[tac_plus] DCNM tacacs roles

[Munroe Sollog]

According to the Cisco documentation, DCNM expects the role of
'network-admin' to be supplied to grant a user administrator privileges.  I
was able to provide that role using this config:

        service = exec {

             priv-lvl = 15

            cisco-av-pair:shell:roles= "network-admin"

            #optional shell:roles = "network-admin"


             }

However, this causes my switches to balk.  I'm trying to convert that to an
"optional" parameter as you can see in the commented line.  However I am
not having any success.  I have been trying to confirm that DCNM is
actually requesting the role attribute, but none of my debug commands or
packet captures seem to make that clear.  Here is some debug output of both
the authentication and authorization phase.  Any help would be
appreciated.  Thanks.
