an infamous LDAP-FreeRadius question

Actually, I only have the ldap -to- radius authentication when doing a
radtest. There's no eap involved at that point. I think my issue of adding
the EAP/802.1x stuff is where I'm hitting the snag.

You might try not using an ldaps connection if your LDAP server allows it. 
Comment out all the TLS in the ldap section. This TLS/SSL connection to your

LDAP server is a separate issue from 802.1x. That's just between the RADIUS 
server and LDAP. Once you've got everything else going, go back and work
with 
the ldaps. 

The main thing is to change only one thing at a time. Then you'll know
exactly 
what broke it and what didn't. I believe you had LDAP working before, didn't

you?
