Unencrypted password sent to TACACS server #128

I am trying to configure Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS to "talk" to Cisco ISE. I followed the instructions from https://github.com/jeroennijhof/pam_tacplus and was able to successfully compile and install the files. tacc works fine: 

root@ubuntu:~# tacc -s 10.xx.xx.xx -u testuser -ptest_password -TRA -r 192.168.1.10 -k secret -S ppp -P ip -L pap 
Authentication OK
Authorization OK: (Service granted)
Accounting: START OK
Accounting: STOP OK

However, all my attempts to SSH to Ubuntu server fail. After looking into the traces I can see that during login Ubuntu does not encrypt user credentials and sends them to ISE as an open text. ISE server does not expects that and returns "possibly mismatched Shared Secrets" error.

Unfortunately installation instruction does not specify which file should contain Example configuration. I added it to /etc/pam.d/tacacs, but what about /etc/pam.d/login ? Should I update this file as well?

Thanks

I assume that the configuration in your lib pam is not correct. Please make sure that it contains both "server" and "secret" entry: i.e: auth requisite /usr/lib/security/pam_tacplus.so server=... secret=...
