About Validating a TACACS+ Server
As of Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.0(1), you can periodically validate a TACACS+ server. The switch sends
a test authentication to the server using the test username and test password that you configure. If the
server does not respond to the test authentication, then the server is considered nonresponding.
Note We recommend that you do not configure the test user on your TACACS+ server for security reasons.
