as a follow up, reading from the radiusd.conf file:

        #  However, LDAP can be used for authentication ONLY when the
        #  Access-Request packet contains a clear-text User-Password
        #  attribute.  LDAP authentication will NOT work for any other
        #  authentication method.
        #
        #  This means that LDAP servers don't understand EAP.  If you
        #  force "Auth-Type = LDAP", and then send the server a
        #  request containing EAP authentication, then authentication
        #  WILL NOT WORK
