Unfortunately, no, there is no plug in so that freeradius can directly 
authenticate against an ACE server.

I have been in contact with RSA on this issue.  RSA's response was 
basically, 'We've never heard of freeradius, so piss off.'  I even offered 
to write the freeradius plug in.  RSA's reply was that if I wrote a plug 
in, that I'd be in violation of the RSA licensing agreement if I were to 
give the code back to the freeradius project for distribution.

So the long and the short of it is this:  IF YOU WANT FREERADIUS TO 
SUPPORT SECURID -->EVER<--, CONTACT YOUR RSA REP (if you need an address 
to contact let me know) AND DEMAND THEY SUPPORT IT!  (Then _maybe_ they'll 
let me write a plugin that doesn't violate the licensing agreement. 
Maybe.)

What you _can_ do in the interim is proxy against the piss poor radius 
server built into ACE, but that's a sub-sub-sub optimal solution.

Hello Folks! 

I´m planning to use a Radius-Server for the Authentication/Accounting of 
my VPN-Users. 

Is there a plugin for an ACE-Server, so the Radius-Server asks the ACE to 
authenticate the user?
