username problem in cisco 7200 router

bozsikjanos
Level 1
Level 1

I copied (with scp) the startup-config about my router and I modified it. I deleted old username line and i added a new. Then I send to the new startup-config to router with scp and I reloaded it. But I still login with old username.

I checked running-config and startup-config and old username line does not figure in these files. I switch off/on power, but it did not use.

Can somebody help me?

Where stores the username in Cisco filesystem? How can i view and fix it?

Some datasheed: Cisco Router 7200; Cisco IOS version 12.2(31)SB11

Thank you for the help to everybody.

I am glad that you understand it now and that my explanation was helpful. Understanding how authentication works, especially with backup methods, can be a bit tricky but is an important thing to understand.

Check, you might be using a radius server.

I don't use radius server. I use local username database.

Then there is no logical explanation to your problem.

Janos

I agree with Paolo that this is very strange. Perhaps if you post the config of the router we might figure out what is causing this behavior.

OK, I post the config of router. I cut the private datas (as ACL lists, etc..).

I think that, Somehow the IOS saved the local userdatabase to NVRAM or Flash disk. Do you say anything that I can check it? Maybe I should try erase NVRAM.

How can I list local userdatabase on router, if it is possible?

Janos

The config that you posted was helpful and I believe that I understand what is happening. The config includes this line:

aaa authentication login default local enable

and the effect is that when you login the router will prompt you for name and password. It will check to see if the user name you entered is in the local user database and if it is not in the local database the router will authenticate you if you used the enable password.

So my guess is that you are logging in with some other user ID and with the enable password. Is that the case?

Hy,Rick

Yes, this is my problem.

I can login whit old user name and enable password nevertheless that I deleted it one week ago. And I don't understand it.

Can you help me? How I can delete it full?

Thank you

Janos

I attempted to explain it, but apparently you did not understand my explanation. The way that you have configured it, the router will allow login with any user name as long as you use the enable password. If you do not like that then you need to change the configuration. If you change this:

aaa authentication login default local enable

to this:

aaa authentication login default local

then it will allow login only using the configured user name.

The router is doing exactly what the config tells it to do (and allows login using any user name if they use the enable password). If you do not like that behavior then change the config.

I understand it by now.

I will fix it in the config of router next week.

Thank you very much for your help.
