RADIUS authentication on Cisco switches: how to assign privilege levels?

Question

I need to configure some Cisco switches (IOS 12.x) to authenticate against a RADIUS server; the server is Windows Server 2003's IAS, and it validates users against his Active Directory domain.

I know how to configure the switches to validate usernames/passwords against the RADIUS server, and I can succesfully login using an AD account; the question is: how can I set privilege level 15 for users, in order to not have to use enable each time?

send back the cisco-av-pair attribute with a value of "shell:priv-lvl=15".
