Portnox Cloud RADIUS & 802.1x Supplicant

The Portnox Cloud RADIUS & 802.1X Supplicant SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor (SAM) template continuously performs real authentication transactions against a RADIUS server and measures the outcome, response time, and authentication success. Rather than simply checking service availability, it validates the entire authentication path from the perspective of an actual endpoint or supplicant.

Portnox Cloud RADIUS & 802.1x Supplicant.apm-template

This template sends authentication requests to a RADIUS server, either over normal UDP RADIUS or RADSEC, then handles the full exchange and reports whether the server returned an Access-Accept, Access-Reject, or an intermediate challenge.

It is good for validating authentication flows end-to-end, especially when you need more than a basic PAP test. This template includes:

PAP and MAB for simple credential or MAC-based checks
EAP-TLS for certificate-based auth
EAP-TTLS/PAP for tunneled password auth
PEAP/MSCHAPv2 for tunneled enterprise Wi-Fi style auth
Standard RADIUS over UDP and RADIUS over TLS
Optional NAS and station attributes so requests look like they came from a switch, AP, or wireless client
Debug output with packet parsing and fragment details for troubleshooting interoperability issues

Use this template for:

Verifying that a RADIUS or RADSEC server is reachable and responding correctly
Reproducing client authentication flows without needing an actual switch, AP, or supplicant
Testing certificate trust, server name validation, and mutual TLS behavior
Troubleshooting EAP handshakes, fragmentation, PEAP phase-2 behavior, and TTLS tunneled auth

The main strength of this template is that it is not just a packet sender. It has enough protocol logic to behave like a real EAP client across multiple challenge rounds, including inner TLS handling and PEAP/MSCHAPv2 processing. This makes it useful for both functional testing and deeper protocol troubleshooting.

While developed by Portnox, this template is vendor-agnostic and can be used with virtually any standards-compliant RADIUS implementation, including:

Cisco Systems ISE
HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass
Microsoft NPS
SecureW2 Cloud RADIUS
Cloud RADIUS
JumpCloud RADIUS
Foxpass
FreeRADIUS
Any standards-compliant RADIUS or RADSEC server
