(RADIATOR) Failure reason accessibility

[Jeremy Hinton]

Is there any way inside a <Handler> clause to access the reason for the 
current requests failing, as it is accessible via %1 in an <AuthLog> 
clause? I would like to be able to pass back the actual failure reason to 
the client instead of the cryptic Reply-Message="Request 
Denied".  Something along the lines of the following, where %x is the var 
for the failure reason:

<Handler>
	SessionDatabase	SDB_SQL
	AuthBy			Auth_SQL

	StripFromReply		Reply-Message
	AddToReply		Reply-Message=%x
</Handler>

The reason for this is we are migrating to using an AuthBy RADIUS setup, 
where one server proxies to another. Unfortunately, on the proxy/ front end 
server, the %1/Reason in an AuthLog SQL clause is always set to "Proxy" on 
all login failures, instead of the normally descriptive failure reason. I 
realize this is because the proxy server has no way of knowing what the 
failure reason is from the server its passing the request to. Hence, my 
need to have the back-end server insert the failure text into the reply 
packet. Then i can structure the AuthLog SQL insert statement on my front 
end server to log '%{Reply:Reply-Message}' instead of %1 for the failure 
reason. Does this make sense?
