Need Call flow diagram for WPA2 EAP authentication with NPS server including DHCP and authentication flow
Hello Avanindra,
Here’s a detailed call flow diagram for WPA2 EAP authentication using an NPS server, including DHCP and authentication flow:
1. Client Device Initialization
- Client: Turns on Wi-Fi and initiates connection to the Access Point (AP).
2. DHCP Discovery
- Client: Sends a DHCP Discover message to request an IP address.
- DHCP Server: Responds with a DHCP Offer.
- Client: Sends a DHCP Request to confirm the offered IP address.
- DHCP Server: Sends a DHCP Acknowledgement to finalize the IP address allocation.
3. 802.1X Authentication Initiation
- Client: Initiates 802.1X authentication by sending an EAPOL-Start message to the Access Point (AP).
- AP: Sends an EAP-Request/Identity message to the Client.
4. EAP Authentication
- Client: Responds with an EAP-Response/Identity message containing its identity.
- AP: Forwards the EAP-Response/Identity message to the RADIUS/NPS Server.
5. NPS Server Authentication Process
- NPS Server: Processes the EAP-Response/Identity message and sends an EAP-Request/Challenge (e.g., EAP-TLS) back to the Client via the AP.
- AP: Forwards the EAP-Request/Challenge to the Client.
- Client: Responds with an EAP-Response containing the necessary credentials (e.g., certificate or username/password).
- AP: Forwards the EAP-Response to the NPS Server.
- NPS Server: Validates the credentials against its policies and user database. If valid, it sends an EAP-Success message back to the Client via the AP.
- AP: Forwards the EAP-Success message to the Client.
6. Encryption Key Generation
- Client and AP: Perform the 4-Way Handshake to generate and exchange encryption keys.
- Message 1: AP sends ANonce (a random number) to the Client.
- Message 2: Client generates SNonce and derives PTK (Pairwise Transient Key) using ANonce, SNonce, PMK (Pairwise Master Key), and the Client/AP MAC addresses. Sends SNonce and MIC (Message Integrity Code) to the AP.
- Message 3: AP verifies the MIC, derives the PTK, and sends Group Temporal Key (GTK) and another MIC to the Client.
- Message 4: Client installs the GTK and sends an acknowledgment to the AP.
7. DHCP Renewal (if necessary)
- Client: May renew DHCP lease to ensure IP connectivity post-authentication.
- DHCP Server: Handles the DHCP Renewal process as described in the initial DHCP Discovery step.
8. Secure Data Transmission
- Client and AP: Start secure communication using the established WPA2 encryption.
Explanation
- Client: The user device initiating the connection.
- AP: Access Point that serves as the intermediary for the wireless connection.
- NPS Server: Network Policy Server handling the EAP authentication.
- DHCP Server: Server assigning IP addresses to clients.
