Dear people, I have a Freeradius server that authenticate users against an AD in order to access the WiFi network:
Once a user authenticates OK and access the WiFi network, in the debug log of Freeradius I notice that this user has several access requests at the same time he is using the WiFi correctly.
EAP authentication uses multiple round trips.
Why is this behaviour? Because I thougth the access requests are used only when the user is going to authenticate and never.
That's how EAP works. It sets up a TLS tunnel between the end user machine and the RADIUS server. This involves exchanging many packets. Alan DeKok.
