  The server handles this request the same way as for any other request:
It does what you tell it to do.

  As RADIUS administrator, it is your choice whether or not to follow
the request from the client.  If you do follow it, you can configure the
server to do authentication, and nothing else.  If you choose to handle
the request differently, that is your power as administrator.

  You can configure the server to do that.  It does not require source
code modifications.
