Authentication method EAP-AKA' not working

Q/A
#1

Hello everyone,

For my lab I am using free5gc core network with UERANSIM.

I am facing the following issue as soon as I change the authentication method (in the webconsole) of my subscriber from EAP-AKA to EAP-AKA-PRIME.

I saw the only configuration file related to it in the configuration files of free5gc : /config/ausfcfg.yaml and I tried both false and true parameters in case it would change something but I still have the error.

I made sure the configuration of the subscriber are the same between the one I created in the webconsole and the configuration file of the UERANSIM: free5gc-ue.yaml (didn’t find anything related to the authentication method in here)
Are there any other configuration file I need to modify ? or the error is comming from somewhere else ?

Here is the error in wireshark in which we can see that the authentication method selected is EAP-AKA’
so I suppose the issue might be in the UERANSIM ?
