Authentication
ACS supports a number of authentication methods that can help the
administrator with the user management. Authentication can be performed
locally or with a remote server, such as RADIUS, TACACS+, LDAP, or
Kerberos. An authentication security fallback mechanism is also employed,
should the negotiation process with the authentication server fails. In such
situations, the ACS follows an alternate defined rule when authentication
server is down or does not authenticate the user.
The following table lists the supported authentication methods.
