  See the "realms" module, and the "realm" definition in raddb/proxy.conf.

  Then stripping the realm isn't a good idea.  The User-Name is used as
part of the MS-CHAPv2 calculations, so changing it will make the
authentication fail.

  This is wrong.  You're not closing the opening bracket:

	filter = "(cn=%{mschap:User-Name:-%{User-Name}})"

  If you're using EAP, you *really* don't want to strip the User-Name.
It will make EAP fail.

  What you want is to change the *ldap* lookup so that it uses only the
name portion of the User-Name.  *Don't* edit the User-Name.

  And move the LDAP lookup to the "inner-tunnel" configuration.  That's
what it's for.  Don't do LDAP lookups in raddb/sites-available/default
