Hi, Many thanks to Glenn and others for providing information. As I understand then after the successful authentication the supplicant is then allowed into the network . I was assuming that the device will send a request like to read / write to a file - If my understanding is now correct please confirm who will validate each time that after successful authentication for supplicant authentication has been done. Please do provide some information as to what happens after the supplicant successful authentication, specifically how each time the supplicant is verified as a verified device.
