Ok so I recently set up a RADIUS server on my pfSense router based on the FreeRADIUS 3 package and it worked fine until I created a new radius server certificate and deleted the old default one. Now, all my Unix based clients prompted me to check the new cert when I tried to connect but all of my Windows clients simply said "Unable to connect to network" after authentication. I wonder if I have to delete the old certificate but I didn't need to download the certificate at the very start. Help? Anyone?

Are all your devices on the same network? and do all of them point back to the PfSense router?

Yes. My network is set up such that the Wireless AP is connected to a switch which is then connected to the pfSense router. All clients mentioned are connected to the Wireless AP. No VLANs are set up. I believe this is a certificate issue.

Can you ping the router and the radius server from your client PCs?

 

Also, please quote so I I know you've replied.

So you're having issues with your Windows based clients? Are you entering the correct password and username for the radius server?

No I changed the CA

So isn't the issue that the Clients don't trust the new cert as they do not recognise the CA.
What happens when you install the CA's cert under the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities"?
