:abbr:`WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)`, WPA2 Enterprise and WPA3 Enterprise in
combination with 802.1x based authentication can be used to authenticate
users or computers in a domain.
The wireless client (supplicant) authenticates against the RADIUS server
(authentication server) using an :abbr:`EAP (Extensible Authentication
Protocol)` method configured on the RADIUS server. The WAP (also referred
Protocol)` method configured on the RADIUS server. The WAP (also referred
to as authenticator) role is to send all authentication messages between the
supplicant and the configured authentication server, thus the RADIUS server
is responsible for authenticating the users.
