We need to be able to track the real user name for DMCA and other security 
purposes.

Our current RADIUS (Steel-Belted Radius) server returns a class attribute to 
the NAS with the user's inner identity encrypted.  The RADIUS server is smart 
enough to decrypt the class attribute when it gets returned in the accounting 
record from NAS and substitute it to for the outer identity.

Microsoft NPS uses the outer identity for the username when authenticating, in 
effect forcing it be the same as the inner identity, you can  work around this 
but then the user can over ride the out identity.

There is a script in the goodies directory "eap_anon_hook.pl" that will tracks 
the users inner identity, but I'm having trouble getting it working with SQL 
Server.

Subject: Re: [RADIATOR] EAP Forcing outer identity to match inner identity

If I understand you correctly....are you looking to associate a user directly 
to a device they own (pda, laptop, etc).?

If so, I think the challenge would be how to control whether the outer identity 
can be changed by the user.  If I were a bad guy, I'd just impersonate someone 
else, and just change the outer identity as appropriate. If I were a good guy 
and needed to attach to the network on someone else's device, I would just 
enter my information as appropriate. Either way, I wouldn't take it as a 
reliable indicator of who is using what.

Having said that, I'm sorry to say that I wouldn't know how to do it without 
research.
