  • 1.  ClearPass 9002 - Request Timeout - Client did not complete EAP transaction

    Posted May 25, 2020 08:46 AM

    Hi,


    I have been rolling out ClearPass to our company for wireless 802.1x authentication.


    I have now been testing it for wired profiles and currently on a Cisco switch when a user attempts to connect they are getting a timeout message.

     

    The access tracker shows the timeout and the below:

     

    Error Code:
    9002
    Error Category:
    RADIUS protocol
    Error Message:
    Request timed out
     Alerts for this Request 
    RADIUSClient did not complete EAP transaction

     

    The logs show:

     

     

    2020-05-25 13:05:38,396	[main SessId R000000a5-01-5ecbb45d] ERROR RadiusServer.Radius - reqst_clean_list: Deleting request sessid - R000000a5-01-5ecbb45d, state - AHAA6QD9AAG5AwAAJ+ucxvGpis/K+hD2S1ejqA=

    Not sure what this could be be.


    I have selected it to use EAP-TLS  however in the access tracker I noticed this:

     

    Authentication Method:
    EAP

     Any ideas on what the above logs could mean?


    Thanks

    The majority of the time, if this is a new network, it means that the client has never seen the ClearPass Server certificate and has to click on accept.

    If you are using EAP-TLS does certificate is already present in client machine?

     

    Check CPPM access tracker log for more details, if you see access-challenge from server and if it nor receiving any response it means either switch not forwarding the request to client or clients itself not responding back to challenge.

     

    Check switch logging logs as well for more details to see if it forwarded request to client or not.

    generally this error could be caused  by client that moves out of the wifi coverage when doing EAP transaction, it could also be Driver issues.
    but certainly it can also be trust issues for certs on the client side. this is the way the clients handles the trust chain.
