  If the Calling-Station-ID and User-Name only appear in accounting
messages, then you can't check for them in the authorize section.

  That won't work.  Accounting happens AFTER authorization.  You'll need
to find another solution.

  Run the server in debugging mode.  Odds are you'll see something
useful in the Access-Request.
