TACACS+ Accounting

Hi,

 

I've configured Fortigate (FortiOS 5.6.2) with TACACS+ Authentication and it works fine. However I'm not receiving TACACS accounting messages to TACACS server. Is there a specific option to enable tacacs accounting or how this should be done in FortiOS?

 

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

there is no accounting implemented for TACACS+ in FortiOS. Just authentication and basic authorization.

If you would need some accounting being sent upon successful authentication, then as closest protocol to TACACS+ I'd suggest to use RADIUS. Where you can set accounting subsection in RADIUS server definition on FortiOS.

Best regards,

Tomas

I'm even skeptical that  RADIUS  supports accounting on FortiOS. What we end up doing was using the global  audit tracking  in FortiOS 5.4.x or higher

 

 

e.g

 

config sys  global

 set cli-audit-log enable

end

 

 

NOTE; various execute and diag cmds will not  generate   audit-log

I'm not skeptical .. I use that:
