Meraki Authentication Server Certificate Rotation - Aug 2020

Overview

Due to an approaching certificate expiration Meraki will be rotating the RADIUS server certificate for Meraki Authentication on 3 August 2020.  The following is the expected impact and remediation steps for potential issues.

Meraki Authentication with Sentry Wifi

Users of Meraki Authentication with Systems Manager Sentry Wifi with devices which were online between 1 May 2020 and the rotation date of 3 August 2020 will have no user-visible impact. 

 

Users with devices which were not online during that period simply need to associate to an SSID which will allow them to check in with dashboard for long enough to allow a check-in cycle to complete (~2 minutes) in order to receive the updated payload and resume normal operation

Meraki Authentication without Sentry Wifi

Users of Meraki Authentication without Sentry Wifi will need to 'trust' the new certificate with the below information upon associating to the Meraki Authentication SSID on or after 3 August 2020.  Some devices may require the SSID to be "forgotten" before they will prompt to accept the new certificate.  

 

Host: radius.meraki.com
Issued: Sectigo RSA Domain Validation Secure Server CA
Expires: August 1, 2022

Trusted Access

Users of a Trusted Access configuration to an SSID will need to re-download their device's Trusted Access configuration from portal.meraki.com on or after the 3 August 2020 rotation date. 

Certificate Details

Below is a copy of the certificate which users will be required to accept, as well as the plaintext output from reading the certificate with openssl:
