Procedure

Complete these steps to make your prompts recognizable:

1. Open the $PX_DATADIR/objects/cmf/data/TacacsPrompts.ini file. $PX_DATADIR is the folder where you installed CiscoWorks.

   OS	Default installation folder
   Unix	/opt/CSCOpx
   Windows	c:\programfiles\CSCOpx

2. The file displays all default TACACS prompts that RME recognizes:

   [TELNET]
   USERNAME_PROMPT=Username:,username:,login:
   PASSWORD_PROMPT=Password:,password:,passwd:
   

3. Add your custom prompts to the file, separated by commas. This example shows adding "TACACS User Name:" and "TACACS Password:" prompts respectively:

   [TELNET]
   USERNAME_PROMPT=Username:,username:,login:,TACACS User Name:
   PASSWORD_PROMPT=Password:,password:,passwd:,TACACS Password:
   

4. Save the file.

5. Restart CiscoWorks.
