Authorization

Contents

This scenario shows how to set up per-command authorization.

Tacacs Method Privileged User

Description

A TACACS+ server configured to deny the show date command and allow everything else is added to a TACACS+ group, which is added to an AAA list. This list is assigned to CLI’s command authorization. Whenever a user attempts to run a command, this is sent to the server and is only executed when authorized to do so.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.215.168.64/24
set system aaa group tacacs tacgroup1 server serv1
set system aaa list list1 method 1 group tacacs tacgroup1
set system aaa server tacacs serv1 address 10.215.168.1
set system aaa server tacacs serv1 encrypted-key U2FsdGVkX1+1mAKY3PsL300HbDhvPxLG6nJJnNfezCo=
set system cli aaa authorization list1
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'
set system login user testadmin authentication encrypted-password '$6$bmgRWpaJEP2pxACd$mIghHW0w.ozDpWdcbDdDYMEzgnvNXdaBDY4uE6Wnd/0I/NE.1bjqzWNuCi0oEMVEOvUInTsiivih73f2LhND5/'
set system login user testadmin role admin

Step 2: Ping IP address 10.215.168.1 from DUT0:

admin@DUT0$ ping 10.215.168.1 count 1 size 56 timeout 1

Show output

PING 10.215.168.1 (10.215.168.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.215.168.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.127 ms

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.127/0.127/0.127/0.000 ms

Step 3: Run command show version at DUT0 and expect this output:
