ACS - ASA Authorization and Accounting

Hi
I have some questions regarding authorization and accounting on ASA via ACS server
when I enable the command "aaa authorization       command " to control SSH users commands  I get locked out on       console then i have to configure the console , telnet , and enable to be       authenticated via tacacs too , is there any way to authorize SSH via       tacacs while keeping Console and telnet authenticated locally or even no       authentication ?
i issued  accounting command "aaa accounting       command TAC" on ASA but i noticed that the ACS just logs commands in       configuration mod "privilege 15 " not any show command or       privilege 1 , is there any way to fix this ?
does RADIUS support SHELL authorization ?
thanks for your support

1.] Unfortunately, there currently isn't any way to exclude command authorization from the  serial/ console or ssh users while having it apply to other access methods in case of ASA. Once you issue this command, it would be applicable for ALL methods like ssh,telnet,enable,http and console. This can be easily achieved in IOS (routers and switches) by creating a method list.
2.] When you configure the aaa accounting command command, each command other than  show commands entered by an administrator is recorded and sent to the accounting server or servers. This is a default behaviour on ASA. IOS does send/record all show commands on ACS/Tacacs.

  • AAA authorization and accounting

    Hello everyone.
    I am given a project to implement AAA on routers and switches in our environment. Can some one please help me out in understanding the difference between,
    1) aaa authorization exec and aaa authorization command option.
    2) aaa accounting exec and aaa accounting command option.
    Many thanks.
    Sent from Cisco Technical Support Android App

    Hello,
    1) aaa authorization exec and aaa authorization command option.
    The first one authorizes if the user has the right privilege level to enter to one of the IOS priviliege levels (0,1,15) you can customize this.
    The second one authorizes the different commands a user can type and send to the device
    2) aaa accounting exec and aaa accounting command option.
    The first one again accounts when a users enters a specific user-level (Privileged level 15 or Exec user-level 1)
    Second one sends an accounting message per each command send to the box
    Check my blog at http:laguiadelnetworking.com for further information.

  • Problem - acs command authorization and web access control

    Hi, I'm trying to add the control of some aironet 1310 bridges with a ACS 3.2 (tacacs+). I wanted to be able to do telnet command authorization restrictions trough shell command authorization sets and be able to give similar restrictive web access at the same time. I have it working if I permit some commands that are sent by the browser as "write memory quiet" and few other ones, but for it to work, I must give them limited users the privilege level 15 and by having the tacacs server authorizing the commands, it work for both, http and telnet. Where my problem begin is when I loose the connection with the ACS server, the user being already authenticated as level 15 user, the device become open to all commands; there is no more restriction applied by the ACS. Do anybody now a workaround.

    It is already at local, that is just that the user already have a level 15 access and I used to control the commands through level settings before. So when I try it, my user that is localy level 5 is already recognized as a level 15 user from when it was authenticated through the ACS. If I could find a way to give web access to the 1310 at priv level 5 and still controlling the command set, it would be ok but as soon as I try to access a page that is not permitted other way than by the view level (i think it's level 1... or 0), I get a username password prompt with that line on the top of it:"level_15_or_view_access" and the only way I can access it is by entering a level 15 un/pass. I attached my 1310 aaa config
    and here are the command set that work at level 15 to do a "shut" or "no shut" of the radio interface by the web interface:
    configure
    permit terminal
    exit
    permit Unmatched Args
    interface
    permit Dot11Radio0
    no
    permit shutdown
    permit cca
    ping
    permit Unmatched Args
    show
    permit Unmatched Args
    shutdown
    permit Unmatched Args
    telnet
    permit Unmatched Args
    write
    permit memory quiet
    Thanks for the help !

  • HT1206 my other computers have fried or have been broken. so how am i supposed to deauthorize those computers if i cant even turn them on? and why is there a maximum to how many computers i can authorize my account to?

    why cant i authorize my account to this computer? i cant turn on my other computers with this account authorized because they were fried and broken so how am i supposed to deauthorize those computers?

    "why cant i authorize my account to this computer?"
    No idea, as you have not explained your problem.  What happens when you try to authorize it?
    " i cant turn on my other computers with this account authorized because they were fried and broken so how am i supposed to deauthorize those computers?"
    You cannot until you reach the limit of 5, then you can deauthorize all.

    While this won't help if you are having password problems, I did want to point out that you do not need to access old machines to de-authorize them. Once you are signed in at the iTunes store, access "my account" by clicking on your username in the top navigation bar. Then "manage devices".  You can remove any old machines that way.

  • I'm trying to play a song and itunes is repeatly asking me to authorize the account.  I have authorized the account and it will not play one particular song.  What should I do?

    I'm trying to play a song and itunes is repeatly asking me to authorize the account.  I have authorized the account and it will not play one particular song.  What should I do?

    If just one song on an album is doing that, that suggests the track is damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • ACS, Access Service and Authorization

    I am running ACS 5.2 and I am trying to set up 3 new SSIDs, 2 of which are unsecured and 1 that is secured.  I am trying to figure out the best way to authorize them based on which network they are coming from.  All the authentication requests are coming from the same devices, the Wireless LAN Controllers, so NDG cannot be used as criteria.  I have been looking at either creating 3 Access Services and using Service Selection Rules, or creating 1 Access Service and using Authorization to choose.  Regardless, I cannot find an attribute to use that can determine which network they came from.
    Does anyone have a suggestion for the best way to do this?  I

    Go to in Policy Elements -> Network Conditions -> End Station Filters, and create a CLI/DNIS rule that includes the name of the SSID, then use it as a condition in any rule you create for authentication. The SSID will be preceded by the MAC address, so enter *ssidname (ie, match anything before the SSID name, then match the SSID name). For example, if the SSID is called lab then you would enter *lab.
    Then go to Access Policies -> Service Selection and create a service selection rule that has End Station Filter as the criteria.

    Hi, i have cisco ACS 5.2 and want to create user account for technician, with only certain commands.
    how can i achieve this ?
    thanks                  

    Hi,
    You can not do per-commadn authorization.
    But You can assign some of the pre-defined roles to the admin.

  • ACS/ASA authentication for vpn access vs. console management access

    I have an ACS 4.2 Server and an ASA 5540. I have setup AnyConnect SSL VPN on the ASA and want to authenticate users using AAA tacacs+ authentication with the ACS and an external Windows AD database. I have done this successfully. I also want to use the ACS for authenticating SSH management sessions into the ASA. I have setup a group in AD and on the ACS called VPNUSERS and NETADMINS. The problem is, I want the VPN users to ONLY be able to authenticate for VPN but not have access to logging into the ASA CLI or ASDM. The NETADMINS should be able to do both. The question I have is how do I setup the VPNUSER group in ACS to have access to connect to the ASA for VPN but not for the management console? It seems that if they can authenticate for vpn, they can also ssh the firewall which is what I want to prevent.

    Try using Network Access Restrictions (NAR)where you can restrict the administrative access on per device or on NDG basis.
    By default user accounts from external database such as AD in ACS will get authenticated through telnet on network device or a AAA client which can be restricted by enabling NAR in ACS.
    In your case it should be VPNUSERS group in ACS.

  • Acs 5.3 and wlc 2504 config with restricted network access

    Hello,
    i submit you the following issue that i'm actually facing:
    i must configure a secured wireless network with access restriction based on SSID. the equipements are : cisco wlc 2504 (soft 7.3) cisco secure acs aplliance 1121 (soft 5.4) .
    the users that will connect to the network are regrouped by identity groups, each identity group having it's own SSID. Clearly each group of users must access only one SSID.
    i followed the procedure below to configure it:
    -- creating user identity groups;
    -- creating users and assigning them to the groups;
    --- creating authorization profiles for each SSID under policy element/ authorization and permission/network access/authorization profiles and putting the Airespace-Wlan-Id(the SSID number) in the radius tab.
    --- assigning the authorization profiles to the identity groups under access policies.
    after all these config the users can access the network using there userid/password configured. But the problem is Every user can access every SSID, seems like the restriction is so not very well configured.
    i found some documentation on this kind of config but the version of ACS used seems older than the one that i use, so menu are very different.
    Please can someone provide with the right steps to follow to achieve this kind of config.
    tkx in advance

    Yes.. you only have to add the end filter like what I posted... as far as the calling station id in the WLC security tab, it doesn't matter because that is not used when using 802.1x.  I would also try to not enable everything that you have just to start from the basic and make sure it works first.  The WAP Authentication Method might or might not work for you.  Uncheck that for now and when you have a successful authentication, look at the monitor log and see what radius attributes are being sent, because those attributes is what you can use to build your policies.
    Thanks,
    Scott
