How to setup a username to logon to ASA

[Simon.peters1]

Hello all,

This is something really simple but I can't see what to add.

I want to add a username when connecting via putty or the ASDM but at the moment all i get prompted for is the enable password.

Can anyone share with me what I need to add to be prompted for the a username.

Thanks!

Hello,

You can create a local user with the command:

username cisco password cisco123 privilege 15

Then to assign local authentication to ASDM and SSH you enter the command in case sensitive:

aaa authentication http console LOCAL

aaa authentication ssh console LOCAL
