Command Authorization Sets Description
Command authorization sets provide a central mechanism to control the
authorization of each command issued on any given network device. This greatly
enhances the scalability and manageability of setting authorization restrictions. In
Cisco Secure ACS, the default command authorization sets include Shell
Command Authorization Sets and PIX Command Authorization Sets. Cisco
device-management applications, such as Management Center for Firewalls, can
instruct Cisco Secure ACS to support additional command authorization set
types.
Note PIX Command Authorization Sets require that the TACACS+ command
authorization request identify the service as “pixshell”. Verify that this service has
been implemented in the version of PIX OS your firewalls use; if not, use Shell
Command Authorization Sets to perform command authorization for PIXes.
Tip As of PIX OS version 6.3, the pixshell service has not been implemented.
