Symptoms

Authentication methods such as TACACS show up as "Internal password" in audit logs.

Cause

This is a cosmetic issue as the Authentication for TACACS is being done on the MDS level.

For example :
If we log into the MDS via API mgmt_cli audit log will say TACACS authentication

If we log into API mgmt_cli to a specific Domain, audit log will say this was authenticated by Internal password even though it is configured to authenticate via TACACS.
