You don't need Linux authentication for that. You can use Radius, with some other backend, like MySQL. In that case, the Userid can be whatever you like for RAS authentication.

Hello:
Yes, I just noticed the other thread. I think two people were working on the same problem.
We are going to outsource our dial-in. Therefore, we are required to include UID & out URL so the realm can be identified. Using email address is simple and easy! Any suggestions?

Hello List:
I am new to this list and this is my first posting.
Presently, I am using Red Hat 9.0 and soon planning to switch over to CentOS. I have one question. In RH user names can not contain special characters. For example my UID is 'kbajwa' and my email address is kbajwa@tibonline.net. Since '@' in the email address is a special
character,
I can not use my email as my UID.
Can I use email address as UID in CentOS?
My god it's a flashback to the OTHER thread I was just reading... To answer your question, no. It won't work in centos or rhel.
