Error: User-Name is not the same as MS-CHAP name

Hi,

I had a look at this issue with him since he is one of our client.  Machine authentications are working flawlessly, windows 7 authentication as well (no hostname is sent with the username).
The problem is when the HOSTNAME is sent along with the username under windows XP. I tried to set a realm specially for this HOSTNAME, but we got the same error.

We don't.  The sites configuration are very straightforward (almost default), no fency rewrites in the default or the inner-tunnel.

We do not rewrite anything.  LDAP authorization passes properly, but when EAP authentication kicks in, we have this MS-CHAP error.
We are using mschap:user-name in the LDAP filter and in the ntlm_auth line.  Again, we are *NOT* rewriting the User-Name.

We need other ideas here.
