  You're not getting what I'm saying.  The "users" file does *not* run
during the "authenticate" phase.  So it makes no sense to ask about
modifying the "users" file contents to change the "authenticate" process
flow.

 A group does not supply authentication information.  Again, proper
terminology is *critical* to designing a good solution.  When you use
the wrong terminology, it means you're not clear on how things work, and
any solution you design will be based on incorrect assumptions.

  The solution here is to define which situations require which
authentication methods.  Usually, this is as easy as looking at the
packet.  Look for differences in the packet between what you want as
authentication method "A" versus authentication method "B".

  Then, write logic to say "when the packet looks like X, choose A.
When it looks like Y, choose B".  This is *much* simpler and saner than
"everyone try A, if it fails, try B, if that fails, try C, ..."

  Think of it this way: If you're driving to Disneyland, you look up the
destination on a map, and drive there.  You don't drive to Chicago,
realize you're in the wrong place, and ask the locals for directions to
Disneyland.

  As I've said, no.

Thank you Alan

I agree with you , regarding the logic "when the packet looks like X, choose A. When it looks like Y, choose B"
I sit possible to apply it ? Which files should be affected ?
The point is that I'm missing packet workflow in the freeradius, during its processing ( something like has postfix : http://www.postfix.org/OVERVIEW.html )

It means so I have no idea what files should be changed, therefore I thought that users file solves everything
Thanks
