Yes. As we have discussed the important point is to verify that the User-Name used for 
authorization (and accounting) corresponds to the certificate used for authentication. 
The EAP identity shouldn't really matter if the User-Name is used directly for this 
verification. 

I think verifying that the User-Name matches the EAP identity is more of a sanity 
check that can be ignored, without affecting security, if that simplifies the 
scenarios you are thinking about.
