We can see in the Cisco ACS logs that the device is being authenticated and that it is matching the appropriate access service but it is failing on shared secret

  *What* is failing on the shared secret?

  You have 3 different systems.  You haven't said which one is failing.

  The shared secret is clearly *not* correct if it's failing on the shared secret.

  *What* says this?

  Please be specific.  The more vague you are, the harder it is to help you.

  Where?

  If Cisco ACS is failing, then ask Cisco how their product works.  We didn't write ACS, and we know nothing about it.

  If FreeRADIUS is failing, then post the debug logs as suggested by ALL of the documentation.
