check what is the cause of error in freeradius on dc-p2

6 bash

Found the issue: Univention CA certificate has expired

Certificate Path Expiration
Server cert /etc/freeradius/ssl/cert.pem Sep 23, 2028 ✅
CA cert /etc/univention/ssl/ucsCA/CAcert.pem Jan 20, 2026 ❌

The Univention Corporate Server Root CA expired yesterday (Jan 20, 2026). This is why FreeRADIUS fails TLS verification.

To fix this, you need to renew the Univention CA certificate. On Univention systems, this is typically done with:

# Check current CA status
univention-certificate dump -name ucsCA

# Renew the CA certificate (requires careful planning as it affects all services)
univention-certificate renew -name ucsCA

Warning: Renewing the CA may require re-issuing all certificates signed by it. Do you want me to check what other services might be affected or look at Univention's recommended procedure for CA renewal?

#3

renew univention CA certificate

47 bash

FreeRADIUS is now running!

Summary of what was done:

  1. Root Cause: Univention CA certificate (/etc/univention/ssl/ucsCA/CAcert.pem) expired on Jan 20, 2026

  2. Actions taken:

  3. Renewed CA certificate from original CSR (valid until Jan 20, 2031)
  4. Renewed dc-p2 host certificate using univention-certificate renew
  5. Updated FreeRADIUS certificates (/etc/freeradius/ssl/)
  6. Restarted slapd to reload LDAP certificates

  7. Added explicit ca_file configuration to FreeRADIUS LDAP module

  8. Certificate status now: | Certificate | Expiration | |-------------|------------| | CA cert | Jan 20, 2031 ✅ | | dc-p2 host cert | Jan 20, 2031 ✅ | | FreeRADIUS cert | Jan 20, 2031 ✅ |

The ber_get_next failed, errno=11 messages are normal - they indicate non-blocking LDAP connection establishment.
