[tac_plus] Cisco Nexus Authorization problem

Kevin,

I just tested this and it works for me. User can run show commands, but not enter conf t mode.

Arista DCS-7050S-52-R running code 4.8.3. In production we run do_auth. It comes bundled with the latest version of tac_plus and makes tweaking authorization a lot easier. It’s more scalable, syntax is cleaner, and it has its own authorization logs which are easier to read.

# tac_plus.conf

group = tier1 {
    default service = permit
    login = PAM
    pap = PAM
                default command = deny
                cmd = show {permit .*}
    service = exec {
        priv-lvl = 15
    }
    service = raccess {
        priv-lvl = 0
    }
}

user = first.last {
    member = tier1
}

# switch AAA commands
aaa group server tacacs+ TacGroup
aaa authentication login default group TacGroup local
aaa authorization exec default group TacGroup none
aaa authorization commands 15 default group TacGroup none
aaa accounting exec default start-stop group TacGroup
aaa accounting commands 15 default start-stop group TacGroup
no aaa root

Do you have experience with Arista? It seems I am having similar problem with this device. Authentication works fine, but once i login and send enable password I can run any command i'd like. It's not restricting access to my preconfigured commands:


Arista1#sh run | i aaa
aaa group server tacacs+ CiscoACS
aaa authentication login default group CiscoACS local
aaa authorization exec default group CiscoACS local
aaa authorization commands all default group CiscoACS local
aaa accounting exec default start-stop group CiscoACS
aaa accounting commands all default start-stop group CiscoACS
no aaa root

                pap = clear "test123"
                member = snm
        }


        group = snm {
                default service = deny
                service = shell {
                set shell:roles="\"network-admin\""
                default command = deny
                default attribute = deny
                set priv-lvl = 15
                cmd = configure {deny .*}
                cmd = clear {
                permit "counters"
                permit "qos stat"
                permit "mls qos int"

                }
                cmd = write {

Try changing "service = shell" to "service = exec" and see if that works. I have NX-OS working fine using that. Also, I have never seen the shell service used in real-world examples for network devices. But reading the manpage it appears it should work to prevent them from entering configuration mode, as long as your AAA commands are set right.

service=shell
for   exec   startup,   and   also   for    command authorizations.  Requires: aaa authorization exec tacacs+

Whether authorization happens, and at which prompt level, depends on the aaa authorization settings. It's possible to only restrict exec level commands, and prevent them from entering the 'conf t' command. But if you want them in conf t mode but restrict their commands at that level, you need to enable something like this:

aaa authorization config-commands default group myTacacsGroup local

If changing the service doesn't work, include the AAA commands on your NX-OS switches.

Hello

I have configured TACPLUS to work with cisco nexus device. I am able to successfully  authenticate, however, I am able to run all commands on router. It seems the router is not restricted to the commands specified in my group config. Has anyone gotten Cisco nexus to work properly with tacplus? I need to limit certain users and cannot get this working properly. Any help is greatly appreciated!!! Thanks.

Group Config:

       group = snm {
               default service = deny
               service = shell {
               set shell:roles="\"network-admin\""
               default command = deny
               default attribute = deny
               set priv-lvl = 15
               cmd = configure {deny .*}
               cmd = clear {
               permit "counters"
               permit "qos stat"
               permit "mls qos int"
               }
               cmd = disable {permit .*}
               cmd = enable {permit .*}
               cmd = end {permit .*}
               cmd = exit {permit .*}
               cmd = logout {permit .*}
               cmd = ping {permit .*}
               cmd = set {
               permit "length 0"
               }
               cmd = show {
               deny "controllers vip"
               permit .*
               }
               cmd = skip-page-display {permit .*}
               cmd = terminal {
               permit "length 0"
               }
               cmd = write {
               permit "network"
               permit "terminal"
               permit "memory"
               }
               }
       }


       user = testuser {

               member = snm
       }
