RE: [FW1] authenticate topology requests failing



Michael,

I configured my firewall in a similar fashion. I also wanted authenticated
downloads and my users to use TACACS+ for authentication.

My solution was to configure the users for TACACS+ under the user account
authentication tab. 

I then created a special user that existed only for the purpose of topo
downloads. When users contact the site they use this special username and
password for downloads. This special user has no other privileges.

The SecuRemote clients use their normal account from that point forward.
This special account is only used during the initial topology download. 

The topo download account password is configured under the user account
encryption tab during creation. Do not use the authentication tab setting.

It appears that topo downloads use the password set under the user account
encryption tab and not TACACS+. You could just set the password under every
user account but that is very inefficient.

Subject: [FW1] authenticate topology requests failing



Hi,

I am trying to only allow authenticated requestes for the securemote
clients. When 'respond to unauthenticated requests' is turned on, all works
fine. However, when the option is unchecked, rsecuremote prompts for a
username/password and then proceeds to tell me 'Error: Authentication
failed'. The fw1 logs say 'reason Refused Topology Request. User not defined
properly'.

Can you explain how to overcome this. I have tried with users using fw1
passwords and tacacs+.

I am using fw1sp2 and securemote 4.1sp2 DES build 4165.

Many thanks in advance.
