We tried this below process on a 4.1 ACS (SE) version. We had a crash after the Cisco patch update.
This Document will describe how to create the network-physics dictionary. On SE version customer don’t have access to the ini file and cannot use our actual dictionary. The customer, must use the
RDBMS feature to load and configure the box.

Define the vendor code.

Add the attribute.

Define the attribute properties.
On version 4.1 and 4.2 a well know Cisco bug may appear. “Malformed radius packet” when the ACS server send the response to the Opnet appliance. This result to a “ bad authentication error” on the
AppResponse Xpert solution”.
All blue part are the .csv files that you need to create. Those CSV file will be uploaded to the ACS box with RDBSM.
Note:
You need to restart the services severals times to apply the configuration change on the ACS v4.2
(SE).
- ACS SE 113 in 4.2
- FTP server reachable by the ACS
