Anyway, we have got some Juniper EX2200 switches. The problem with
these is that they do mac-auth as a 'fake' 802.1x auth. The request
has the User-Name attribute set to the MAC address correctly, but
also has an EAP-Message present, it just doesn't contain anything we
want to have to care about (It actually contains, once the eap header
has been decoded, the md5 of the mac-address). This causes the eap

Wait, what? Seriously? Can you show a debug of one of these requests?

module, if called in authorize, to think the request should be
handled by itself and set Auth-Type to EAP and expect to do eap-md5
(even if the default-auth-type in eap.conf is set to something else,
like peap). However, as we do not actually want to do an eap-md5 auth
we have no Cleartext-Password anywhere for the tens of thousands of
MAC addresses (with new ones every day, which we auth onto a special
'unregistered' network with limited access instead of rejecting) on
our network.

Hang on; is it EAP-MD5, or some "fake" EAP?

If it's EAP-MD5, what is the switch using as the password? A fixed value, or the MAC address?

You might find it's as simple as doing:

authorize {
  ...
  if (EAP-Message) {
    if (User-Name =~ /[0-9a-f]{16}/) {
      # mac-based auth as EAP-MD5
      update control {
        Cleartext-Password := "%{User-Name}"
      }
    }
    eap
  }
  else {
    my_perl
  }
  ...
}




The eap module in this case returns 'invalid' in authentication,
rather than 'reject'. I was hoping I could detect this and tell it to
move on to perl if this happened. I can't seem to make that work. As
soon as eap returns invalid, all further processing is halted for
that request and FreeRADIUS jumps straight to the Post-Auth REJECT
section. Can anyone suggest a way around this?

Maybe. I'd need to see a debug of one of these horribly broken-sounding EAP requests. If it's actually broken, you're hosed. If it's just doing EAP-MD5 for mac-auth with some fixed or well-known password, you just need to set that password.
