acs 4.2 :- router# test aaa group tacacs+ uid pwd .... works but not when authenticating

I have setup ACS 4.2 and when I run

router# test aaa group tacacs+ myuser mypasswd [ legacy | new-code]

               Both options work fine

But when I try and login, over telnet, the request reaches the aaa server, but returns fail !

My commands are :-

tacacs-server host xx.xx.xx.xx single-connection port 49
tacacs-server key xxxxxxxxxxx

aaa authentication banner ^CUnauthorized access forbidden^C
aaa authentication username-prompt "Enter Username: "

aaa authentication login default group tacacs+ local

aaa authorization exec default group tacacs+ local

I dont see the banner NOR the "Enter Username:" prompt.

Also a debug aaa authentication and debug aaa subsys show that the request reaches AAA, but it simply returns fail

I had the same issue in 5.1, but that was due to the tacacs+ single-connection not being set or something similar, and the error

there was "shared secret does not match", on the AAA server logs

I am still new to 4.2, so am still trying to determine where the log files are etc, but since it works with the test command, I cant

seem to understand why it fails with telnet

Any idea why this may be happning ?

Thanks

Hi,

On Layer 3 device we should have tacacs source  interface defined since there are more then one interface. To use the IP  address of a specified interface for all outgoing TACACS+  packets, use  the ip tacacs source-interface command in global configuration or server-group configuration mode.


The following  example makes TACACS+ use the IP address of subinterface  "s2" for all  outgoing TACACS+ packets:

#

ip tacacs source-interface s2

Usage Guidelines
#

Use this command to set the IP  address of a subinterface for all  outgoing TACACS+ packets. This  address is used as long as the interface  is in the up state. In this way, the TACACS+  server can use one  IP address entry associated with the network access  client instead of  maintaining a list of all IP addresses.


#

This command is especially useful  in cases where the router has many  interfaces and you want to ensure  that all TACACS+ packets from a  particular router have the same IP  address.The specified interface must have an IP address associated with  it. If  the specified subinterface does not have an IP address or is in a  down state, TACACS+ reverts to the default.  To  avoid this situation, add an IP address to the subinterface or bring  the  interface to the up state.


If there is still any issue please share the debugs.



Regards,

~JG

Replace this command


tacacs-server host xx.xx.xx.xx single-connection port 49


with


tacacs-server host x.x.x.x


Also, let me know what error message are you getting in failed attempts? do attach the debugs.

I had a setting in the ACS Group for the user

The setting was

Per Group Defined Network Access Restrictions
with a checkbox for define ip based access restrictions.

Nothing else was set... no aaa clients were selected.

I dont know what this does, or why I had set it up... Removing it solved my issue.

THANKS
