If we try to configure a single interface or just a very small range, it works fine, but if we try to configure a larger range of interfaces, we get a Command authorization failed message, as can be seen below:

Anyone out there has a solution for such a problem?

Hi JG, thanks for your response.
I don't have the appliance close to me, so I cannot check on this setting.
As soon as I have a chance, I will return with this info.
Anyway, why does it work for other devices and also, why we don't have any problem when configuring a small range of interfaces?
Once again, thanks for your reply.

AL

  • Command authorization failed

    I have turned on the aaa command authorization without applying adequate privileges to the user. I can now login through that user but the ASA 5510 displays an error :
    ============================
    EUKFW2# show running-config
    ^
    ERROR: % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
    ERROR: Command authorization failed
    ============================
    I am unable to make any configuration changes on the firewall. Is there any default user through which I can login and disable the aaa authorization ? if not, how can I resolve this situation ?

    No there is no default user. To make him login you need to make changes in the command author set.
    Make one command autho set in acs --->shared profile components.
    add-->give any name "Full access "---> Put radio button to permit and submit.
    Now go to that group-->Under Shell Command Authorization Set---> Choose--->Assign a Shell Command Authorization Set for any network device and select FULL ACCESS from list and submit apply.
    Now it should let you in.
    Caution : This is let that uses to issue all commands
    Find attached the way to set up command authorization.
    Trick here is to give all user prov lvl 15 and then apply command autho set.
    Having Priv lvl 15 does not mean that user will be able to issue all commands. User will only be able to issue commands that you have listed.

  • Command authorization failed ACS 5.6

    I have a new ACS 5.6 appliance set up that uses Active Directory authentication.
    I created a shell profile, mapped it to the authorization rule, and then added devices to the system.
    The first device I added was able to use ACS to authenticate and authorize users without any issues. In the ACS logs, it shows me log in and get the shell profile/privileges (15).
    The second device I added authenticates me, but then I get a "command authorization failed" message every time I try to do something. In the ACS logs, it shows me log in (using AD), and get the same shell profile (level 15). Not sure what the problem is.
    Here are the AAA settings on the switch
    aaa authentication login listASH group tacacs+ local
    aaa authentication enable default group tacacs+ enable
    aaa authorization exec listASH group tacacs+ local
    aaa authorization commands 0 default group tacacs+ if-authenticated
    aaa authorization commands 1 default group tacacs+ if-authenticated

    line vty 0 4
    access-class vty-access in
    logging synchronous level all
    login authentication listASH
    transport input ssh
    Network connectivity is fine, and obviously, the key works (because I authenticate). Nevertheless, I cannot get proper authorization.

    Hmm, the config looks correct, especially if it works on one device but fails on the second. Have you tried to issue some debugs and see if you are getting any errors?
    debug aaa authentication
    debug aaa authorization
    debug tacacs authorization
    Also, is there a version of code difference between the two devices? Perhaps you are hitting a bug.
    Thank you for rating helpful posts!

    Based on what I think I understand in this reply it appears that the problem is caused in the named authorization method of T-AUTHOR. This named method sends an authorization request to the TACACS server. So it appears that the TACACS server is not authorizing the commands that you enter.
    I would suggest this as a first test:
    - login to the device.
    - go into enabl mode.
    - attempt the show run command. (I assume that it will fail)
    - check on the TACACS server. look in the logs for indications of how it processed the request and why it did not authorize it.
    If you want to do a second test to verify the cause of the problem then I would suggest this:
    - remove from the config these lines
    aaa authorization exec T-AUTHOR group tacacs+ if-authenticated
    aaa authorization commands 15 T-AUTHOR group tacacs+ if-authenticated
    then login to the device, go into enable mode, attempt the show run command
    Try one or both of these tests and post back to tell us of the results.

  • AAA authorization fails, but still command is executed...

    Hi everyone,
    i've implemented authorization and it basically works. The user can only use a limited set of commands (show int status, conf t, interface ethernet, interface gigabitethernet, interface fastethernet, shut, no shut).
    Now I try to configure a loopback or Vlan interface, which should not be allowed.

    QUESTION:
    I don't understand what the problem is...Since I get a FAIL from the Tacacs Server I assume that the configuration on that side is fine.
    But why would the switch ignore a FAIL and still execute the command? Same problem exists with the Loopback-Interface.
    Is this me not understandig the basic concept of AAA or is this some other problem?
    The Switch is a Cisco WS-C3750-24TS (running c3750-ipbasek9-mz.122-50.SE2.bin).
    The Tacacs runs Cisco Secure ACS4.2.0.124

    Hi Tom,
    this is CSCtd49491 : TACACS+ command authorization for interface configuration fails .
    The bug is currently in a Closed state, meaning that the "Bug report is valid, but a conscious decision has been made not to fix it at all or in all releases."
    As far as I can tell, the impact is rather limited since the interface that gets created will have no effect unless the vlan exists, and even then the effect is minimal since it cannot be configured.
    You may want to open a TAC case or work with your account team to get the bug re-opened if this is still a concern though.

  • Failed Configuration Terminal Command and Router's Buffer Log Reporting

    Certain users aren't allowed to issue the 'conf t' command on routers. When they attempt to do so they get the message 'command authorization failed.' However, in the router's buffer log the following is stated:
    %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by <user> on vty0 <user's ip addr>
    If the 'conf t' command failed authorization why would the router report the system was configured?

    I am not positive about this but I have an idea that the explanation involves the fact that the buffer log message is generated when someone exits from config mode. I believe that what is happening is that when the person enters the conf t command the router enters config mode, but before the prompt is presented to the person the router checks for authorization. If the authorization is negative then the router generates the error message 'command authorization failed.' and exits config mode which generates the log message that you are seeing.

  • Pix command authorization problem

    help required
    i am trying to configure pix firewall command authorization using cisco
    secure acs 4.2 and a pix 515 running 7.0(5) but have run into a problem
    i cant get it to work!
    i have included the pix firewall configuration below and have included
    screen shots of the acs configuration as attachments
    as you can see i can authenticate ok but that is as far as i can go
    as soon as i try and use the enable command authorization fails
    i cant even enter a password
    i have created two shell command authorization sets
    one called admins which is configured to allow all commands
    and one called restricted which restrics me to only a few commands
    if i apply the admins authorization set to the group where the user
    resides i can authenticate and authorize and i have access to all
    commands but if i apply the restrictd authorization set i get the
    problem depicted below
    i would appreciate it if someone could take a look and give me
    some pointers as to where i am going wrong

  • Command Authorization Config best practice using ACS

    Hi
    Is there any best practices for configuring Command authorization (for router/switch/asa) in CS-ACS? To be specific, is there any best practices to configure authorization for a set of commands allowed for L1,L2,L3 support levels?
    Regards
    V Vinodh.

    Vinodh,
    The main thing here is to ensure that we have backup/fall-back method configured for command authorization, inorder to avoid lockout situation or do wr mem once you are sure configs are working fine.

    Hello, I have a 3640 router with c3640-ik9o3sw6-mz.122-8.T.bin version but when I try to validate the username and password with a radius server, the debbug message is "AAA/AUTHOR: config command authorization not enabled" and I'm sure that the radius validates the user and the packet arrive to the router.
    I've tried to update the IOS with c3640-ik9o3s-mz.122-46a.bin and I can validate but I cannot use "crypto isakmp client configuration group mygroup" to configure Easy VPN server.
    I attach you the files with config and logs.
    Thanks you in advance.

    Yep! I'm really running 12.1!
    I'm receiving the message once i include "aaa authorization exec default group radius local if-authenticated" in the config.
    Login is successful, however authorization does not allow me to go directly into enable mode. If I take the aaa authorization line out I can login to user mode and then use the enable password to move forward but that is not what I wish to achieve.
    sh run | i aaa
    aaa new-model
    aaa authentication attempts login 5
    aaa authentication banner ^C
    aaa authentication fail-message ^C
    aaa authentication login My-RADIUS group radius local
    aaa accounting exec My-RADIUS start-stop group radius
    aaa session-id common
    Is there somewhere specific I was suppose to configure the aaa authorization enabled, because I'm not seeing it.
    Let me know what other thoughts you may have.
    Thanks
    Nik

  • AAA command authorization ASA

    I have aaa authentication working on my ASA with no problem. I have command authorization working for my account on all my IOS devices with TACACS+ and a Cisco ACS. I can not get command authorization to work on the ASA. Every time I enter the 'aaa authorization command CSACS-TACACS+' the system will not let me do anything else and gives me a user not authroized and the ACS shows no log of this request. I then have to reboot the ASA to get back in.
    Current commands
    aaa authentication ssh console CSACS-TACACS+
    aaa authentication http console CSACS-TACACS+
    Entered commands
    aaa authentication enable console CSACS-TACACS+
    aaa authorization command CSACS-TACACS+

    Douglas,
    Try the following configuration:
    aaa authentication ssh console CSACS-TACACS+
    aaa authentication http console CSACS-TACACS+
    aaa authentication enable console CSACS-TACACS+
    With the previous settings the ASA should be authenticating your username/password and the enable password against the ACS server, if this part works fine then authorization should also be working fine.
    Remember to keep another session open in privilege mode before testing "
    aaa authentication enable console CSACS-TACACS+" command. In the ACS server you should be seeing at least the authentication passed report.

  • AAA Command Authorization

    I have an ACS 4.0 device. In the shell command authorization set section, you have the ability to define permitted or denied commands (show) and arguments (running-config). I am limiting users to a specific set of commands. One of the commands is 'exit'. To my knowledge, 'exit' does not have any arguments. If I add 'exit' as a permitted command but enter nothing for the argument section, I get authorization failed at the router. If I select 'permit unmatched args' (for exit), authorization is successful. I would prefer to not select 'permit unmatched args'. Is there an argument for 'exit' that I am not aware of?

    It worked thanks. The ACS servers gives me an error saying the correct format is permit or deny followed by an argument, but the 'permit' has been saved and is working.
    Thanks again.

  • Restrict aaa access using command authorization windows acs3.6

    i need to enable aaa users to shut and unshut interfaces but nothing else. i already have all the users and groups setup but when i modify the command auth set to include "configure" "permit term" they are given unrestricted access.
    any help appreciated

    On the router there's a:
    aaa authorization config-commands
    command, make sure you have that in. You then have to set up command authorization on the TACACS server to allow "interface permit any", "shutdown" and "no shutdown" commands.
