AAA Command Authorization

HI

I am configuring command authorization for our FWSM and switches. I seem to have it working OKish for the FWSM but I think I´m nissing something as far as the Switches go.

I basically have a user in a group which I have configured as follows under "Shell Command Authorization Set":

I have chosen "Per Group Command Authorization" with the "Unmatched Cisco IOS commands" set to deny.

I then have the following command set specified:

Command - SHOW

Arguments -

permit clock

permit route

permit access-list

permit run

On the FWSM these are the only commands that the user can use but on the Switches, all Show commands are available.

I have tried adding the following to the switches:

aaa authorization commands 0 default group Cajastur_ACS local

aaa authorization commands 1 default group Cajastur_ACS local

in addition to the following line which is always configured:

aaa authorization commands 15 default group Cajastur_ACS local

However on the switches I can still run the SHOW command with all arguments.

I must admit that I´m a bit confused too as to what checking or not checking the "Shell (exec)" option under Tacacs+ Settings will do for me. Any explanaition with regards to what this is for would also be appreciated.

The command authorization is working to a degree as I cannot enter config mode on the switches unless I specifically specify it on the ACS server. It´s really the granularity on the SHOW command that I´m after and an understanding of what the "Shell (exec)" option is needed for.

All comments greatly appreciated.

There shouldn't be any issues configuring the same on the FWSM. The commands are the same as on the

6.2 verison of a PIX. Please refer to the below url for the details on the aaa authorization command
