The Brocade info states that it should be a string, and not an integer. As well, I'm having to do this through RDBMS, as this is an appliance. That being the case, I'm not should how I'd format the CSV file for integer values (I'd have to look that one up). I'm willing to trying anything at this point, as I'm a little confused as to why it's rejecting the value.

You are actually right about the string part, it has to be string, I gather you are using RDBMS this was just an example that I got from a previous issue of mine with a ini file. What I needed you to look at was the actual VSA value. Take a look at this PDF, did you also reboot the appliance?

The value for the VSA in the CSV file is "1" (no quotes). I had also rebooted it as well. I had gotten the same info that you have in the PDF; I believe it comes from the Brocade FabricOS manual.

Yep, can you post your CSV file here

I've attached the accountActions.csv file that I used.

Here is the one I crated, check if this makes more sense, since your role is just a string and depends on the string it is selected you just only need to define a single VSA with ID 1 and with string features to define the role.

The CSV file that you created has the same information in the same fields as what I had created. The only difference that I can see is that I created the AVP in one file, with a restart (action 355) at the end, then used a second file to create the VSA, with a restart at the end. Does that make method a difference?

You have several "Brocade-AVPairs" values there as per my understanding these values should be entered manually via a string like Operator and so on... so I don't see why these should be there. As for the other roles those are all ok

I had originally started with just the AVP and the one VSA for Auth-Role, and could not get it to work. I then added the other AVPairs, figuring those were needed. Once I found the stuff in the sniffer trace, I removed the AVP (also removing the VSA's) and redid the AVP with one VSA, and it still does the same thing. The way the trace shows it, the traffic coming from the ACS to the Brocade states "unknown-attribute"; that's why I thought the ACS server is putting out something unusual. Can I post the cap?

Please :) post it

Here's a cap.

I see what you are saying, just a little thought, I see that the string shows

"Ad min" as if there was a space there, can you post the sceenshot of the values that ACS has?

Attached is a JPG of what is in there right now.
