+The `Autz-Type` sections have been removed, and are not supported.
+The `Autz-Type` attribute has also been removed. Its functionality

-= Using the Autz-Type attribute
-
-include::ROOT:partial$v3_warning.adoc[]
-
-*Goal:* To control which authorization modules are executed for an
-`Access-Request`
-
-*Time:* 10-20 minutes
-
-*Files:*
-
-- `sites-available/default`
-- `mods-config/files/authorize`
-
-This exercise is a follow-up to the previous one in
-xref:multiple_modules.adoc[Multiple Modules], and it uses the `byname` and `bydate` modules
-configured there.
-
-Start off by deleting the old log files:
-
-[source, bash]
--------------------------------------------------
-$ rm -f /var/log/radius/radacct/byname/*
-$ rm -f !/var/log/radius/radacct/bydate/*
--------------------------------------------------
-
-Edit the file, and add the following text at the top:
-
-----------------------------
-DEFAULT Autz-Type := byname
- Fall-Through = 1
-----------------------------
-
-In the `sites-available/default` file, edit the `authorize` section entries for
-the `byname` and `bydate` modules to be as follows:
-
-----------------------
-Autz-Type byname {
- byname
-}
-
-Autz-Type bydate {
- bydate
-}
-----------------------
-
-Start the server, and send it a test packet (e.g., `bob.sh`).
-
-Use the debug messages from the server to verify that only one of the modules is
-called.
-
-Look in the log directory, and verify the existence of the files and their contents, as follows:
-
-[source, bash]
---------------------------------------------------
-$ ls /var/log/radius/radacct/byname/
-$ more /var/log/radius/radacct/byname/bob
-
-$ ls /var/log/radius/radacct/bydate/
---------------------------------------------------

-// This documentation was developed by Network RADIUS SAS.
-1. Why is it useful to _not_ call certain modules for a request?
-2. Why is it useful to control which modules get called for a request?
= Connectivity and Interoperability
-This section lists the explains more configuration topics related to the connectivity and interoperability functionality. It starts with a general guide to advanced configuration, followed by specific topics such as using xref:variables.adoc[variables], xref:dynamic-translation.adoc[dynamic translation], managing xref:multiple_modules.adoc[multiple module instances], and configuring xref:autz-type.adoc[Autz-Type] for authorization.
