Could you log failed auth attempts to a database table (AuthLog SQL?) and when a user connects have an initial AuthBy that checks this table 1st, and if they have 3 Auth failures in the last 30 minutes take the appropriate action:

eg If Authlog updates a table called authlog then have an AuthBy that has a query equivalent to:

SELECT Username FROM Radius.authlog
WHERE Username= %0
AND TIMESTAMP > (  UNIX_TIMESTAMP(now() - 1800)
GROUP BY USERNAME
HAVING COUNT(*) > 3

We do a similar thing but in reverse. If the user has had a certain number of failed auths in the day then any subsequent Auth failures result in an automatic Access Accept that puts them into a walled garden for an hour, stops them hammering authentication with bad requests.

Hi,

We would like to block request to our Active Directory if a wireless user have been rejected 3 times in the last 30 minutes.

We have Cisco Wireless Controllers, Radiator and AD. In a university environment a lot of our users have multiple wireless devices all authenticating trough Radiator and AD. We have a password expiration delay of 6 monts in AD. When the password expire for a user, the wireless devices of that user tries to authenticates to the wireless network over and over until the AD account is locked. The account is locked for 30 minutes.

So if Radiator can do that, we would like to block authentication request after 3 unsuccessful requests in the last 30 minutes before doing the AuthByNTLM.

I presume, we are not the only organization  that face this issue.
