User Guidelines
Some authentication servers will not authenticate hosts where the username
(attribute 1) information is the same as the password (attribute 2)
information. This command globally configures MAB users to send the
configured password in the password (2) attributes. The configured password
is sent for all MAB authenticating hosts.
Enclose the password in quotes to embed a blank in the password.
This command overrides the default mab command settings.
Example
console(config)#mab request format attribute 2 MyPassword
