RADIUS over TLS (RADSEC) has been added to **UniFi Network 8.4** and newer versions. Please have your controller and network devices **up-to-date** before following this guide.

Customers have reported **delays** between activating the RadSec feature on the Unify Dashboard and becoming functional.

## Prepare certificates
To establish a valid RadSec connection, your Access Points must trust the **RADIUS Server Certificate** and your RADIUS server must trust your **RadSec Client Certificate**. To achieve this,
1. Download the root certificate of the CA that has issued your active **RADIUS Server Certificate** as described [here](https://docs.radiusaas.com/admin-portal/settings/settings-server#download).\
In this example SCEPman is used as Root CA and has issued the RADIUS server certificate. So, we download the root CA certificate from SCEPman portal:\
\
\
Afterwards, please convert your certificate to Base-64. This can be easily done via Windows Certificate Export Wizard, OpenSSL or other tools:
2. Create a **RadSec Client Certificate** for your access points. If you are using **SCEPman Certificate Master**, the process is described [here](https://docs.scepman.com/certificate-deployment/certificate-master/client-certificate-pkcs-12).\
In this example we generate a certificate in the format "PEM". Please note down the password, as we need this later.
3. Split the generated certificate into the private key (named "priv.key" in this example) and the certificate (named "clientcert.cer"). This can be easily done via a text editor:
4. Add the root certificate of the CA that has issued the **RadSec Client Certificate** to your RADIUS instance as described [here](https://docs.radiusaas.com/admin-portal/settings/trusted-roots#add) and select **RadSec** under **Use for**.\
In case the **RadSec Client Certificate** has been issued by SCEPman (this example) and you already trust the SCEPman Root CA for client authentication, simply edit the trusted SCEPman Root CA certificate and select **Both** under **Use for**:\
## UniFi configuration
{% hint style="info" %}
Below settings are the necessary settings to establish a functional RadSec connection with our service. Configure any other settings at your discretion.
{% endhint %}
1. Navigate to your Unifi Network controller and open **Settings** **> Profiles > RADIUS**.
2. Create a new profile or update an existing one:
3. Fill in the required information:
1. **RADIUS Assigned VLAN Support**: optional / if needed
2. **RADIUS Settings**:
1. **TLS**: Enable the checkbox.
2. **Authentication Servers**:\

\- **Port**: 2083.\
\- **Shared Secret**: `radsec`.
3. **Client Certificate**: Upload the **RadSec Client Certificate** (obtained from step 3 [here](#prepare-certificates)).
4. **Private Key**: Upload the private key of your **RadSec Client Certificate** (obtained from step 3 [here](#prepare-certificates)).
5. **Private Key Password**: as noted down.
6. **CA Certificate**: Upload the Root certificate of the CA that has issued your **RADIUS Server Certificate** (obtained from step 1 [here](#prepare-certificates)).
7. **Accounting**: Enable the checkbox.
8. **RADIUS Accounting Server**:\
\- **Server IP Address/es**: Provide the IP address of your [RadSec service endpoint](https://docs.radiusaas.com/admin-portal/settings/settings-server#properties).\
