Chapter 20 Cisco BAC Support Tools and Advanced Concepts
Using the resetAdminPassword.sh Tool
Using the resetAdminPassword.sh Tool
Cisco BAC supports both local authentication and TACACS+ authentication and you can use the
resetAdminPassword.sh tool to reset the password for both local and TACACS+ authentication.
Run the resetAdminPassword.sh tool from the BPR_HOME/rdu/internal/db/bin directory.
When the authentication is local if you use the resetAdminPassword.sh tool, it allows you to login with
the default password changeme. After logging in, it will prompt you to change the password and you
can change the password as you want.
When TACACS+ authentication is enabled, you can use the resetAdminPassword.sh tool to
temporarily reset bacadmin authentication to local RDU. This tool allows you to login once with the
password changeme to the RDU using the local reset admin password. After logging in, it will prompt
you to change the password where you have to use the changeme password again. Then in the TACACS+
Defaults page you can change the password, as you want.
To enable local authentication, you have to manually change the authentication mode setting, after you
login to the RDU. Otherwise, it will automatically fall back to TACACS+ authentication mode from next
login.
To enable local authentication:
Step 1 Choose Configuration on either the Primary Navigation bar or Main Menu page.
Step 2 Choose Defaults from the Secondary Navigation bar.
The Configure Defaults page appears.
Step 3 Click TACACS+ Defaults link on the left pane.
The TACACS+ Defaults page appears
Step 4 Check the TACACS+ Authentication Disabled check box.
Step 5 Click Submit.
Note The authentication setting for other Cisco BAC users will not be affected by this tool. You must use the
TACACS+ server administrative procedure to change the passwords.
Using the runEventMonitor.sh Tool
You can run the runEventMonitor.sh tool to view the events that are being fired in Cisco BAC. You can
run this tool from the BPR_HOME/rdu/internal/bin directory.
