    <title>Overview</title>

    <para>eapol_test is a program that links together the same EAP
    peer implementation that wpa_supplicant is using and the RADIUS
    authentication client code from hostapd. In addition, it has
    minimal glue code to combine these two components in similar
    ways to IEEE 802.1X/EAPOL Authenticator state machines. In other
    words, it integrates IEEE 802.1X Authenticator (normally, an
    access point) and IEEE 802.1X Supplicant (normally, a wireless
    client) together to generate a single program that can be used to
    test EAP methods without having to setup an access point and a
    wireless client.</para>

    <para>The main uses for eapol_test are in interoperability testing
    of EAP methods against RADIUS servers and in development testing
    for new EAP methods. It can be easily used to automate EAP testing
    for interoperability and regression since the program can be run
    from shell scripts without require additional test components apart
    from a RADIUS server. For example, the automated EAP tests described
    in eap_testing.txt are implemented with eapol_test. Similarly,
    eapol_test could be used to implement an automated regression
    test suite for a RADIUS authentication server.</para>


    <para>As an example:</para>

<blockquote><programlisting>
eapol_test -ctest.conf -a127.0.0.1 -p1812 -ssecret -r1
</programlisting></blockquote>

    <para>tries to complete EAP authentication based on the network
    configuration from test.conf against the RADIUS server running
    on the local host. A re-authentication is triggered to test fast
    re-authentication. The configuration file uses the same format for
    network blocks as wpa_supplicant.</para>
