Support TACACS+ accounting 7.0.2

Support TACACS+ accounting 7.0.2

Customers can send system log entries to external TACACS+ accounting servers. Up to three external TACACS+ servers can be configured with different filters for log events. These filters include TACACS+ accounting for login events, configuration change events, and CLI command audits.

In the following example, one remote TACACS+ accounting server is configured and administrators log in to the FortiGate with SSH and HTTPS sessions to modify existing configurations. All events are sent to the TACACS+ accounting server.

To configure remote TACACS+ accounting:
  1. Enable TACACS+ accounting and enter the server access information:
    config log tacacs+accounting setting
        set status enable
        set server "10.1.100.34"
        set server-key ************
    end
  2. Configure the log message filters:
    config log tacacs+accounting filter
        set login-audit enable
        set config-change-audit enable
        set cli-cmd-audit enable
    end
  3. Log in to the FortiGate with SSH and HTTPS sessions, and rename a local user.
  4. Log off from the FortiGate and check the logs on the remote TACACS+ server:

By default, the system event logs sent to the TACACS+ server contain configuration modifications. To include execute, show, get, and diagnose commands in the system event logs, enable cli-audit-log.

To enable the CLI audit log option:
config system global 
    set cli-audit-log enable 
end
