Alan,

Thank you for your reply and please find my inline response below.

I tried one of these inside "gtc" sub-section of eap.conf, that don't seem
to work:
        auth_type = ntlm_auth
or
        ntlm_auth = "/usr/bin/ntlm_auth --request-nt-key --domain=MYDOMAIN
--username=%{User-Name} --password=%{User-Password}"

Though I haven't tried replacing User-Password with Cleartext-Password.
Do I have to place this under "gtc" sub-section inside inner-eap?

See my comment earlier. Did I place the configuration at the right
sub-section?

Yes, I saw the ntlm_auth configuration under modules/mschap and
modules/ntlm_auth. As stated in my first email, I am able to configure
freeRadius to authenticate against our Active Directory using EAP-MSCHAPv2
(ntlm_auth) and I am looking to see if using EAP-GTC will work as well.

As I mentioned earlier, I tried both auth_type = ntlm_auth nor ntlm_auth =
"/usr/bin/ntlm_auth ..." command execution, but that don't work.

The reason I am asking the question of multiple challenges because I am
currently evaluating another vendor solution for multi-factor
authentication thru EAP-PEAP/TLS with EAP-GTC and the solution prompts 2
additional inputs during authentication. Here is the link:
https://www.duosecurity.com/docs/netmotion. I thought if they can do it,
freeRadius can do it as well.
