  That's how EAP works.  If you don't like it, go back 10 years, and
change the standards.

  That disagrees with what you said earlier:

1) it doesn't need certs
2) the cert is on the phone

  Be consistent.

  It's impossible to help you if your story changes from message to message.

  And you can't change the way some things work.  EAP-TLS methods
require certificates.  Don't blame me, or FreeRADIUS for that.  All
other products on the market have the same restrictions.
