Firepower 1010 FDM and Windows RADIUS

[RANT]

Been working on ASA for a long time, and I have my first firepower 1010 appliance that I'm running the Firepower image on. Can't seem to get the RADIUS authentication for logging into web GUI working.

I've configured the RADIUS server group and RADIUS server. Tested access to the server OK. However, when I try to utilize my AD credentials, it keeps failing with "unable to authorize access". The windows NPS logs appears to show a successful authentication:

Network Policy Server granted full access to a user because the host met the defined health policy.

You need to grant a specific role to the user when they are authenticated via a RADIUS server. For admin access, it's the cisco-av-pair (attribute-value) fdm.userrole.authority.admin.

Hello Marvin, Thanks for your contributions. It has been several years since the original posting but here is where I am at:

Powershell SSH
When I use powershell to log into the FPR running FDM, I use RADIUS credentials that work. The error I get is:

"Successful login attempts for user 'Username-1' : 10
! ! ! Your username is not defined with a service type that is valid for this system. You are not authorized to access the system. ! ! !"
FDM WEB GUI
When checking my objects for Authentication, I run a RADIUS test and it returns SUCCESS.

In the NPS Server:
NPS Policy is configured with Service-Type: Administrator and the Cisco-AV-Pair configured with "fdm.userrole.authority.admin".
The Event logs for the NPS and have a similar message as RANT's post above.

This issue has been observed on multiple FDM versions. We have verified RADIUS secret keys, multiple known working usernames, and reviewed Event logs for confirmation.
