Question

FortiOS 7.6.0 Build3401 - RadSec TLS 1.3 not possible

Hello all,

I have a problem, probably in connection with my Fortigate100F to establish a RadSec TLS 1.3 connection from a UniFi AC Pro AP to an external RadSec Server (RADIUS). The connection is made via a Ubiquiti UniFi AC Pro AP and Ubiquiti UniFi Application 8.5.6 and RadSec is official supported.
The connection via RADIUS works, but as soon as I activate TLS for this connection with the required certificates (root, client, private key), no connection is established.

In the log files I do not actually see that the connection is blocked. The only thing I see is action=“close” - What does this mean?
When I add the external IP in my exclusion list from my SSL Deep Inspection, I can't connect either.
Even if I temporarily deactivate IPS, SSL and App Control, I cannot establish a connection.
I can establish a telnet connection to the RadSec server from the Fortigate and from the UniFi AC Pro AP. However, this is terminated immediately

What else could cause a problem here?

Thanks

Hello Fabs

I'm not TLS specialist, but I still see some issues with TLS 1.3 in forums, "probably" due to its newly implementation one some devices.

Is there any reason you use 1.3? If not, you may try with 1.2 which is still very secure.

Hello,

 

unfortunately I can't control that, as soon as I activate TLS settings in Ubiquiti UniFi, it will probably be sent in TLS 1.3.

"action=close" means the session was allowed, some traffic passed, and then the session was closed.

As you can see ("sentpkt=11 rcvdpkt=8 "), there were 11&8 packets sent in both directions.

Are you willing to share a pcap of that exchange to have a look at it in detail?

Hi @pminarik 

Thank you for your reply. How can I share the pcap file here in the community, since there is no attachment function.
