To establish a valid RadSec connection, the MikroTik Access Points must trust the RADIUS Server Certificate and your RADIUS server must trust the RadSec Client Certificate. To achieve this, follow below steps:
Download the root certificate of the CA that has issued your active RADIUS Server Certificate as described here. Since you are using SCEPman, that might be your SCEPman Root CA certfiicate.
Log on to your MikroTik device, then upload the certificate from step 1 above to the MikroTik device using the Files menu on the left.
Once uploaded, switch to your Terminal tab on the top right and execute the following command to import this certificate to MikroTik's certificate store:
Generate a RadSec Client Certificate using SCEPman Certificate Master by navigating to the Client Certificate menu:
Ensure to monitor the expiry of your RadSec Client Certificate and renew it in due time to prevent service interruptions.
Once the RadSec Client Certificate is downloaded, extract the private key, e.g. using OpenSSL, as this will have to be imported to the access point separately:
Upload both files, the certificate and the private key via the Files menu. Then import the certificate first and then the private key. During the import process the private key will merge with the certificate indicated by a letter 'K' as shown below.
Use this section if you want to create a root CA on your Mikrotik AP and generate a RadSec Client Certificate from this root. Please note that all of these steps can be completed either in GUI or terminal.
Download the root certificate of the CA that has issued your active RADIUS Server Certificate as described here.
Log on to your MikroTik device, then upload the certificate from step 1 above to the MikroTik device using the Files menu on the left.
Once uploaded, switch to your Terminal tab on the top right and execute the following command to import this certificate to MikroTik's certificate store:
If you have not already generated RadSec Client Certificate for MikroTik AP, generate one as per the below example. For more information about creating certificates, click here.
Ensure to monitor the expiry of your RadSec Client Certificate and renew it in due time to prevent service interruptions.
Example:
In the above example, the first line creates a root CA called myCa. The second line generates a client certificate for the MikroTik device, and the third line uses myCa (CA) to sign the mikrotik-client certificate generated in step 2. If all went well, you would end up with three certificates as shown below. Please ensure your MikroTik device trusts the relevant certificates (T flag in the green section). If that is not the case yet, set the flag using below command:
Export the root CA certificate (myCa) that has issued your RadSec Client Certificate above:
Please note that the below configuration was tested with RouterOS 6.47.4 and 6.49.11
