I have started working with the RADIUS protocol (and with FreeRadius in particular) three weeks ago. Congratulations for the product, it is really powerful!

Thanks.

But, when are the authorize() and authenticate() methods called?

When a packet comes in. See doc/aaa.txt

Is it necessary to include in the radiusd.conf the name of the instance (of the new module created) in the authorize section in order to call its authorize() method?

Yes. Alan DeKok.
