According to RFC 2058, Attribute type 18 (Reply-Message) could conceivably
carry this message. Quoting the RFC (sec 5.18):
[snip]
This Attribute indicates text which MAY be displayed to the user.
When used as an Access-Accept, it is the success message.
When used in an Access-Reject, it MAY indicate a dialog message to
prompt the user before another Access-Request attempt.
[snip]
So it would be up to the RADIUS server to pass this to the PM and then for
the PM to display it. The question is what will the PM do with this
attribute?
