Configuring the RADIUS Server—Integrated with ProCurve Identity Driven Manager
Manage Digital Certificates for RADIUS
3.
Enter this command to generate the self-signed certificate:
For example:
ProCurve NAC 800:/etc/raddb/certs# openssl req -x509 -config openssl.cnf
-extensions radsrv -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -days 365 -keyout cert-
srv.pem -out cert-srv.pem
N o t e
Be very careful to enter the output files for the key and the certificate
exactly as shown above:
/etc/raddb/certs/cert-srv.pem
.
Otherwise, you must alter the name specified for the private key file and
the certificate file in the “tls” section of the
/etc/raddb/eap.conf
file—which can lead to errors. (See step 12 on page 4-56.)
4.
You will be prompted to enter information about the NAC 800. When
prompted for the CN, enter the NAC 800’s FQDN.
5.
Restart the RADIUS server.
ProCurve NAC 800:/etc/raddb/certs# service radiusd restart
Syntax:
openssl req -x509 -config openssl.cnf -extensions radsrv -newkey [rsa |
dsa]:[512 | 1024 | 2048 | 4096] -nodes -days <
number
> -keyout cert-srv.pem
-out cert-srv.pem
The
-config
option should specify the new configuration file
that you created in step 2. (Make sure that you are in the
correct directory.) Similarly the
-extensions
option specifies
the bracketed name for the extensions that you added to that
file.
The
-newkey
option generates a private/public keypair for this
certificate. Choose
rsa
or
dsa
for the algorithm and then choose
the key length (
4096
is not a valid option for
dsa
). Replace
<
number
>
with the number of days that this certificate will
remain valid.
The
-nodes
option in the command above creates the private
key without password protection. For greater security, leave
out this option when you enter the command. You will then
be prompted to enter the password.
After you finish step 4, edit the
/etc/raddb/eap.conf
file and
change the private key password from
whatever
to the
password that you entered.
