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 support1.] 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.

Hi Johnny,
Per my understanding you can. It is equivalent to running 2 IGP and installing the entry in RIB table based on administrative distance.

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 AppHello,
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.

Cisco IOS supporting both voice and vpn
Hi Friends
i have one 2821 router.Can any one suggesting which ios will support both voice and vpn?Questions like this are better/faster answered by checking feature navigator.
http://tools.cisco.com/ITDIT/CFN/jsp/index.jsp
My suggestion is to run an MD release.
Also a big dated document:

Which CISCO switch supports SFP, SFP+ and 10G ethernet ports
I would like to have information about a CISCO switch which can support fiber ports SFP(1g) and SFP+(10g) and copper 1g and 10g ethernet ports. And will it also software upgradable to support L3 protocols ?
You can choose from the Cisco 3560-E, 4900, 4500, and 6500 series switches. That's in order of capability (and cost!), from least to greatest.
The 3560-E and 4900 series are fixed chassis systems (the 4900M is semi-modular) while the 4500 and 6500 series are completely modular - buy the chassis and populate it according to your requirements.
In addition to the references cited above, also refer to the Cisco Products Quick Reference Guide (CPQRG), available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/qrg/index.html

Tacacs authorization and Priv levels
Hi
I'm strugling with TACACS+ and priv levels, and hoping someone out there can help me solve an issue.
So, in this enviroment we need the following:
Read-only users
Users with access to some configuration commands.
Okay, the TACACS configuration for the read-only users looks like this:
group = readonly-users {
default service = deny
cmd = show
permit running-config
permit interface
permit privilege
permit vlan
deny .*
service = exec
priv-lvl = 15
# Note that priv lvl 15 has been set to allow the users to run the "show running-config", all other commands than the one mentioned is denied.
The TACACS configuration for the Users with configuration access looks like this.
group = restricted-user {
default service = deny
cmd = show
permit interface
permit vlan
permit privilege
deny .*
service = exec
priv-lvl = 7
And the following has been configured on the switches to allow further configurations, these commands we had to enable after I had made the previous read-only user in tacacs:
privilege interface level 7 switchport access vlan
privilege interface level 7 switchport mode access
privilege interface level 7 switchport voice vlan
privilege configure level 7 interface
privilege exec level 7 configure terminal
privilege exec level 7 show running-config
privilege exec level 7 write memory
It all worked just fine, the read-only users only had access to the commands configured in TACACS. But when I configured the users with configuration access and enter the privilege commands on the switch it stopped working.
Somehow the privilege commands on the switch applies to all privilege levels above lvl 7. Meaning that my read-only users with priv lvl 15, all commands exept show commands denied, they can suddenly enter priviledged exec mode because I allowed the priv lvl 7 users to enter it.
This does not make sense to me, because I've read on cisco's HP that when configuring privilege level commands on the equipment, you allow only that level to access the command, and not all above.
I hope someone can help me with this issue, and it should be solved in the TACACS configuration, because the TACACS server is controlling over 500 switches and routers. So it aint just a question of reconfiguring the switches, that would take the rest of 2011.
I hope you guys know the answer to this.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regardsThanks for your answer.
Well when I started to configure this TACACS setup, I tried to create 2 profiles with privilege level 15 and just allow/deny the different commands. But the thing is that you cannot allow all commands in the TACACS configuration. For example, you cannot give a user privilege level 15 and deny all commands, but allow the user to configure VLANs on interfaces, and duplex settings which is what I want the users to be able to do.
That's why I needed to configure the commands to be accessable from privilege level 7 on the equipment.
If only I could create a profile with privilege level 15 and give the user access to the commands he needs, and only those from the TACACS configuration file, that would make it allot easier, but that just aint the way TACACS works, unfortunately. -
Cisco ISE with TACACS+ and RADIUS both?
Hello,
I am initiating wired authentication on an existing network using Cisco ISE. I have been studying the requirements for this. I know I have to turn on RADIUS on the Cisco switches on the network. The switches on the network are already programmed for TACACS+. Does anybody know if they can both operate on the same network at the same time?
BobHello Robert,
I believe NO, they both won't work together as both TACACS and Radius are different technologies.
It's just because that TACACS encrypts the whole message and Radius just the password, so I believe it won't work.
For your reference, I am sharing the link for the difference between TACACS and Radius.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk59/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094e99.shtml
Moreover, Please review the information as well.
Compare TACACS+ and RADIUS
These sections compare several features of TACACS+ and RADIUS.
UDP and TCP
RADIUS uses UDP while TACACS+ uses TCP. TCP offers several advantages over UDP. TCP offers a connection-oriented transport, while UDP offers best-effort delivery. RADIUS requires additional programmable variables such as re-transmit attempts and time-outs to compensate for best-effort transport, but it lacks the level of built-in support that a
TCP transport offers:
TCP usage provides a separate acknowledgment that a request has been received, within (approximately) a network round-trip time (RTT), regardless of how loaded and slow the backend authentication mechanism (a TCP acknowledgment) might be.
TCP provides immediate indication of a crashed, or not running, server by a reset (RST). You can determine when a server crashes and returns to service if you use long-lived TCP connections. UDP cannot tell the difference between a server that is down, a slow server, and a non-existent server.
Using TCP keepalives, server crashes can be detected out-of-band with actual requests. Connections to multiple servers can be maintained simultaneously, and you only need to send messages to the ones that are known to be up and running.
TCP is more scalable and adapts to growing, as well as congested, networks.
Packet Encryption
RADIUS encrypts only the password in the access-request packet, from the client to the server. The remainder of the packet is unencrypted. Other information, such as username, authorized services, and accounting, can be captured by a third party.
TACACS+ encrypts the entire body of the packet but leaves a standard TACACS+ header. Within the header is a field that indicates whether the body is encrypted or not. For debugging purposes, it is useful to have the body of the packets unencrypted. However, during normal operation, the body of the packet is fully encrypted for more secure communications.
Authentication and Authorization
RADIUS combines authentication and authorization. The access-accept packets sent by the RADIUS server to the client contain authorization information. This makes it difficult to decouple authentication and authorization.
TACACS+ uses the AAA architecture, which separates AAA. This allows separate authentication solutions that can still use TACACS+ for authorization and accounting. For example, with TACACS+, it is possible to use Kerberos authentication and TACACS+ authorization and accounting. After a NAS authenticates on a Kerberos server, it requests authorization information from a TACACS+ server without having to re-authenticate. The NAS informs the TACACS+ server that it has successfully authenticated on a Kerberos server, and the server then provides authorization information.
During a session, if additional authorization checking is needed, the access server checks with a TACACS+ server to determine if the user is granted permission to use a particular command. This provides greater control over the commands that can be executed on the access server while decoupling from the authentication mechanism.
Multiprotocol Support
RADIUS does not support these protocols:
AppleTalk Remote Access (ARA) protocol
NetBIOS Frame Protocol Control protocol
Novell Asynchronous Services Interface (NASI)
X.25 PAD connection
TACACS+ offers multiprotocol support.
Router Management
RADIUS does not allow users to control which commands can be executed on a router and which cannot. Therefore, RADIUS is not as useful for router management or as flexible for terminal services.
TACACS+ provides two methods to control the authorization of router commands on a per-user or per-group basis. The first method is to assign privilege levels to commands and have the router verify with the TACACS+ server whether or not the user is authorized at the specified privilege level. The second method is to explicitly specify in the TACACS+ server, on a per-user or per-group basis, the commands that are allowed.
Interoperability
Due to various interpretations of the RADIUS Request for Comments (RFCs), compliance with the RADIUS RFCs does not guarantee interoperability. Even though several vendors implement RADIUS clients, this does not mean they are interoperable. Cisco implements most RADIUS attributes and consistently adds more. If customers use only the standard RADIUS attributes in their servers, they can interoperate between several vendors as long as these vendors implement the same attributes. However, many vendors implement extensions that are proprietary attributes. If a customer uses one of these vendor-specific extended attributes, interoperability is not possible.
Traffic
Due to the previously cited differences between TACACS+ and RADIUS, the amount of traffic generated between the client and server differs. These examples illustrate the traffic between the client and server for TACACS+ and RADIUS when used for router management with authentication, exec authorization, command authorization (which RADIUS cannot do), exec accounting, and command accounting (which RADIUS cannot do). -

In general, the Trustsec design and deployment guides address the specific support for the various features of the 'whole' Cisco TS (and other security) solution frameworks. And then a drill-down (usually the proper links are embedded) to the specifc feature, and then that feature on a given device. TS 2.1 defines the use of ISE or ACS5 as the policy server, and confiugration examples for the platforms will include and refer to them.

Costing based and account based
HI All
Kindly let me know difference between costing based copa and accounting based copa with examples
Thanks & Regards
PhaneendraTwo forms of Profitability Analysis are supported: costing-based and account-based.
Costing-based Profitability Analysis is the form of profitability analysis that groups
costs and revenues according to value fields and costing-based valuation approaches,
both of which you can define yourself. It guarantees you access at all times to
a complete, short-term profitability report.
Account-based Profitability Analysis is a form of profitability analysis organized in
accounts and using an account-based valuation approach. The distinguishing
characteristic of this form is its use of cost and revenue elements. It provides you with
a profitability report that is permanently reconciled with financial accounting.
You can also use both of these types of CO-PA simultaneously.
(courtesy: help.sap.com)
It is strongly recommended, however, that you do not activate both types of CO-PA. The
major reason being is that you will have significant table size impacts. You must be careful
with account based CO-PA as this creates additional line items in the existing CO tables of
COEP (actual), COEJ (plan), COSP & COSS (summary records). Hence if you want to do any
cost center reporting, say, from any of these existing tables you will run the risk that
performance will be degraded by these additional and unnecessary records.
The only advantage of account based over costing based CO-PA is it's ability to
automatically reconcile back to FI, in much the same manner as you would reconcile
cost center accounting back to FI. However you don't have the flexibility in account
based CO-PA to perform valuations using product cost estimates etc. as you do in
costing based CO-PA. If the reason you were advised to turn on account based CO-PA
as well as costing based was to facilitate reconciliation, it is suggested that you look
at alternatives that won't have the same negative impacts that turning on account
based would have. In addition to the serious table space issues, it is not that easy to
turn on and off account based at will (especially in production).
Instead what you should look at doing is creating a series of reports that enable you to
reconcile costing based CO-PA back to CCA/PCA and FI, if this is required. The complexity
of the costing based functionality you have used will determine the complexity of the
reports that will be needed to reconcile back, but it can be done without turning on
account based CO-PA. -

2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
