Well, I'm hoping William can comment.... Those Michigossians
use a lot of Portmasters.... (If only I could remember what movie that
was from.)

But, I was actually thinking more along the lines of whether or not
the Portmaster would accept a User-Name attribute in the RADIUS reply
packet.

I really haven't had the time yet to read the drafts
closely, nor try this approach to see if it works....I will do so, but
this had become somewhat of an emergency. We just told our users to
start using realms, and I must admit that my testing had not been
sufficient.
