You should never use different EAP server certificates across a RADIUS cluster. 
Use the same cert across all nodes (in this case take the other cert with the 
longest expiry and upload it to all the nodes in the CPPM cluster)

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] eduroam CAT Config/Cert Renewal with New Root

You don't often get email from jmill...@fandm.edu. Learn why this is 
important<http://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>
We are currently using publicly signed certificates for our eduroam access on a 
cluster of 2 ClearPass servers.

We are in a situation where one of our certs will be expiring in October of 
this year, while the other is good until June of next year.

The certificate are issued through InCommon, and when I renewed our expiring 
certificate, I noticed that it is showing that is has a root of Sectigo, where 
it was previously Comodo.  The certificate that is not expiring has a root CA 
of Comodo.

This leads me to the following questions:
1.  Is it advisable to run certificates with different Root CAs on different 
members of our ClearPass cluster?  Would we expect to see client issues?
2.  If it's not a problem to do this, can I simply add the Root CA for Sectigo 
to our eduroam CAT configuration, or is there only one Root CA allowed?

Any other advice is appreciated.  I understand that most institutions are 
moving to privately issued certificates in order to get control of these 
certificate chain issues, but we haven't quite gotten there yet.  Our plan to 
properly onboard clients is to use an SSID with a captive portal to direct them 
to the eduroam CAT download.
