Sorry, my question was a bit unclear.

I am using FreeRADIUS version 3.0.21. The server works as expected, but the generated REST request is weird in my opinion. The two attributes "Tunnel-Type (64)" and "Tunnel-Medium-Type (65)" are particularly special. The value type of them is an integer and this is also signaled via REST, but the value provided is the string representation of the integer.


Currently signaled via REST (FreeRADIUS 3.0.21):
Debug: (10) rest: Encoding attribute "Tunnel-Type"
Debug: (10) rest:   Type   : integer
Debug: (10) rest:   Length : 3
Debug: (10) rest:   Value  : "VLAN"
Debug: (10) rest: Encoding attribute "Tunnel-Medium-Type"
Debug: (10) rest:   Type   : integer
Debug: (10) rest:   Length : 8
Debug: (10) rest:   Value  : "IEEE-802"
...
Debug: (32) rest: JSON Data: {"Tunnel-Type":{"type":"integer","value":["VLAN"]},"Tunnel-Medium-Type":{"type":"integer","value":["IEEE-802"]}}


What I would expect:
Debug: (10) rest: Encoding attribute "Tunnel-Type"
Debug: (10) rest:   Type   : integer
Debug: (10) rest:   Length : 3
Debug: (10) rest:   Value  : "13"
Debug: (10) rest: Encoding attribute "Tunnel-Medium-Type"
Debug: (10) rest:   Type   : integer
Debug: (10) rest:   Length : 8
Debug: (10) rest:   Value  : "6"
...
Debug: (32) rest: JSON Data: {"Tunnel-Type":{"type":"integer","value":[13]},"Tunnel-Medium-Type":{"type":"integer","value":[6]}}


I am not sure if this behavior was intended by Arran Cudbard-Bell.
