Change Password via telnet session

[lejack99]

Hi,

I would like to know how to change the tacacs enable password via telnet session.

When a new user login the first time via telnet, tacacs prompts the user with changing login password. However, it never prompts to change the enable password. Please advice.

I am not clear what your problem is. TACACS uses a single password for a user and does not distinguish an enable password which is different from the login password. TACACS will grant access to enable based on what is set up in the user profile (or group profile) not on having a separate password. The difference between a login password and the enable password is used by the router locally when the router is not able to communicate with the TACACS server.

So when TACACS prompts a new user to change the initial setup password, that is all that TACACS needs to do.

You can set up to have a different password for enable on ACS3.3.
