I'm not sure you really understand what's happening here.

It's unlikely a captive portal will do EAP, although it's
technically possible. It's more likely PAP, so you just need to
supply a Cleartext-Password for each user. This can be from the
users file, or a myriad of other different sources such as LDAP or
SQL.

Have you tried following the "initial tests" on the first page of
the documentation: http://freeradius.org/doc/ ? Having added the
entry to the users file, then try logging in with that
username/password.

To help further, we're going to need more information. Primarily,
*complete* debugging output, generated by running in debug mode
with "radiusd -X"
