User for a specific context

hedhli.wael — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 14:26:16 GMT

hi ,

is it possible to create a user to access only one context in ASA?
I tried to create an admin user in one context, but I always get incorrect credentials when I try to login.

Thanks

Hello,

– A maximum of 5 concurrent Telnet connections per context, if available, with a maximum of 100 connections divided among all contexts.

– A maximum of 5 concurrent SSH connections per context, if available, with a maximum of 100 connections divided among all contexts.

– A maximum of 5 concurrent ASDM instances per context, if available, with a maximum of 32 ASDM instances among all contexts.

Take a look on this guide:

Each context uses it's own authentication. You not only need to configure the users inside the context, you also have to configure the AAA-rules how you want to authenticate in each context.

These are the regular "aaa authentication ..." rules:
