FreeRADIUS Version 1.1.0:

Hello,
we run EAP-TTLS and what we get in Debug-Mode is, that every received
EAP-Packet within the TLS-Tunnel-establish runs the complete
authorize-section and slows down the overall time to create a TTLS-Tunnel.
Reason is, that the User-Name e.g. "NTB-BRINK-610", which is the
EAP-Identity, comes with every received EAP-Packet and is always checked
against the full authorize-section. Is it possible to skip this redundant
checks in the following EAP-responses that build a specific EAP-Session?
(the EAP-Idents cant be resolved in our LDAP, cause that machinenames are
always unknown to us. What we have to check are the inner-Tunnel -
credentials)

kind regards

Yep, this issue is reduced in 2.0 pre1 , the eap module will return
handled (so will skip the rest of the authorise and authenticate
sections) when it doesn't need to authenticate the user, or acquire
attributes for authorisation/ authentication.

2.0pre1 brings to number of full autz/auth runs, down to around 3-4 per
EAP authentication.
