aaa tacacs+ backup line

ozlemduran · ‎02-16-2004

hi,

I am using aaa for tacacs+ authentication on my routers but my tacacs+ server is taking usernames from LDAP. If LDAP goes down my authentication is failing. So I need a backup configuration for line vty 4 like

"aaa authentication login test line"

"login authentication test"

But line searching "enable" password from tacacs server...

I want that "line must use local enable password"

Hello Ozlem,

If the LDAP server fails then router will not fall back to local database unlike if ACS fails. The reason is that information is not propogated to the router. You can have backup LDAP server defined on the ACS though for fall back on ACS side.

Thanks,

but I cant do that bacause LDAP server admins dont want that :) and there is an interesting thing, my friends have used that commands at old IOS versions, I think it was a bug???
