[Michele de Varda <address@concealed>]

Dear Stefan,

thank you for your good suggestion.
I commented in the eap.conf the  ca_file directive, you have right: we don't use client certificates.
I appended the chain certificate to the server certificate as you suggested but unfortunately Android systems don't complete the auth. transaction and I have the same error:

Fri Jun 26 15:57:15 2015 : Auth: Login incorrect (TLS Alert read:fatal:unknown CA): [address@concealed] (from client IAM4 port 109 cli b4:30:52:28:38:d2)

Do I have to put only root CA in the cat configuration?
There may be another configuration problem in our RADIUS conf?

The next two weeks I will be on holiday :-) We'll be in touch on the next month.

Thank you so much,

Michele

Hi again,

This is NOT the case for other users of the app. Something must be wrong
here.

the APP configure correctly PEAP as EAP method and MSCHAPv2 as Phase 2
Authentication.
In the CA certificate field of my device I found this certificate name
(see screenshot):

eduroam_WPA_EAP_PEAP_auth=MSCHAPV2

It is correct? The certificate name should be "VeriSign Class 3 Public
Primary Certification Authority - G5"?

That is correct. The "name" is just a handle for the CA inside the
device, it has nothing to do with the CN. Welcome to the wonderful world
of Android :-)

In the EduroamCAT debug window I see only the root certificate with
CN=VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G5
Is it possible that Android needs to install also the intermediate
cert?  The Intermediate cert is present in our CAT config.

The intermediate needs to be present in the EAP conversation. That is,
your RADIUS server needs to send it along with the server certificate.

Where in the FreeRADIUS config did you put the intermediate certificate?

In eap.conf (see attached file)
The name of the intermediate certificate is eduroam_chain.crt

There's your problem. ca_file is the wrong parameter. As the FreeRADIUS
documentation right above that parameter states:

# ALL of the CA's in this list will be trusted
# to issue client certificates for authentication.

So this is exclusively about EAP-TLS *client* certificates, and has no
effect for other EAP types like PEAP.

To construct the chain, you need to append the intermediate CA's PEM in
the same file of your server certificate. I.e. eduroam_unimi_it.crt

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(server cert)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(intermediate CA cert)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

And then reload FreeRADIUS. This should cure the problem.

BTW, the realm checks are supposed to detect this condition in UI (so I
should not need to write lengthy emails). Did you not get a
warning-level information of sorts "Chain only works when considering
the CAT config, but not with EAP conversation information. Consider
adding intermediates in EAP"?

Hello,

I have just tested your realm against the Verisign root and everything
works just fine.

There is not a single warning or error in the realm checks.

Could you verify if you still have an issue?

Hi Gareth,
thank you for your answer.

In the Radius server we installed  both server certificate (in attach

Also in the CAT configuration we put root certificate and chain file
(see attached screenshot). Initially in the cat conf we put only the
root certificate and it worked fine only with Windows and iOS, but
didn't work with MAC OS X, so we put the chain ca file./
//Do you have any suggestions/?

Thank you again,

Michele

Hi,

 
I have tested your eap-config and it looks like it parses OK, and
installs a Verisign CA Cert:

CERT Subject=CN=VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification
Authority - G5, OU="(c) 2006 VeriSign, Inc. - For authorized use
only", OU=VeriSign Trust Network, O="VeriSign, Inc.", C=US

Is this the correct CA cert you have configured in your radius
setup?

 
You have a certificate chain present, so you need to ensure your
radius server is sending the intermediates.

I think you can test this via cat.eduroam.org site using the
realm check.

Can you test this please?

 
Thanks,

Gareth Ayres.

Today the Windows CAT download for Univ. degli Studi di Milano
seems ok.

The configuration for Android is still not working: we tested
eduroamCAT app 1.0.16 only with 2 kitkat 4.4 devices and we
obtain the
RADIUS  TLS error (unknown CA):
/Thu Jun 25 13:44:10 2015 : Auth: Login incorrect (TLS Alert
read:fatal:unknown CA): [//address@concealed/
<mailto:address@concealed>/] (from client IAM2 port 109 cli
b4:30:52:28:38:d2)/

The CA config. works fine with WIndows, Mac and iOS systems.
I attached an app screenshot, I don't know if is it possible copy
and
past the complete WiFi Logs from EduroamCAT App.


Thank you for your support,

Michele de Varda

     Dear CAT developers,

     I'm the CAT admin for Univ. of Milan.
     Today I did some tests changing our CA chain because the CAT
     Android client doesn't work for our university, this is the
RADIUS
     log:
     /Wed Jun 24 11:33:02 2015 : Auth: Login incorrect (TLS Alert
     read:fatal:unknown CA): [//address@concealed/

     Now we can not download Windows configuration, we receive this
     message:
     /"This is embarrassing. Generation of your installer failed.
     System admins have been notified. We will try to take care
of the
     problem as soon as possible."/

     Can you help us?

     Thank you for your great job
