1.4.4.1 Ensure 'aaa command authorization' is configured correctly

Information

Defines the source of authorization for the commands entered by an administrator/user

Rationale:

Requiring authorization for commands enforces separation of duties and provides least privilege access for specific job roles.

Solution

Run the following to determine the remote the TACACS+/RADIUS servers (server_group_name) as source of authorization and the local database (LOCAL) as fallback method if the remote servers are not available.

hostname(config)# aaa authorization command <server-group_name> LOCAL

This implies that locally, each privilege has its sets of commands configured and username associated just in accordance with the privilege and command definition in the remote servers.
