Yes.

We have discussed this a few times already on this list:

The eap-radius backend, as its name indicates, uses forwards EAP within
RADIUS to authenticate (usually IKEv2) users. We currently have no plain
RADIUS interface to verify User-Name/User-Password RADIUS attributes.

IKEv1 clients, in contrast to IKEv2, can't speak EAP. They just send
plain username/password attributes in the XAuth exchange. But you can
use the xauth-eap backend: it allows your gateway to do an EAP exchange
(as client) with the RADIUS server using the received XAuth credentials.

Have a look at [1] for the xauth-eap details.

Regards
Martin
