sta_settings.conf file.
3. Now we need to edit “eap” file which contains the paths consisting of certificates and information about the EAP-

$ vim /usr/local/etc/raddb/mods-enabled/eap
If Free-radius version is below 3.x “eap”, it will be located in raddb folder and will be named as “eap.conf”.

tls-config tls-common {
#private_key_password = whatever
private_key_password = Wi-Fi
#private_key_file = ${certdir}/server.pem
