[rancid] Curious Cisco ASA problem

[Ian Murphy]

I'm running into some interesting behavior regarding my Cisco ASA 5520. The device is talking to my TACACS server for authentication just fine. Clogin doesn't want to finish all the way though. It's hanging at the enable prompt where all my other devices do not. Here's the output from the clogin:

***@kc-tacacs:~$ clogin kansascityASA5520
kansascityasa5520
spawn telnet kansascityasa5520
Trying 10.103.9.250...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l rancid kansascityasa5520
***@kansascityasa5520's password:
You are connected to: kansascityASA5520.pop.local

Type help or '?' for a list of available commands.
kansascityASA5520> enable
Password: ********
Invalid password
Password: ********
Invalid password
Password: ********
Invalid password
Access denied.
kansascityASA5520>
Error: Check your Enable passwd

kansascityASA5520>


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}

But, that didn't work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

thanks
Ian Murphy

-----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.

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

Ian,
Does your ASA have TACACS turned on for enable access as well as telnet/SSH? All of my ASA's are in RANCID as type 'cisco', I think you just have some sort of password mismatch. Can you log in manually using the credentials you have specificed in your cloginrc?

Eric makes a good point. If you are not using aaa for authentication AND authorization then you do run a risk of having mismatched password and it gets pretty cranky about it. It might look like this (with a successful login):

Username: jdoe
Password: abc123

edge4503a>enable
Password: abc123
edge4503a#

Note the same password is used for both login and enable. That could be part of the problem.

I'm only using TACACS for authentication and accounting.. . no authorization. The rancid user logon and enable passwords are the same in tac_plus.conf. the ASA has an enable secret that is different, call it enableSECRET. So the last email I sent needs a little more explanation. Here it is:

clogin -u rancid -p loginPW -e enableSECRET -c "sh ver" kansascityASA5520

and got the expected results. The device returned the version info.

Here's my .cloginrc file:

#custom user name and password for KC ASA
add user kansascityASA5520 {rancid}
add password kansascityASA5520 { loginPW } { enableSECRET }
add user * {rancid}
add password * { loginPW } { enablePW}

and clogin kansascityASA5520 fail to get enabled, but this works on every other device.

Ryan, thanks for the reply. I tried removing whitespace from between the curly braces and it failed to execute the script at all.

Ian,

I meant here -> { loginPW }, unless you're using a special character that would cause the .cloginrc to fail, you can remove the brackets and use a tab between the passwords.

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.

Ian,
I meant here -> { loginPW }, unless you're using a special character that would cause the .cloginrc to fail, you can remove the brackets and use a tab between the passwords.

please don't tell folks to remove the braces. please stay in the habit
of using them - be consistent and avoid the typical problems.

if you have special characters in your pwds, you must escape them. see
cloginrc(5).

if you still have a problem, use the login script's -d option to see what
it's sending.

[Ian Murphy]

Eric, thanks for the reply.

when I manually log in as rancid I can only gain enable by using the local enable secret

Ian,
Does your ASA have TACACS turned on for enable access as well as telnet/SSH? All of my ASA's are in RANCID as type 'cisco', I think you just have some sort of password mismatch. Can you log in manually using the credentials you have specificed in your cloginrc?

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

Ok I tried this:

clogin -u rancid -p loginPW -e enablePW -c "sh ver" kansascityASA5520

and got the expected results. The device returned the version info.

Here's my .cloginrc file:

#custom user name and password for KC ASA
add user kansascityASA5520 {rancid}
add password kansascityASA5520 { loginPW } { enablePW }
add user * {rancid}
add password * { loginPW } { enablePW }

and clogin kansascityASA5520 fail to get eabled.
