OK, I am trying to get our cisco switches to authenticate through a tacacs server. When a config aaa new model on the switches and tell it aaa authentication default group tacacs+ it does not accepts the proper username and password. I configured the secure acs with aaa server tacacs and also assigned a user to use tacacs. Could someone help me out. What is the proper way to configure the ACS to work properly with switch.

can you post your configuration for the aaa stuff from the switch that you are trying to authenticate from?

the acs has to be aware of the ip address of the switch as well so that it can send back information to authenticate with. this must be setup in the acs. the router must have the tacacs server host ip set up as well as any key information that you need to provide. both server and router need to have this information. you may also want to try debugging tacacs and logging in twice to see what is happening during authentication.
 
I figurered out how to set it up but i have a little problem. Any of the local cisco secure users can log into the switch. I want to make it so only one user can log into a switch using the cisco secure server. Our current setup is secure users and active directory to authenticate the wireless users. I tried using network access portion of the cisco secure user settings but it didnt work. HELP!

what does you aaa authentication configuration lines look like in your configuration

so you don't want local users to be able to login into the switch. you want only ACS users to login?
 
NO, he wants to make only certain users of the ACS database to be able to login to the devices.
 
I want exactly what buckweet just said. I tried everything i could to try to make it work. Just need a little help.
