APIC-EM Cisco-AVPair AAA Attribute and AD

I am encountering an issue where I am trying to setup AAA for login to the APIC-EM web console. I have added the APIC-EM to my freeradius server and I see an authorization request come through from APIC-EM to the server. My radius server does an LDAP check to see if the user belongs to a group _netops in this case and the user matches and is granted access.

When attempting to login from the web the response I get on the web is "Invalid Login Credentials".

I have noticed on the configuration page of External Authentication there is an AAA Attribute as defined as Cisco-AVPair with the following defined  “cisco-av-pair= Scope=group-1,group-2:Role=ROLE_OBSERVER&Scope=group-3,group-4:Role=ROLE_ADMIN”.

Is it the recommendation to add Cisco-AVPair to the AD schema with the definitions? If so what would that look like as I have seen many different Cisco-AVPair definitions online.

One example is:

Properties                                                        Value

Common Name                                              CiscoAVPair

LDAP Display Name                                       CiscoAVPair

Unique X500 Object ID                                   1.3.6.1.4.1.9.287247.1

Description                                                     CiscoAVPair

Syntax                                                            Case Sensitive String

Also in freeradius I am assuming I would add the following to my ldap.attrmap:

checkItem       Cisco-AVPair             Cisco-AVPair

replyItem       Cisco-AVPair             Cisco-AVPair


Attached is an example of a login attempt as seen from the freeradius server.
