Hello Marvin,

> In an EAP-SIM based authentication, when the Radiator receives an Access-Request, which attributes does the mobile number and the IMSI belongs to?

IMSI is usually in the username part of User-Name attribute. For example
154321067890123456 at wlan.mnc001.mcc123.3gppnetwork.org

I have not seen the mobile number in the requests.

Note that the RFC says the User-Name or EAP Identity may be the IMSI,
pseudonym (TMSI) or a fast reconnect temporary username. There seems to
be to be a separate method (EAP-SIM specific attribute) for the
authenticating RADIUS to request the real identity.

You may want to see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4186#section-4.2 for
more about the identity and IMSI.

Thanks!
Heikki
