Change the username/password prompt with AAA
TACACS+ protocol introduced with the IOS AAA architecture had great provisions for customizing the whole login process (user-defined banners, prompts ...). Unfortunately, it never really took off and most AAA solutions deployed today rely on RADIUS servers that cannot control the login process itself (the RADIUS server can only check the username/password pair for validity).
To change the login prompts when using RADIUS servers, use the aaa authentication [banner|fail-message|password-prompt|username-prompt] text configuration command. For example, to introduce meaningful prompts when using one-time password solution, you could use something similar to this configuration:
To change the login prompts when using RADIUS servers, use the aaa authentication [banner|fail-message|password-prompt|username-prompt] text configuration command.
