MySQL can be used to retrieve additional attributes associated with a
given user/host.  It can even perform lookups based on fields in the 
cert presented, but it can't be used to store X.509 certificate data.

No, the easier way is to complete the certificate chain using the 
signing cert which created the client certs in the first place. This needs
to be made available to the EAP-TLS module.
