​A fundamental component of RADIUS is a client's validation of the RADIUS server's identity. This is accomplished by hosting a certificate on the RADIUS server that has been validated by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). If a self-signed certificate(or any certificate from an untrustedCA) is in use, most clients will reject the connection since they cannot validate the server's identity.

For troubleshooting purposes, server certificate validation can be disabled on one or multiple clients, allowing those clients to connect regardless of the certificate in use.

Note:It is strongly recommended to address this issue by using a trusted certificate. Disabling server validation as a permanent resolution introduces security risks on the network.

Windows 7/8

To disable the validation of server certificates in Windows 7/8:

  1. Navigate to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Manage wireless networks.
    Note: If presented with different options, switch from View by Categories to either small or large icons.
  2. Right-click the interface/network in question and choose Properties.
  3. On the Securitytab, click Settings.
  4. Along the top, uncheck the box for Validate server certificate.

Windows 10/11

  1. Navigate toControl Panel > Network andSharing Center> Change adapter settings.
    Note: If presented with different options, switch from View by Categories to either small or large icons.
  2. Double-click the interface/network in question and choose Properties.
  3. On the Authentication tab, click Settings.
  4. Along the top, uncheck the box for Verify the server's identity by validating the certificate.

MacOS

If using OS X, sometimes it can take up to 10 seconds for authentication to complete. This can occur if theRADIUS certificate, or any certificate in the chain, is configured for CRL or OCSP. Please refer to Apple supportfor more details.

For additional information on MerakiRADIUS configuration, please refer to the following article:

FAQs

How do I fix certificate validation failure? ›

This can be solved by reconnecting to the VPN, restarting your router, or temporarily disabling your firewall. You should also make sure your VPN provider is compatible with your chosen network, such as Firefox. An expired certificate is the most common reason for a VPN certificate validation failure.

How do I turn off certificate validation in IIS? ›

Open IIS and navigate to your website or application and go to the SSL settings. Set the Client Certificate setting to “Ignore”. Both 'Accept' and 'Require' will challenge for a client-side certificate. Recycle the application pools and re-launch the browser to ensure the changes.

Is it safe to bypass an SSL certificate? ›

We strongly recommend that you verify certificates for HTTPS sites. If you switch this option off, there is a chance of increased security risks from malicious sites with certificates that misrepresent their identity (for example, a site called gogle.com pretending to be Google).

How do I override invalid certificate in Chrome? ›

If you totally trust the site you are visiting (local printer or internal network equipment), just type thisisunsafe on the keyboard, and Chrome will bypass the certificate security check for this site.

How do I bypass certificate not valid in Chrome? ›

Solution 2: Enable Insecure Site Access

Alternatively, you can bypass the invalid certificate error by enabling insecure site access in Chrome: Type chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost into the address bar. Change the Enable setting to Enabled. Relaunch Chrome for the change to take effect.

How do I curl without validating certificate? ›

The curl command provides the -k or –insecure option to disable SSL certificate verification. This allows curl to perform “insecure” SSL connections and transfers without checking the authenticity of the SSL certificate presented by the server.
