Applying Method Lists for Applications
After you configure method lists for authorization and accounting services, you can apply those method
lists for applications that use those services (console, vty, auxiliary, and so on). Applying method lists
is accomplished by enabling AAA authorization and accounting.
This section contains the following procedures:
• Enabling AAA Authorization, page SC-51 (required)
• Enabling Accounting Services, page SC-53 (required)
Enabling AAA Authorization
This task enables AAA authorization for a specific line or group of lines.
Method List Application
After you use the aaa authorization command to define a named authorization method list (or use the
default method list) for a particular type of authorization, you must apply the defined lists to the
appropriate lines in order for authorization to take place. Use the authorization command to apply the
specified method lists (or, if none is specified, the default method list) to the selected line or group
of
lines.
