Yes.

Yes.

Currently, EAP-TLS for laptops on the managed service, PEAP/TTLS
MSCHAP stuff or user devices.

They currently connect to different SSIDs, which also helps - but
that wouldn't be hard to change.

e.g.

User-Name matches host/..., do EAP-TLS and make sure we issued the
cert.

Otherwise, if User-Name matches /@/, treat as user.
