Disable "enable" login with TACACS

Hello,

Switch Model - PowerConnect 6248P

I am trying to login with TACACS.

after entering username and password I was asked to put "ENABLE" password.

how can i disable this request ? and only use username and password (TACACS).

thanks,

IB.

Hi,

Try to change the aaa authentication enable setting, page 193 of the CLI guide. ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_powerconnect/powerconnect-6248_Reference%20Guide_en-us.pdf

This should allow you to set tacacs as the method for elevated privileges instead of having a separate enable password. You may also need to disable the need for an enable password with the command no enable authentication.

aaa authentication enable "NoneEN" enable

is enabling the enable password

Try

no aaa authentication enable "NoneEN"

or

aaa authentication "tacacs" tacacs

Hi Ramesh,

Please try the following and let me know if it works for you.

switch(config)#aaa authentication enable enablelist none

switch(config)#aaa authentication login loginlist tacacs local

The above are the login and enable lists, now please apply them to the line as below

switch(config)#line ssh

switch(config-line)#login authentication loginlist

switch(config-line)#enable authentication enablelist

Authentication methods are now created and applied to the virtual terminal line. Please initiate a separate ssh connection and try login with your tacacs credentials.

NOTE:- Before successful testing, please do not close the existing terminal session. Closing the active session may lead to a complete login lockdown.

Kind regards,

Praga

This is very simple. If you want no password on the enable prompt set it to none.

 

aaa authentication enable default none

 

the above command sets enable authentication to none.

 

So your two commands for tacacs would be..

 


aaa authentication enable default none
aaa authentication login default tacacs+ local
