  If administrator logins can be controlled via RADIUS, that is
generally documented, in my experience.  This includes instructions on
what attributes to send in a RADIUS packet.  Sometimes, it even includes
sample FreeRADIUS configurations.

  If the vendor can't do that, I don't see why anyone should pay a few
thousand for their product.
