ASA 5505 Username and Password

Hi All,
I am trying to configure an ASA 5505 with a username and password. I set all the pass words:
password xxxxxxx
enable password xxxxxxx
username xxxxxx password xxxxxxx
When I reload the device it prompts me for the username, then the password and it fails and just asks for the username again. I have even tried to delete the username/password combo but it still prompts me for it. When I do password recovery the confreg is 0x00000001. I am no ASA expert and this is getting a bit frustrating.
When I first configured the device and reloaded it, everything worked fine.....once. Upon the second reload it just keeps prompting me.
Thanks for any help.
Bill

Hello Carter,
Hmm, it sounds like a config-register problem.
So when you are in rommon you got to set the confreg to be on 0x41 so you can ignore the startup-config.
Then when you enter to the ASA please do the following:
enable password cisco
username password cisco
config-register 0x01
wr
and then finally reload,
Regards,
Julio

  • Why do my firewalls only use the domain username and password for login and enable passwords, not a different enable password like my switches do? The RADIUS config looks the same...

    Issue:
    Cisco firewalls require only one level of password i.e. the domain username and password are used for both logging in as well as reaching global configuration mode.
    Background:
    We have multiple Cisco network devices set up which authenticate to our Windows domain controller using NPS (Windows 2008 R2). The switches we have set up all function exactly as we would hope as they require your domain username and password to login to the device. They then require a separate password when you use the enable command, this is stored in Active Directory:
    Switches:
    Username:domain-username
    Password:domain-password
    SWITCH>enable
    Password:enable-password-in-Active-Directory
    SWITCH#
    Firewalls (as they currently are):
    Username:domain-username
    Password:domain-password
    FIREWALL>enable
    Password:domain-password
    FIREWALL #
    With the firewalls however, they require your domain username and password first, and then your domain password again when using the enable command. I want the firewalls to use the enable level password that the switches currently use instead of the domain password again. The current configuration look like the following:
    Current switch configuration:
    aaa new-model
    aaa authentication login default group radius local
    aaa authentication enable default group radius enable
    aaa authorization exec default group radius local
    aaa session-id common
    radius-server host 192.168.0.1 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
    radius-server source-ports 1645-1646
    radius-server key 7 1234abcd
    Current firewall configuration:
    aaa-server DC01 protocol radius
    aaa-server DC01 (outside) host 192.168.0.1
    aaa authentication ssh console DC01 LOCAL
    aaa authentication enable console DC01 LOCAL
    key 1234abcd
    Any help would be great, thanks!

    Cisco ASA works that way by design. You could remove "aaa authentication enable" and then you could use the "enable password" command to set your enable password.
    But if you do that, then ASA would change your username to "enable_15". That would break Authorization and Accounting if you're using them. Let me clarify with an example
    Firewalls :
    Username:domain-username
    Password:domain-password
    FIREWALL>show curpriv
    Username : domain-username
    Current privilege level : 1
    Current Mode/s : P_UNPR
    FIREWALL>enable
    Password:enable-password-from-running-config
    FIREWALL #show curpriv
    Username : enable_15
    Current privilege level : 15
    Current Mode/s : P_PRIV
    If you're using Authorization and Accounting it's recommended to stick with your current behavior.

  • SSH local database username and password not working

    I have a weird issue. I recently setup an ASA 5510 and had SSH working. To make it easier on my VPN users I then decided I wanted to setup a Windows 2008 Network Policy Server for RADIUS authentication. Ever since I added the RADIUS part to aaa authentication, when I use SSH to connect to the ASA it will not take the local user name and password I have setup. I can however get in using a Domain user name and password. Below is the SSH and AAA configuration. Am I missing something here? The username and password in the ASA is not on the domain and it's like the ASA is not even trying LOCAL when it tries to authenticate. I want it to use the local username and password if possible. I'm kind of new to ASA's..
    On another note, I have never been able to SSH in on the internal interface. I always get a "The remote system refused the connection" error message. I can only use the outside interface.
    Site-ASA# sh run | in ssh
    aaa authentication ssh console SERVER_RADIUS LOCAL
    ssh 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 outside
    ssh 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 inside
    ssh timeout 60
    ssh version 2
    Site-ASA# sh run | in aaa
    aaa-server SERVER_RADIUS protocol radius
    aaa-server SERVER_RADIUS (inside) host 10.0.0.6
    aaa authentication ssh console SERVER_RADIUS LOCAL
    aaa authentication http console SERVER_RADIUS LOCAL
    Site-ASA#
    If there are any other config that would help I would be more than happy to display them
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply. I was just coming in to update this because you are exactly correct. For some reason I kept thinking that if the authentication failed via RADIUS it would use local which is not the case.
    Problem (or no problem) resolved.

  • Change the Event username and password

    I am trying to change the event subscription username and password for the Cisco IPS module for the ASA's. I have them tied into the IME, but went through the setup I must have goofed and checked the box that said use same username and password for event subscription as configuration values.

    While I see this marked as answered, the answer is vague.   It lacks real information about the account that was reset.  I do notice that if this event is filtered that the SID is incremented by one for each event.
    Example:
    S-1-5-21-282.....-....-....-5169
    S-1-5-21-282.....-....-....-5170
    S-1-5-21-282.....-....-....-5171
    and so on and so forth.  As it is incremental, there may be an account, local to the machine, for a service that is turned off and the computer may attempt to reset the account when the service cannot be connected.  Possibly a disabled service,
    a bad entry in the registry....  just my thoughts.  If we observe the SID, it is a different account that is reset with each iteration of that event.

  • I have a request from a customer to run a script to create multiple Usernames and Passwords on ACS5.3 appliance.

    I have a request from a cutomer to run a script to create multiple username and password on ACS5.3 Appliance. Does anyone has any suggestion on how to go about this?

    Have you tried using the import option on the ACS? You can put all your accounts in a csv file and upload it into the ASA.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.3/user/guide/users_id_stores.html#wp1132152
    If that doesnt work you can use the REST Web Services in ACS also:

  • Reporting Services username and password prompting

    We have several branch office locations and one reporting services server. All of the branch office locations can access the reporting services server, but we have one location for the passed week, each time they make a connection to this server, it prompts
    them for a username and password and will not allow them to connect even if the correct username and password is correct.
    I have tried adding the server to the IE intranet/trusted site list. Set IE security on all zones to automatically logon with current username and password.
    What is strange is that this is the only branch office site that is having this issue. It is almost like kerberos is broken for this site location only.
    DOes anyone has any suggestions what could be causing this problem for all computers in this one location. Nothing has changed on their local servers nor have we pushed any updates to the machines.

    Hi bubba1984,
    As per my understanding, I think this issue is caused by Kerberos authentication. Kerberos is an authentication protocol that allows clients that create authentication tokens to associate a specific destination to that token. In the failure case, there is
    a mismatch between the destination specified in the token and the report server process configuration. Due to this mismatch, the underlying Kerberos authentication scheme supported by Windows prevents report server from authenticating the user.
    To fix this issue, please try to remove RSWindowsNegotiate and ensure RSWindowsNTLM is specified in the rsreportserver.config file. For more details, please take the following article as reference:

  • Single sign-on and different usernames and passwords

    Hello,
    I am building a Portal with WLPS 3.5 and WLS 6.0. I tried to get
    information about the background of single sign-on.
    I understand, that I need a Realm (i.e. LDAP Realm) to authenticate the
    user for the first login to the portal (with username and password).
    Now I would like to integrate my webmail-programm (to get emails from
    Lotus Notes via Internet) as a portlet.
    For my understanding the user has to authorizate to get access to webmail.
    Therefore I create a ACL for webmail and this ACL is assigned to my
    security Realm.
    I would like the portlet to show after login the number of mails for the
    specific user. But where are the username and password for webmail stored
    and how are they received and forwarded?
    I understand that my ACL included all users that have access to webmail
    (i.e. all users). But I only want emails for the specific user.
    Does WLS get all usernames and passwords while the first login? Do I have to
    implement a algorithmen to get the specific username and password for the
    requested resource in my portlet?
    Has anyone solved a similar problem or can tell me where I can get more
    information. I read the WebLogic Security document but I cant find a
    answer to my questions.
    Thanks
    Lydia

    Lydia,
    I'm not an expert in this area, but I can give you a start.
    As for single sign-on, there are different levels. For single sign-on across web-apps,
    the servlet spec requires this (section 12.6 of th 2.3 spec) and therefore Weblogic
    does this.
    What you are talking about is single sign-on across back-end applications through
    a web-app. BEA has partnered with Securant (just acquired by RSA) to provide this
    kind of functionality. Browse to http://www.rsasecurity.com/products/ and look
    at the ClearTrust product. BEA has also partnered with Netegrity (www.netegrity.com)
    with their SiteMinder product. Neither is included in the Weblogic license. I'm
    sure either vendor would be excited to explain how their product will solve your
    problem if you give them a call.
    As for where the username and passwords are stored, that is up to the realm. If
    you are using the default WLPS RDBMSRealm, the username and encrypted password
    are stored in the WLCS_USER table. If you are using LDAPRealm, they are stored
    in your LDAP server.
    Hope this was useful!

  • Server 2003 VPN clients can't verify username and password

    Hi,
    Hoping someone can help or point me in the right direction. I have a Windows Server 2003 R2 standard SP2 running RRAS. It has Dual NIC's and is configured for PPTP VPN. I am using a BT Business Hub 5 for internet access and using the BT Static IP service.
    The BT Hub assigns the static IP address chosen to the Server using DHCP. The firewall is configured to port forward PPTP traffic to the 2003 server. This all works correctly.
    The 2003 server is on a domain where the DC is a 2008 R2 server. The DC also acts as the DNS and DHCP for the network.
    The default gateway for the domain is pointed towards our WinGate proxy server which also acts as a DNS server.
    The 2003 server LAN NIC is configured manually, usually I would not configure a deafult gateway on the LAN NIC as the WAN NIC needs the default gateway for the BT Hub.
    The problem I am having is if a default gateway is configured on the LAN NIC, I can connect to the VPN and it will logon to the network. Once connected everything works ok. If the connection drops, when trying to reconnect the client can no longer verify
    the user name and password against the domain and the connection is refused.
    If I do not have a default gateway configured in the LAN NIC the VPN clients can not verify the username and password for the domain at all and I get RPC failure errors in the event viewer with the source dnsapi.
    Once this error occurs the only way I can get the clients to reconnect is to disable the WAN NIC, restart the RRAS service and enable the WAN NIC again.
    Any insight will be much appreciated.
