Configuring TACACS+
To create a default list that is used if no list is specified in the login 
authentication line configuration command, use the default keyword followed 
by the methods you want used in default situations.
The additional methods of authentication are used only if the previous method 
returns an error, not if it fails. To specify that the authentication succeed even if 
all methods return an error, specify none as the final method in the command line.
Specifying TACACS+ Authorization for EXEC Access and 
Network Services
You can use the aaa authorization global configuration command with the 
tacacs+ keyword to set parameters that restrict a user’s network access to Cisco 
IOS privilege mode (EXEC access) and to network services such as Serial Line 
Internet Protocol (SLIP), Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) with Network Control 
Protocols (NCPs), and AppleTalk Remote Access (ARA). 
The aaa authorization exec tacacs+ local command sets the following 
authorization parameters:
• Uses TACACS+ for EXEC access authorization if authentication was done 
using TACACS+.
• Uses the local database if authentication was not done using TACACS+.
Note Authorization is bypassed for authenticated users who login through the CLI 
even if authorization has been configured.
