Note
To enable MS-CHAPv2 as the protocol used between the ASA and the RADIUS server for a VPN
connection, password management must be enabled in the tunnel group general attributes. Enabling
password management generates an MS-CHAPv2 authentication request from the ASA to the RADIUS
server. See the description of the password-management command for details.
If you use double authentication and enable password management in the tunnel group, then the primary
and secondary authentication requests include MS-CHAPv2 request attributes. If a RADIUS server does
not support MS-CHAPv2, then you can configure that server to send a non-MS-CHAPv2 authentication
request by using the no mschapv2-capable command.

Cisco VSA (Cisco-Priv-Level), which provides a standard 0-15 numeric ranking of privileges, with
1 being the lowest level and 15 being the highest level. A zero level indicates no privileges. The first
level (login) allows privileged EXEC access for the commands available at this level. The second
level (enable) allows CLI configuration privileges.
