BLADEOS 6.5.2 Application Guide

Accounting

Accounting is the action of recording a user's activities on the device for the purposes of billing and/or security. It follows the authentication and authorization actions. If the authentication and authorization is not performed via TACACS+, there are no TACACS+ accounting messages sent out.

You can use TACACS+ to record and track software login access, configuration changes, and interactive commands.

The G8124 supports the following TACACS+ accounting attributes:

￿protocol (console/Telnet/SSH/HTTP/HTTPS)

￿start_time

￿stop_time

￿elapsed_time

￿disc_cause

Note – When using the Browser-Based Interface, the TACACS+ Accounting Stop records are sent only if the Logout button on the browser is clicked.

Command Authorization and Logging

When TACACS+ Command Authorization is enabled, BLADEOS configuration commands are sent to the TACACS+ server for authorization. Use the following command to enable TACACS+ Command Authorization:

RS G8124(config)# tacacs-server command-authorization

When TACACS+ Command Logging is enabled, BLADEOS configuration commands are logged on the TACACS+ server. Use the following command to enable TACACS+ Command Logging:

RS G8124(config)# tacacs-server command-logging

The following examples illustrate the format of BLADEOS commands sent to the TACACS+ server:

authorization request, cmd=shell, cmd-arg=interface ip accounting request, cmd=shell, cmd-arg=interface ip authorization request, cmd=shell, cmd-arg=enable accounting request, cmd=shell, cmd-arg=enable
