FreeRADIUS can read the password from SQL, LDAP, csv files, or 
"users"-style files. It can read the plaintext password, or several 
formats of encrypted password (which must be compatible with the EAP method)

See:

For one specific EAP mechanism (EAP-MSCHAPv2 - possibly inside PEAP) 
FreeRADIUS can also delegate the password check to a windows AD controller.

Is this what you are asking?
