No username/password prompt from tac_plus

[rp123]

Hi,

 

I have tac_plus setup now, thanks for your previous help.

 

I now have an issue where I cannot get a prompt from tacacs+ to enter a username or password.

 

using the netstat command I can see that tacacs is running and is listening to port 49 however, when I try to connect to it through telnet I get no reponse. Not an error so it appears the connection has been made but there is no prompt from tac_plus.

 

Any reason this may be happening?

 

Thanks for you help.

Do you have the address you are coming from allowed ?

host = myworld {

        welcome banner = " Welcome"

      key = xxxxxxxxxxx

        address = 192.168.1.0/24

                   }

you're opening a telnet connection to port 49 on your TACACS+ server?
That will confirm, that the service is up, but nothing more. TACACS+ is
not a simple text text based protocol. A prompt, if any, will be shown
on your router.

For troubleshooting, I'd suggest to enable AAA debugging on the router
and, if that doesn't clear things up, packet level debugging on the
TACACS+ server.

Cheers,
