Because you don't have a password to do a simple bind with. During authorization, you are programming the username/password into radius.conf. So, ldap has a username/password to bind with. During authentication, if you use ldap, it uses the username/password that comes in the access-request to bind with. In this case, you don't have a user-password because you're doing CHAP.

Can you get your NAS to send over the Access-Request with a plaintext password (PAP)? Then it will work, just like it does when you use radclient.
