The first part is correct (and reason for it is that IEEE 802.1X uses
EAP, not CHAP etc.), but the conclusion is not. That should have been:
"Consequently RADIUS server must be configured for EAP authentication."
There is no User-Password attribute in RADIUS messages carrying EAP. The
authentication is done using EAP-Message attributes (i.e., within EAP).
