Structures
| RADIUS_ATTRIBUTE The RADIUS_ATTRIBUTE structure represents a RADIUS attribute or an extended attribute. |
| RADIUS_ATTRIBUTE_ARRAY The RADIUS_ATTRIBUTE_ARRAY structure represents an array of attributes. |
| RADIUS_EXTENSION_CONTROL_BLOCK The RADIUS_EXTENSION_CONTROL_BLOCK structure provides information about the current RADIUS request. It also provides functions for obtaining the attributes associated with the request, and for setting the disposition of the request. |
