Meraki will be rotating the RADIUS certificate for Meraki Cloud, how to Identifying network names

[CharlieCrackle]

I received this email today.

You are receiving this email because you are currently using Meraki Cloud Authentication. Due to an approaching certificate expiration, Meraki will be rotating the RADIUS certificate for Meraki Cloud Authentication on February 8, 2023.

Could Meraki please include in emails like this the  "Network" names that are affected?   When you look after many customers, I have no clue which ones are affected without checking them all.

It is obvious you know the name of the network as you know we are currently using the feature.

Also, the FAQ in the attached link should also tell you how to identify the affected networks  (BY name)  for people that look after a huge number of networks.

Q: How can an affected network be identified?
A: Any services relying on Meraki Cloud Authentication via certificates will be affected. This includes Sentry Wi-Fi, Trusted Access Wi-Fi, and any manual authentication relying on Meraki Cloud Authentication via certificates.

At least include the organisation name ...

I opened a support case to at least get all the organisation names affected by this.

I was told  "Currently, we cannot provide the list of affected networks to the customers."

Find this hard to believe when Meraki sent out emails to contacts "Currently Using"

Thankyou to whoever was listening   I got a new EMail and this time it lists all the organisations that are affected Much more helpful.

I missed 1  too  !!

It looks Like Meraki have done it again.  Sent out an email that is generic in nature and does not tell you the entire story and to all customers... 

It is NOT helpful for us folk that look after a lot of meraki networks.

I was hoping after last time it was a thing of the past..  

1) One of our third-party vendors identified an issue:   

What is the issue they identified ??

2) We have identified that your action MAY  be required to maintain connectivity for end devices:

Why do you not list all my customers that ARE effected  so I do not need to go through them all or wait till 2 AUG for the phone call for the ones I missed  ???

WoW  Thats a great tale thanks for the link.... 

Summary  "Recently, we learned that we did not include the underscore prefix with the random value used in some CNAME-based validation cases. This impacted approximately 0.4% of the applicable domain validations we have in effect. Under strict CABF rules, certificates with an issue in their domain validation must be revoked within 24 hours, without exception."

I dont know why merkai could not have linked that nothing bad there.

Thanks Meraki for the updated emails to customers:   (the ones that ARE effected)
