PPP, RADIUS, and Diameter have been combining authentication and authorization (including host configuration) for a long time. PANA doesn't carry configuration directly, but does interact with configuration systems when the PaC IP address changes. One trend I've noticed recently is that AAA is showing up in nearly every WG. I think it's a recognition that authentication can't be performed independently of everything else. It has to be strongly tied into the network design.
