Hi,

I have a problem with self assigned certificate when using wpa_supplicant as
(exactly) described 
in the attached old message in this forum.  I wonder if anybody can shed
some light into it.    

Here is what tried to solve it, but without any luck:

* find OPENSSLDIR ("openssl version -d")
* put the self signed certificate ( cacert.pem) in $OPENSSLDIR/certs
* create the hash-based symlink using some script
* then I do "openssl verify cacert.pem", and got ok

despite the above, I till get 

TLS: Certificate verification failed, error 18 (self signed   
certificate) depth 0 for '/C=US/ST= .. .....' 
SSL: (where=0x4008 ret=0x230) 
SSL: SSL3 alert: write (local SSL3 detected an error):fatal:unknown CA

Hello All. 

I've been trying to setup WPA security on my network. As such, I have   
been generating my own root and server certificate, and signing my   
client certificates with said root certificate. However, for some   
reason, whenever I try to use the certificates with wpa_supplicant, I   
get the following errors: 

TLS: Certificate verification failed, error 18 (self signed   
certificate) depth 0 for '/C=CA/O=Radialink/CN=RADIUS' 
SSL: (where=0x4008 ret=0x230) 
SSL: SSL3 alert: write (local SSL3 detected an error):fatal:unknown CA 
SSL: (where=0x1002 ret=0xffffffff) 
SSL: SSL_connect:error in SSLv3 read server certificate B 
SSL: SSL_connect: error:14090086:SSL   
routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed 

whenever I try to authenticate. I am reasonably certain there is no   
problem with my FreeRADIUS configuration, however, I suspect there   
might be a problem with my root certificate based on this error. Is   
anybody able to shed any light on this for me? 

Thanks, 
Phil.
