WLC not integrating with Radius Server

Calin Cristea
Level 1
Level 1

Hello world,

I have the following situation:

One WLC 2000 Series (software version 7.0.230.0) with multiple SSID`s, one is with 802.1x integrated with a Radius Server.

Everything worked fine until fiew days ago, when users were unable to logon via they`re certificates on Windows XP.

The infrastracture didn`t suffer modifications.

What i have checked: Radius certification isn`t expired, client certification isn`t expired, the password between controller and Radius is correct.

There are no ACL`s between the WLC and the remote Server. I can ping the devices, other SSIDs on the same controller (wpa/psk) are working correct.

The AP`s are 1242.

I have tried deleting the SSID, configure it back. The OS on Windows Server is  2003 Standard. The AP`s are configured H-Reap.

I have increased the Server Timeout from Radius Authentication Servers from 2 to 30 sec.

The message logs recived on WLC Trap Logs:

RADIUS server X.X.X.X:1812 failed to respond to request (ID 161) for client xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx/ user 'unknown'

The message from the debug dot1x aaa enable:

Is the certificate on the cleint machine still valid and also on the radius server.  I would also try to restart the IAS service or reboot the box just to make sure its not hung.

Hi Scott,

The certificate is still valid on the pc, i even renew it. On the server aswell.

I have restarted the IAS Service, The IAS Server, the controller, access point...

Okay that is good..... this is what I would do next.  I would create a test ssid that uses PEAP MSchapv2 and create a new policy in IAS that is basic.  Allow 802.1x wireless and user group only and see if you can reconfigure one of the XP machines for PEAP.  Can you also post a screen shot of your polices (connection and network) so we can review it.
