If I am not mistaken I tried it out today on a Ipexpert rack.

I tried to put a method list on the HTTP server and it didnt work, only with 
local user, when I enabled the loging default tacacs, it authenticated againts 
AAA, so by that test/error scenario, I would say it overrides it.

I was a bit scare that this was very quiet during the weekend, I thought 
everyone just gave up ;)

Subject: [OSL | CCIE_Security] HTTP authentication with auth-proxy


I have an interesting observation while testing auth-proxy on a router.

The authenticating router has HTTP server enabled but there’s nothing set for 
authentication yet.



I see that the HTTP server default authentication method is set to “enable”:



R4#sh ip http server all

HTTP server status: Enabled

HTTP server port: 80

HTTP server authentication method: enable



When I initiate HTTP session to the host behind the router R4 I’m challenged 
with the authentication window, login as “httpuser” that is stored in TACACS 
and it is successful.



R4#sh ip auth-proxy cache

Authentication Proxy Cache

Client Name httpuser, Client IP 200.13.24.200, Port 1456, timeout 60, Time 
Remaining 54, state ESTAB



Doing HTTP debugs on the router show me that the router chooses aaa as 
auth-type.



*Jul 29 19:55:47.613: uname httpuser

*Jul 29 19:55:47.613: timetag 91998348

*Jul 29 19:55:47.613: HTTP: Authentication proxy_username = 'httpuser' 
priv-level = 0 auth-type = aaa



The question is if we set “aaa authentication login default group tacacs” and 
“aaa authorization auth-proxy default group tacacs” it overrides the local http 
authentication method?
