Hello,

 

The message body of this post (TACACS issue) doesn't seem to correlate to the subject line (Policy Based Forwarding).

 

Have you opened a support case regarding the TACACS message you posted?

 

Which version of PAN-OS are you running on your firewall?

 

I know there was at least one case where a bug was identified based on how the firewall was sending an invalid message to the TACACS+ server - the resulting behavior was logged the same as you depict in your post. That particular issue was fixed in PAN-OS 8.0.15.

 

Please keep in mind that there will always be cases where further investigation is required in order to obtain the root cause before a final resolution is determined. If you are still experiencing this issue, I would recommend that you open a support case to get assistance with this.

 

Thanks for your post!

Hi,

 

You have successful authentication from TACACS but there is a missing VSA due to which authorization is failing. To resolve this, configure VSA  with string value as Superuser on the TACACS server.
