Using Windows Active Directory For Account Authentication to PS Series Groups 13
Figure 13: Service Type Attribute
Adding the PS Series Vendor-Specific Attributes
Vendor-specific attributes tailor the remote access policy to the vendor. For PS Series
arrays, there are two required attributes, and several optional ones. The required
attributes control what objects on the PS Series group users can manage once they log
in. Group administrators can manage all objects on the group, including adding and
removing members, and creating storage pools.
If you configure the optional attributes, the values will be supplied automatically to the
PS Series group and will appear in the Contact Information fields (except for EQL-
Admin-Poll-Interval) in the Group Manager GUI for each contact. Every time a user
logs in, their information will be updated if it has changed since the last login.
The following procedure continues from Creating Network Policies on the NPS Server,
and assumes the Configure Settings screen is still displayed.
 On the same screen click Vendor Specific in the RADIUS Attributes area and
Add a new Vendor Specific attribute.
 In the Add Vendor Specific Attribute window leave the Vendor at All and scroll
down in the Attributes to Vendor-Specific – RADIUS Standard (Figure 14) and
click Add.
