Create an Admin Account for ASA 5510

[Matthew Martin]

Hello All,

I've been looking all over the place to try and find if it's possible to create more then one admin account on a Cisco ASA 5510. I search google but couldn't find anything. I looked through the CLI using telnet and also on the "Cisco ASDM 7.1 for ASA" application window and still can't find a way, or if its even possible.

I was hoping to abe able to create a secondary admin account, is this possible?

Thanks,

Matt

Hi,

What is your "aaa" configuration?

The output of the following command should tell this

show run aaa

I am just wondering if you are using the configuration

aaa authentication enable console LOCAL

If you are using the "aaa" configurations only for the "http" , "telnet" and "ssh" and not "enable" then I guess no matter what ever "username" configuration you log in with then using the enable password will grant you full rights with regards to configurations.

If you had "aaa authentication enable console LOCAL" then I think the "privilege" set in the "username" configuration for the account sets the amount of commands you can use.
