Re: [IPsec] Clarification on identities involved in IKEv2EAPauthentication

 Policy lookups are selected by Authenticator based on Authorization
information received from AAA server after successful Authentication.
The AAA sever uses an attribute(radius) to send a reference to the
Authorization information specific for the specific client.The
Authenticator need not know the EAP identitity of the client, if it is
different from IKE identity.  

The Authenticator requires to know the EAP identity only if it
implements the AAA server functionality.

And in that case the identities should really be same, and if they
differ then the authenticated identity needs to be used for policy
lookups, meaning that the EAP identity needs to be used. So the gateway
needs to get that authenticated identity from the AAA server so it can
do policy lookups based on it.
