AUTHENTICATED, as a result of the Backend Authentication state

machine transitions from AUTHENTICATING to HELD, as a result
of the Backend Authentication state machine indicating authentication
failure.
• AuthEapLogoffWhileAuthenticating – The number of times that the
state machine transitions from AUTHENTICATING to ABORTING,
as a result of an EAPOL-Logoff message being received from the
Supplicant.

Backend Authenticator Counters
• backendResponses – The number of times that the state machine sends
an initial Access-Request packet to the Authentication server (i.e.,
executes sendRespToServer on entry to the RESPONSE state).
Indicates that the Authenticator attempted communication with the
Authentication Server.
• backendOtherRequestsToSupplicant – The number of times that the
state machine sends an EAP-Request packet (other than an Identity,
Notification, Failure or Success message) to the Supplicant (i.e., executes
txReq on entry to the REQUEST state). Indicates that the Authenticator
chose an EAP-method.
• backendAuthFails – The number of times that the state machine receives
an EAP-Failure message from the Authentication Server. Indicates that
the Supplicant has not authenticated to the Authentication Server.
• backendAccessChallenges – The number of times that the state machine
receives an initial Access-Challenge packet from the Authentication
server. Indicates that the Authentication Server has communication with
the Authenticator.
