If VPDN is enabled, the NAS assumes that the user is a VPDN user. The NAS
strips off the “username@” (mary@) portion of the username and authorizes
(not authenticates) the domain portion (corporation.us) with the ACS. See

Figure E-2

If the domain authorization fails, the NAS assumes the user is not a VPDN
user. The NAS then authenticates (not authorizes) the user as if the user is a
standard non-VPDN dial user. See
