With our RADIUS-Backend we just wrote our own
"checkPass(user,pass)->bool" and do the rest via users.auth.php. So it's
possible, but perhaps you have to customize/enhance the LDAP-Backend.

I have to update http://www.dokuwiki.org/auth:radius when i find the
time, since we really extend auth_basic such that we can use the
user_manager plugin.

Let me know if you're interested in this.

Sebastian.
