State of the RADSEC connection.

• connecting—Establishing TCP connection.

• ssl-handshake—SSL negotiation in progress.

• open—RADSEC session is established for exchange of RADIUS messages.

• pause—Pause for restart of connection process. The length of the pause is determined by the reason for restarting.

• local-cert-wait—Connection initiated but waiting for local certificate to complete negotiation.

 

Solution

ECDSA doesn't work on the older versions. Device should be on juniper recommended version.
