Nexus Authenticating domain users even if user is not authorized

Angus Bishop

Hi Experts 

I am configuring Nexus  version 7.0(3)  with ISE 2.1 for aaa authentication ( TACACS )

During the configuration am facing a problem that when i try to  login to the nexus  , all the domain users gets authenticated  ( identity store is AD in ISE ) and it comes in the # prompt  in Nexus . ( attached ISE auth configuration ) 

Once after the login is success only the authorised users configured under the authorization rule will have  permission to run the commands , 

Does anyone had came across the similar issue on the Nexus that authentication happens first and then it checks for the authorization .

I am facing the issue only on Nexus , other  devices are working fine 

aaa configuration 

aaa authentication login default group TACACS
aaa authentication login console local
aaa authorization config-commands default group TACACS
aaa authorization commands default group TACACS
aaa accounting default group TACACS
tacacs-server directed-request

thnx

Angus

Unfortunately, this is a known problem with Nexus and ISE Tacacs implementation. This is because ISE decouples Authentication and Authorization with Tacacs. The following post has a workaround to get this to work:
