I recently compiled version F4.0.4.27a<br>under debian 7.6 to implement PAM functionality. Everything is working good so far, but I took a very close<br>look into my /var/log/tacacs/tacacs file after my colleague informed me about him being able to read his<br>password in cleartext in the logging file. I did further troubleshooting on various switch models like<br>HP procurves, Brocade icx, fcx and mlx switches and even stoneold Enterasys N Series dinosaur switches<br>with aaa accounting settings, encryption settings etc. turned off and on. I started the tac_plus daemon with<br>several debugging levels and no debugging at all and can’t get rid of the password being shown in the logs. <br>Even the secret is show in cleartext. I posted a failed authentication part of the logfile on pastebin.<br><a href="http://pastebin.com/sffJkFJc">http://pastebin.com/sffJkFJc</a> just search for the term “bein” that’s the part I am talking about.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Best regards<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:DE'>Michael Josten</span><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:DE'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:DE'>Mitarbeiter IT-Betrieb<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:DE'>Hochschule Niederrhein<br></span></b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:DE'>KIS – Kommunikations und Informationssys</span><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:DE'>teme Service<br>Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences<br>Communication and Informationsystems Service<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:DE'>Reinarzstr. 49<br>D – 47805 Krefeld<br>Telefon: +49 2151 822 3129<br>Fax: +49 2151 822 853123<br>Email: <a href="mailto:michael.josten@hs-niederrhein.de" title="mailto:emilio.pacheco@hs-niederrhein.de"><span style='color:#0563C1'>michael.josten@hs-niederrhein.de</span></a><br><a href="http://www.hs-niederrhein.de/" title="http://www.hs-niederrhein.de/"><span style='color:#0563C1'>www.hs-niederrhein.de</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
