  Those are server-side attributes, and can't go into a RADIUS packet.

  The NAS has to support this functionality.  If the NAS doesn't support it, then it's impossible.

  See your NAS documentation for how the NAS works.

  If you're writing your own NAS, use a vendor-specific dictionary to define your own group attribute.
