  Because you're unfamiliar with the correct terminology, and with how
things really work.  To recap:
  EAP-TLS uses certificates to identify users.  And nothing else.  No
passwords, etc.
  AD is a database.  MySQL is a database.  They store user information.
 They don't authenticate users.
  FreeRADIUS is an authentication server.  Where necessary, it pulls
user information from a database.  It also returns user profiles to a
WiFI AP.  e.g. VLAN, etc.
