ACS command Authorization on PIX Console

wasiimcisco — Sun, 10 Mar 2019 22:51:27 GMT

I have configured the pix firewall for ACS authentication and command authorization, everything is working fine

aaa-server TACACS+ protocol tacacs+

aaa-server TACACS+ (inside) host 172.28.x.x x.x.x

aaa-server TACACS+ (inside) host 172.28.x. xx

aaa authentication ssh console TACACS+ LOCAL

aaa authentication serial console LOCAL

aaa authentication enable console TACACS+ LOCAL

aaa authorization command TACACS+

aaa accounting command privilege 15 TACACS+

aaa accounting enable console TACACS+

but porblem is that i dont wana have ACS authentication while connecting with console. In case of emergency when

ACS down, i wana to get console and access the device by using local username and password

but now after this configuration when i try to access the firewall via console, i m getting error of

command authorization fail.

I dont wana have any command authorization while connected with console, Please tell me how to resolve this issue

I have made the command authorization set in ACS and it is working fine for me,

Wasim,

Seems to be a bug, the issue we are facing with ASA v 7.2, where fall back to local authentication gives 'command authorization' failed with few commands has been files as a BUG.

Here is the bug tool link: CSCsj56051

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/home.pl

***************************************************************

AAA authorization commands LOCAL fallback broken

Alternate Headline: AAA authorization commands LOCAL fallback broken

Symptom: aaa authorization fallback to LOCAL fails, blocking some commands to be executed and displaying "Command authorization failed" error message even though local authorization should be granted.

Conditions:

TACACS+ server communication is lost; LOCAL is configured next in the list.

Workaround: none.

Further Problem Description:

7.2.2 does not show this behavior

**************************************************************

The issue is resolved in 007.002(002.034), 008.000(002.011),

008.002(000.045)

Regards,

Is the issue happening only with console ? If ssh works fine then did the check the bug I mentioned in my last post ?
