hi

it's a point of view. the certificate can belong to the user or to the
machine in the same manner. windows xp explicitly distinguishes that and
allows you to use machine credentials when no user info is available or
guest credentials when no machine info is available, etc.

if you want to authenticate the user, you have to use user certificates
and put those in the user cert. repository. that's all and that has
nothing to do with freeradius.

on freeradius side according to tls no user passwords have to be stored.
freeradius does not support ldap for certificate storage for eap/tls at
the moment and probably never will (it's actually not very necessary).

on the other hand, you question about password has nothing to do with
TLS. tls is based in PK crypto, i.e. priv key, cert, etc. if you want a
password etc., you should use md5 (hehe) or the (still) proprietary peap
perhaps. that has nothing to do with freeradius neither :-) peap will
hardly be implemented before its standardization though.
