless and Clearpass for RadSec?

    Did you installed the CA certificate on the IAPVC and configure it to for used for RadSec?

    Thanks for the reply - sorry I hadn't got back yet I haven't sorted my Airheads notificaitons!

    Yes I had added the certs but I completely missed the Certificate Usage part. I've added the root and intermediate to this for Application:RadSec and that fixed it thanks. (not sure if I needed to do the full chain)
