OpenLDAP supports sql authentication via ODBC and back-sql. See the
back-sql manpage, and sections 11.11 and 1.8 of the Administrator's guide
for an PostgreSQL example and discussion. I would not recommend it, unless
you have an entrenched environment and know what you're doing.

RADIUS, MySQL, and OpenLDAP are orthogonal. A RADIUS server, such as
FreeRADIUS can be configured to use MySQL or LDAP for its credentials
database.
