You and Julian are, of course, right about both Radiator and SBR. I was thinking about the problem from a different angle, where the PEAP/ TTLS session was terminating on a foreign system (as is the case with roaming, commercial service providers or a distributed education environment).

Thanks setting the record straight. This topic also reminds me of Benard Aboba's excellent site on related subjects at http:// www.drizzle.com/~aboba/IEEE?

If, in the RADIUS Access-Accept, a User-Name attribute is included, then, according to the spec, the NAS *must* use that value in any accounting records. So, if you can get your RADIUS server to return the User-Name used in the inner exchange as the User-Name in the final Access-Accept, then the NAS should use that in the accounting records.

FreeRADIUS does this by way of a "use-tunneled-reply" option in the PEAP module setup.

How are people handling accounting records for your 802.1X wireless networks? We're in the process of rolling out EAP-PEAP, and everything is fine in terms of our RADIUS accounting records from the APs as long as the users leave the "Outer Identity" field blank - we end up with their real usernames in the accounting records. However, as soon as they fill in anything for "Outer Identity" (Mac OS X) or "Roaming Identity" (Intel Wireless utility), that text is what ends up in our accounting records. Obviously this is suboptimal in terms of relying on our accounting records for true accounting
of who was where on our network.  Is there any way around this?

FWIW, we're using Cisco 1200 APs with a WLSM/WLSE combo, Steel Belted RADIUS
talking to an Active Directory back end.

Thanks in advance!
