Aaa authentication enable console (server_name) password issue

Question

Here is the problem I am experiencing and I hope someone out there is able to help;
I have a ASA5510 (running software Version 8.0(3)). I have enabled remote authentication to our company's TACAC server (which is running TACAC open source supplied by Cisco).
The problem is as follows;
I can telnet to the appliance remote and using my username and password (configured on the TACAC server) I am authenticated. But after entering enable - I am prompted with the password prompt. But I can not get pass this prompt. I have tried the same password as I previous enter at the telnet prompt and failed, the local enable password fails as well. Any suggestion.

I think I can help you here since I've been using Cisco
Freeware TACACS+ for almost 7 years now. I am not
an expert, just enough to be dangerous.
Since the code is open-source, each company uses
differently; however, there is one thing that will
always true. That would be the the enable.c file,
which is a C program. You would need to modify
this file so that EVERYONE can have his/her own
enable password, just like Cisco ACS running on
Windows platforms.
the configuration file would look something like this:
accounting file = /var/log/tac_plus.log
key = zFgGkIooIsZ.Q
user = cciesec {
member = admin
name = "ccie security"
login = cleartext "cciesec"
user = $cciesec$ {
member = admin
name = "ccie security"
login = cleartext "cciesec1"
group = admin {
default service = permit
On the Pix:
aaa-server NEO protocol tacacs+
aaa-server NEO (outside) host 192.168.15.10
timeout 5
key cciesec
aaa authentication ssh console NEO LOCAL
aaa authentication enable console NEO LOCAL
Here is the login sequence:
[root@dca2-LinuxES root]# ssh -l cciesec 192.168.0.25
The authenticity of host '192.168.0.25 (192.168.0.25)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is c2:48:15:85:92:7f:56:15:a8:0f:80:d9:88:50:fd:1c.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

In other words, my initial password is "cciesec" and my enable password
is "cciesec1". Another user "tom" will have his own login and enable
password.
Simple enough?
