[rancid] Curious Cisco ASA problem

[Ian Murphy]

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the reply. I added the username and password above the "global" password as you suggested and I still get the same result. Autoenable is not applied to that device. One thing I noticed about the difference between the ASA and another device

Here's a snip from a working device:

edge4503a>enable
Password: 
edge4503a#

and from the nonworking device:

kansascityASA5520> enable
Password: ********
Invalid password
Password: ********
Invalid password
Password: ********
Invalid password
Access denied.
kansascityASA5520>

It looks like it's passing the creds differently. Maybe I have the ASA classified wrong in router.db? Is it supposed to be something other than type cisco?

Thanks,

Ian

I gets connected just fine then drops to the unprivileged account. 

I have tried to add a specific username and password for this device like this:

#add user kansascityASA5520* {user}
#add password kansascityASA5520* {password} {password}


-----My reply----
Be sure that the username and password are defined before the "global" username and password.  Also, make sure the passwords are the same.  Is autoenable turned on?  If so, turn it off for that device.  Lastly, what is the * used for in the example above?  I am not sure that is a permissible character in the hostname field.

Chris
