Wireless RADIUS components

Figure: Wireless RADIUS components

An authentication service using wireless RADIUS has the following components:

  • Supplicant. The device from which a wireless access request originates.

  • Wireless access point. A wireless network signal transmitter and receiver. The wireless access point must be configured to use one of the following wireless protocols:

    • WPA Enterprise
    • WPA2 Enterprise

    We do not recommend the use of the TKIP encryption algorithm on wireless networks due to inherent security issues. Configure your WAP(s) to use the AES algorithm.

  • Authenticator. The device to which the wireless access point passes authentication requests.
