QuestionQ24

Security for Wireless Client Connectivity

Which software runs on the client device and is responsible for supplying the client’s identity (username) and password to the authenticator over EAP?

The authenticator is the network access device that requests and relays those exchanges; it does not run on the client or supply the client’s credentials.
