45    <title>Overview</title>
46
47    <para>eapol_test is a program that links together the same EAP
48    peer implementation that wpa_supplicant is using and the RADIUS
49    authentication client code from hostapd. In addition, it has
50    minimal glue code to combine these two components in similar
51    ways to IEEE 802.1X/EAPOL Authenticator state machines. In other
52    words, it integrates IEEE 802.1X Authenticator (normally, an
53    access point) and IEEE 802.1X Supplicant (normally, a wireless
54    client) together to generate a single program that can be used to
55    test EAP methods without having to setup an access point and a
56    wireless client.</para>
57
58    <para>The main uses for eapol_test are in interoperability testing
59    of EAP methods against RADIUS servers and in development testing
60    for new EAP methods. It can be easily used to automate EAP testing
61    for interoperability and regression since the program can be run
62    from shell scripts without require additional test components apart
63    from a RADIUS server. For example, the automated EAP tests described
64    in eap_testing.txt are implemented with eapol_test. Similarly,
65    eapol_test could be used to implement an automated regression
66    test suite for a RADIUS authentication server.</para>

73</programlisting></blockquote>
74
75    <para>tries to complete EAP authentication based on the network
76    configuration from test.conf against the RADIUS server running
77    on the local host. A re-authentication is triggered to test fast
78    re-authentication. The configuration file uses the same format for
79    network blocks as wpa_supplicant.</para>
