RADIUS debug log shows the following:

rc//radius/ace_radius/ace_radius_receive.cpp(174): Received auth packet
rc//radius/ace_radius/ace_radius_receive.cpp(185): Discarded auth packet

Note that "No user or password in the packet" is a good indication that the RADIUS packet being received by the ACE RADIUS contains CHAP information.
 
Cause
Router or communication device is configured to use CHAP when sending RADIUS authentications
Resolution
CHAP is not a supported protocol with RSA's ACE RADIUS implementation. Please use PAP which is supported by the RSA ACE RADIUS.
