ACSE - Logging into Privileged Mode

[hitsontd1]

I have configured one client, remote agent and the ACSE. I am able to authenticate into the network device via AD. It prompts me for credentials then I am in user mode. I then issue the enable command to enter privileged mode. It then prompts me to authenticate again. My question is how do I configure ACS to enter me directly into privileged mode once I have successfully authenticated? I do not want to first be in user mode then have to authenticate again to enter privileged mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Bring users/groups in at level 15

1. Go to user or group setup in ACS

2. Drop down to "TACACS+ Settings"

3. Place a check in "Shell (Exec)"

4. Place a check in "Privilege level" and enter "15" in the adjacent field

Also make sure we have exec authorization enabled.

aaa authorization exec default group tacacs+ if-authenticated
