Configure Cisco Secure Client remote access to FTD with supported authentication, client profile, access restrictions, and split tunnel settings. This response applies to Cisco Secure Client remote VPN policy, not the controlling requirement in this case. Remote client tunnel success, user authentication, and authorized application reachability are distinct troubleshooting checkpoints. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Trace RADIUS network-access request and decision paths to isolate credential, shared secret, policy, or reachability failures. Situation: A switch has correct credentials for an access policy but sends the wrong NAS identifier and matches the guest policy.

Use TACACS+ to centralize device administrator identity and command authorization with accountable audit trails. This response applies to TACACS+ administration authorization, not the controlling requirement in this case. TACACS+ commonly separates authentication, authorization, and accounting for network device administration; user authentication alone does not grant every command. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Trace RADIUS network-access request and decision paths to isolate credential, shared secret, policy, or reachability failures. Situation: A switch has correct credentials for an access policy but sends the wrong NAS identifier and matches the guest policy.

For this scenario, the targeted action is: Trace RADIUS network-access request and decision paths to isolate credential, shared secret, policy, or reachability failures. Situation: A switch has correct credentials for an access policy but sends the wrong NAS identifier and matches the guest policy.
