You don't need to for what you want to do, but you should do so in the
long run. There isn't much interest here in version 2 any more, it's
end of life. Version 4 is in the works, and version 3 has been out for
nearly four years now.

OK, I missed the bit where you said AD...

Configure the ldap module to do group lookups against AD. If you add
people into AD groups, let's say one per SSID, then you could look up
the group based on the SSID they are trying to join.

See the LDAP documentation on how to use the Ldap-Group virtual
attribute, e.g.

http://wiki.freeradius.org/modules/Rlm_ldap#group-support

Then compare this to the SSID. Depending on how many SSIDs you have you
might want to do a files lookup to get the group name from the SSID, or
just hardcode it in unlang. Along the lines of

if (Called-Station-SSID == "SSID1" and !(Ldap-Group == "group-ssid-
one")) {
  reject
}

etc.
