WPA2/3 EAP not talking to RADIUS

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello Forum,

I have a Radius Server running on a Synology Diskstation.

Just up to today, my WiFi clients used WPA2-EAP 802.1X (CCMP) to connect to the my Linksys WRT 1900 ACS and even after the update to 21.02 this worked just fine.

Today I updated a few opkg packages, I think they included hostapd and wpad-wolf-ssl ..

Now, the authentication is not working anoymore and the Radius Server is not picking up a connection from the OpenWRT Radius Client anymore...

The Auth/DeAuth process is loggd in OpenWRT with:

daemon.notice hostapd: wlan1: CTRL-EVENT-EAP-STARTED [MAC-ADDRESS]
daemon.notice hostapd: wlan1: CTRL-EVENT-EAP-PROPOSED-METHOD vendor=0 method=1
daemon.notice hostapd: wlan1: CTRL-EVENT-EAP-STARTED [MAC-ADDRESS]
daemon.notice hostapd: wlan1: CTRL-EVENT-EAP-PROPOSED-METHOD vendor=0 method=1
daemon.info hostapd: wlan1: STA [MAC-ADDRESS] IEEE 802.11: authenticated
daemon.info hostapd: wlan1: STA [MAC-ADDRESS] IEEE 802.11: associated (aid 1)
daemon.notice hostapd: wlan1: CTRL-EVENT-EAP-STARTED [MAC-ADDRESS]
daemon.notice hostapd: wlan1: CTRL-EVENT-EAP-PROPOSED-METHOD vendor=0 method=1
daemon.notice hostapd: wlan1: RADIUS No response from Authentication server [RADIUS-SERVER-IP]:1812 - failover
daemon.info hostapd: wlan1: RADIUS Authentication server [RADIUS-SERVER-IP]:1812
daemon.info hostapd: wlan1: STA [MAC-ADDRESS] IEEE 802.11: disassociated
daemon.info hostapd: wlan1: STA [MAC-ADDRESS] IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to inactivity (timer DEAUTH/REMOVE)

[MAC-ADDRESS] -> Device MAC
[RADIUS-SERVER-IP] -> Radius Server on Synology Diskstation

Thanks, your support is very much appreciated!

Make sure to upgrade all installed hostapd/ wpa_supplicant/ wpad related packages and keep them in lockstep. If that doesn't help, get rid of the updated packages (factory reset/ firstboot).

Hi sh,

There are no pending updates right now.

Do you think uninstalling and reinstalling wpad-wolff-ssl would help?

Thanks...
