Can only authenticate with telnet on ASA

[Sean Oskar]

Hello,

On an ASA5520 v7.2 I can only seem to authenticate to the console when using telnet and not ssh. I can connect using both methods, but just have trouble authenticating with ssh. Here are relevent lines related to the issue:

username user1 password ***** encrypted privilege 15
username user2 password ***** encrypted privilege 15

aaa authentication telnet console LOCAL

aaa authentication ssh console LOCAL

telnet <my subnet> 255.255.255.0 Inside

ssh <my subnet> 255.255.255.0 Inside

Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Thank you,

Have you generated the RSA keys needed for SSH?

Authentication is performed not for application (telnet/ssh), but for service (shell). You can restrict access to desired port, but you can't authenticate only selected ports.
