John,

I think you can tackle this issue in the following way. Configure
another AAA string with let us say "authorization group ACS tacacs local
" just like the way you do for Authentication (authentication group ACS
tacacs local). That way "local authorization " along with local
authentication will kick in only when "tacacs is not available. Along
with this you can map relevant "privilege levels" to the local user
database.

I am not sure on any other way to do this.

Devi.

Subject: PIX & ACS - AAA Authorization

All,

    I have several PIX 525 in different locations. I have setup an ACS
Server. If the ACS server is up, all is fine with authentication and
authorization. If the ACS server goes down, I can authenticate with the
built in pix account. Only problem is authorization. Once I authenticate

with the pix account, I am unable to execute any commands. My question,
is
there any other way besides leaving the authorization to LOCAL and
moving
some privileges to a lower level (for other users), to have the PIX
default
to authorize locally only if the tacacs is not available.

Thanks In Advance,
