Chapter 9 Accessing and Monitoring PIX Firewall
Command Authorization and LOCAL User Authentication
For example, the following command assigns a privilege level of 15 to the user account admin.
username admin password passw0rd privilege 15
If no privilege level is specified, the user account is created with a privilege level of 2. You can define
as many user accounts as you need.
Use the following command to create a user account with no password:
username username nopassword
Replace username with the user account that you want to create without a password.
To delete an existing user account, enter the following command:
no username username
Replace username with the user account that you want to delete. For example, the following command
deletes the user account admin.
no username admin
To remove all the entries from the user database, enter the following command:
clear username
User Authentication Using the LOCAL Database
User authentication can be completed using the LOCAL database after user accounts are created in this
database.
To enable authentication using the LOCAL database, enter the following command:
pix(config)# aaa authentication serial|telnet|ssh|http|enable console LOCAL
After entering this command, the LOCAL user accounts are used for authentication.
You can also use the login command, as follows, to access the PIX Firewall with a particular username
and password:
pix> login
The login command only checks the local database while authenticating a user and does not check any
authentication or authorization (AAA) server.
When you enter the login command, the system prompts for a username and password as follows:
Username:admin
Password:********
Note Users with a privilege level greater than or equal to 2 have access to the enable and configuration modes
and the PIX Firewall prompt changes to #. Users with the privilege level 0 or 1 see the prompt >.
Use the following command to log out from the currently logged in user account:
logout
