Password question...

[mgalla3327]

Hello everyone,

I was hoping someone could lend a helping hand. A question about passwords...

I create a username matt password ****

Then add login local to the vty lines

I can then telnet and use that username but if I add ip http authentication local

I am unable to login via the web.

If I setup the username matt priviledge 15 password ####

I am able to login via the web but when I go to login via telnet I no longer have to put in the enable secret password, it drops me right to enabe mode.

Can I get the best of both worlds?

Login via the web and login via telnet with also having to use the enable secret password?

Thanks for your help,

Matt

HTTP requires level 15 because it calls for many APIs which are running in the background so you need a higher priv.

The only workaround is creating 2 accounts, one for the web with priv 15 and another for CLI with no priv.
