  As would I.  This isn't a RADIUS thing.  It's a Windows thing.

  FreeRADIUS is at the mercy of the Windows system, which is doing weird
things.  And that's not just me blaming everything on other people's
software.  There's really no other conclusion possible from your

  Er... EAP-TLS means that it won't normally do user lookups in LDAP.

  And you should ugprade to 2.0.5.  It makes 1.1.0 look as bad as IAS.
