Abstract
The presently claimed disclosure is directed to methods that may be implemented at a computer. Methods and systems consistent with the present disclosure may include extending protocols associated with authenticating client (i.e. supplicant) devices and with authorizing those supplicant devices to access a wireless network. These methods may include sending data relating to the failure of an authentication and/or an authorization process to a supplicant device attempting to access a wireless network. Methods discussed within may include securely sending failure codes or reasons to a supplicant device that identify why an authentication or authorization process failed. These methods may include sending messages between a supplicant device, an authenticator device, and an authentication and authorization server. After a first failure, the supplicant device may be able to access the wireless network after a reason or code of that failure has been reported to the supplicant device.
