Configuring TACACS on a Nexus 1000v

[ten]

What is my Tacacs/aaa configuration missing?

It never tries to authenticate to the server

I am running nexus-1000v-mz.4.0.4.SV1.3b.bin

aaa group server tacacs+ TacServer
    use-vrf management
aaa authentication login default group TacServer
aaa authentication login console group TacServer

feature tacacs+
tacacs-server key 7 xxxxxx
tacacs-server host x.x.x.x

tacacs-server directed-request

Hi Thom,

Based on your configuration output, looks like you have forgotten to add the TACACS server as part of your particular "TacServer" aaa group

aaa group server tacacs+ TacServer
    server x.x.x.x <-------- this needs to be added
    use-vrf management

You can then verify that your group is correctly configured using this command: show tacacs-server groups

Further information for configuring TACACS on Nexus 1000v is available in the following document:

Cisco Nexus 1000V Security Configuration Guide, Release 4.0(4)SV1(3)

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

Michael
