  You need to separate the rules for the outer && inner identity.

  The default configuration has the same "users" file being processed
for both the outer && inner sessions.  You might need to create a rule
to ignore it on the outer tunnel.

  Don't use Autz-Type in 2.1.x.  "unlang" is better and more powerful.

  Try editing raddb/sites-enabled/default, and commenting out the
"files" line in the "authorize" section.  This will skip the "users"
file outside of the tunnel.

  Or, add a separate "files" module, and run that one inside of the tunnel.
