RE: password in EAP request

6 Oct 2011


      I agreed, the EAP message sent from Access Point does not send the password. The client sends the encrypted password.
I think I should ask, how FreeRadius can retrieve the password in 802.1x authentication mechanism.

Hi,
I was told there is a plugin for FreeRadius that can be used to retrieve
the username/password of the EAP request. Is this true?
No.
As others have said, EAP does not usually send the password.
I would advise you go and read up on EAP, and how EAP methods work.
