MDS9500 - TACACS

[rm2017]

I am having issues authentication with network-admin privileges via TACACS on the MDS. I defined the custom av attribute in the tacacs settings on acs as follows:

cisco-av-pair=shell:roles="network-admin"

For some reason it doesn't seem like the AV pair is passing to the MDS and I always am given network-operator privileges.

Any ideas on what I could check?

Try this AV Pair instead:

cisco-av-pair*shell:roles="network-admin"

Still no luck. I do see the following entry in the messages:

Trap (DE)Register at /1.1.1.1 failed. Permission denied or feature disabled.

Could that have anything to do with the MDS not accepting the AV pair?

Yes, sounds like you need a little more involvement then this forum offers. So, if you do not have a key between the mds and the tacacs server, go ahead and get a sniffer trace showing a login. Get a debug aaa all at the same time. Depending on who your support is with-->an OSM or Cisco, go ahead and open support case.
