aaa authentication enable (LOCAL / local)

[cabrera2013]

Which command will configure a Cisco ASA firewall to authenticate users when they enter the enable syntax using the local database with no fallback method? 

What is the difference between upper and lower case 'LOCAL / local?

aaa authentication enable console 'LOCAL'   

aaa authentication enable console 'local'

thank you

Hi,

This command:-

aaa authentication enable console LOCAL

will help to authenticate users as per the LOCAL Database.

You have to use Capital letters for this as that is referencing to the LOCAL DATABASE and is a reserved keyword and has to be all Capital letters.

Thanks and Regards,

Just to add to what Vibor has said. When you use "LOCAL" the local database is used, and it must be all CAPS. When you use "local" the ASA looks for a aaa server group called local, which is not the local database. Only "LOCAL" will reference the local database.
