Configuring Shell Prompts

For TACACS+ ASCII authentication, ACS must return the password prompt to the user. RADIUS identity server supports this functionality by the password prompt option. ACS can use the prompt that you configure in the Shell Prompts page on the ACS web interface. If the prompt is empty, the user receives the default prompt that is configured under TACACS+ global settings.

When establishing a connection with a RADIUS identity server, the initial request packets may not have the password. You must request a password. You can use this page to define the prompt that is used to request the password. To do this:

Step 1 Enter the text for the prompt in the Prompt field.

Step 2 Do one of the following:

Click Submit to configure the prompt for requesting the password.

Click the Directory Attributes tab to define a list of attributes that you want to use in policy rule conditions. See Configuring Directory Attributes, page 8-67for more information.
