The key here is that is Connect-Info is NOT included, its ignored. This
allows the user to log into a PM2 (which doesn't do the connect-info)
without
a problem and the PM3 as well. Their RADIUS server must have enough
smarts
to NOT enforce this check attribute if the attribute is not in the
auth request. I'll see what I can do about adding something like
this.
