I need to pose a question:

I understand that the authentication process is managed in the admin context...I presently have module setup to authenticate with a local account.  However, I'd like to configure the telnet session from the switch to the FWSM using AAA.

I have a configuration on the specific contexts that allow me to SSH into the contexts, using AAA authentication, as follows:

aaa-server <group> protocol tacacs+

aaa-server <group> (outside interface) host <ip>

aaa-server <group> (outside interface) host <ip>

aaa auth en con <group> LOCAL

aaa auth ssh con <group> LOCAL

I'm a little leary about modifying the admin context for the type of auth (dont want to lock myself out)...

So, my question is, as long as i can communicate with the TACACS appliance(s) from the admin context, should the config that I'm using work for my telnet session from the switch to the FWSM?.

thanks.
