Creating a Custom Vendor

To create a custom vendor:
  1. From the Policy Server section of the navigation pane, select Custom Vendors.

    The content tree displays the Custom Vendors group.

  2. Select the Custom Vendors group.

    The Custom Vendor Administration page opens in the work area.

  3. Click Create Custom Vendor.

    The Create Custom Vendor page opens.

  4. Enter information as appropriate:
    1. Name (required) — The name you assign to the vendor.

      The name can only contain the characters A–Z, a–z, 0–9, period (.), hyphen (-), and underline (_).

    2. Description — Free-form text that identifies the vendor.

      Enter up to 250 characters.

    3. Vendor Id — Enter the vendor ID.

      Enter a positive integer.

  5. Click Save.
The custom vendor is defined in the RADIUS dictionary and can now be assigned a vendor-specific attribute (VSA) and used in a policy. See Managing Custom VSAs for more information about VSAs.
