I have TACACS integrated with ISE. I am able to login and commands run are logged in ISE as well as user authentications.
The issue I am seeing is that I have the VTY lines set to exec-timeout 10 and that works when the curser is at the input prompt, but if I run a command such as show run and and leave it in the "more" state i.e. need to use space bar to show the additional lines of the show command, the TACACS session will stay open indefinitely. Why is that? I have seen this on NXOS and IOS-XE.

Very good question and I guess it behaves the same even when you login into the switch with a local admin account right? I think this is just the way how the code works and I guess when you are on the "more" screen the timeout timer is not triggered. I would think about it in the same way as when you run Media player on Windows that will prevent the screensaver timer from being triggered, kinda disabling that timer as long as the media file is running.

that why we need to specify two timeout
exec-timeout
and
session or idle timeout
if for any reason the use is not correct disconnect the Device will kill the line after specific time.
