I know that rlm_sim_files is an authorization only module, and it
doesn't do authentication.

    If I use rlm_sim_files module through adding "sim_files" before
"eap" in authorize {} of radiusd.conf, eap module's authorization
component will not be called, am I right?
    If I am right, how can I use EAP module's authorization component
to set Auth-Type when using rlm_sim_files?


    Waiting for your reply.
