Correct.
   Thanks for the vote of confidence.
You're welcome. :)

   The point of my comment was that it DOESN"T use names&&  passwords for
authentication.
I did understand this part.

Nevertheless, if I follow the documentation provided with freeradius (e.g. 
aaa.rst.gz) then authorization comes before authentication.

Also
... an authorization module searches a database ... (/etc/freeradius/users ?)
--- if none of database records for this User-Name matches ... authorization 
will fail.

Therefore I'm a bit puzzled that if no matching entry in users is found that 
the authentication still takes place.

I think in that case the behavior contradicts the 'Request Processing' 
described in aaa.rst.gz
