Hi,

@Padam and magically when I recreate the access-request from NAS after 
receiving the first access accept+username from FR, and when I again 
receive the same reply from FR this time my cisco NAD takes the username 
:D haha , I have opened a TAC lets see what they have to say for this :P

BR,
Anirudh Malhotra
