Issue:
Cisco firewalls require only one level of password i.e. the domain username and password are used for both logging in as well as reaching global configuration mode.
Background:
We have multiple Cisco network devices set up which authenticate to our Windows domain controller using NPS (Windows 2008 R2). The switches we have set up all function exactly as we would hope as they require your domain username and password to login to the device. They then require a separate password when you use the enable command, this is stored in Active Directory:
Switches:
Username:domain-username
Password:domain-password
SWITCH>enable
Password:enable-password-in-Active-Directory
SWITCH#
Firewalls (as they currently are):
Username:domain-username
Password:domain-password
FIREWALL>enable
Password:domain-password
FIREWALL #
With the firewalls however, they require your domain username and password first, and then your domain password again when using the enable command. I want the firewalls to use the enable level password that the switches currently use instead of the domain password again. The current configuration look like the following:
Current switch configuration:
aaa new-model
aaa authentication login default group radius local
aaa authentication enable default group radius enable
aaa authorization exec default group radius local
aaa session-id common
radius-server host 192.168.0.1 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
radius-server source-ports 1645-1646
radius-server key 7 1234abcd
Current firewall configuration:
aaa-server DC01 protocol radius
aaa-server DC01 (outside) host 192.168.0.1
aaa authentication ssh console DC01 LOCAL
aaa authentication enable console DC01 LOCAL
key 1234abcd
Any help would be great, thanks!

Hi.
Unfortunately the aaa subsystems on the routers/switches is different from the ones on the ASA/FWSM/PIX.
so there is no way to change the behaviour of the firewalls to match that of your switches.
