That’s a good choice.  We had a project to do that a while back, it just didn’t end up progressing far.

I think the approach of using the Rest interface instead SQL is good.  The SQL format is too limiting.

Not sure what “mail order” is, but sure.

The request/response format is documented here:

	https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/blob/v4.0.x/raddb/mods-available/rest#L92

If you want response attributes to go into different lists, then you can qualify the attribute name with a list name.

For your example of Auth-Type the JSON for ‘Accept’ would be:

{
	“control:Auth-Type”:”Accept"
}

and for reject:

{
	“control:Auth-Type”:”Reject"
}

Let me know if this doesn’t work.  I’m fairly sure I added list qualifier extraction to the rim_rest module.  If I didn’t it’s a simple fix.
