Thanks Alan,

I was hoping I could use reply|:|Reply-Message to store the reason for 
reject and then use the message column in radpostauth table to store 
this value.

Then I came across a reference to RFC3579 which states that sending 
Reply-Message in EAP could cause problems. I am using PEAP. So, is there 
another attribute I could use to set the reason for reject and 
eventually store it in radpostauth table?
