The authentication server stores the list of authorized user credentials and verifies their authenticity during the 802.1x authentication process. The supplicant is the client device seeking access, and the authenticator controls access to the network by communicating with the authentication server. RADIUS is a protocol used by the authenticator to communicate with the authentication server.
