Tacacs authentication login with password input twice

Jun 25, 2008 2 Replies

I'm using tacacs to authenticate and authorize users for shell access to some routers. I have also a radius server to authenticate and authorize another group of users. My problem is when my tacacs users trying to ssh connect to my router, they will need to key in password twice. Why do I need to login with password twice? The only thing i can think of is, the 2nd password prompt is a secret?



I login with user priv 15 to the router, but i can't use priv 15 account.. why?



Please advise. Thanks.


Twice during the authentication process, or once for authentication and once to get into enable mode?

If you are using TACACS+ for login authentication, perhaps you have Cisco ACS as well. There is a setting on ACS which puts the user directly into enable mode at login.
