Since all the RADIUS servers I've used (FreeRadius, Radiator, Cisco Access Registrar) support authenticating against a number of different identity storage backends (LDAP, RDBMSs, etc.) ... it would be interesting to know what RADIUS server this is, and why you can't instead authenticate against the same backend store that it uses ... To me it really seems like you are doing one thing the wrong way around because you have something else doing things the wrong way around.
