2. Enter the following:
Enable TACACS+ Displays selected if you enabled this method on the User Authentication page. If
you want to set up this authentication method but not enable it immediately, clear
the checkbox.
You can enable TACACS+ here or on the first User Authentication page. If you
enable TACACS+ here, it automatically displays at the end of the order of
precedence on the User Authentication page.
TACACS+ Servers 1-3 IPv4 or IPv6 address or host name of up to three TACACS+ servers.
Secret Shared secret for message encryption between the SLC 8000 advanced console
manager and the TACACS+ server. Enter an alphanumeric secret of up to 127
characters.
Encrypt Messages Select the checkbox to encrypt messages between the SLC unit and the
TACACS+ server. Selected by default.
Authentication
Service
The type of service used to pass the authentication tokens (e.g., login and
password) between the SLC and the TACACS+ server. Options are: ASCII Login
(login and password are transmitted in clear, unencrypted text), PPP/PAP (login
and password are transmitted in clear, unencrypted text via a PAP protocol
packet), and PPP/CHAP (the TACACS+ server sends a challenge that consists of
a session ID and an arbitrary challenge string, and the user name and password
are encrypted before they are sent back to the server). PPP/PAP is the default.
Timeout The timeout in seconds when attempting to connect to a TACACS+ server.
Timeout range is 1 to 10 seconds. 5 seconds is the default.
Custom Menu If custom menus have been created (see Custom User Menu Commands), you
can assign a default custom menu to TACACS+ users.
Escape Sequence A single character or a two-character sequence that causes the SLC 8000
advanced console manager to leave direct (interactive) mode. (To leave listen
mode, press any key.)
A suggested value is Esc+A (escape key, then uppercase "A" performed quickly
but not simultaneously). You would specify this value as \x1bA, which is
hexadecimal (\x) character 27 (1B) followed by an A.
This setting allows the user to terminate the
connect direct command on
the command line interface when the endpoint of the command is
deviceport,
tcp, or udp.
Break
Sequence
A series of 1-10 characters users can enter on the command line interface to send
a break signal to the external device. A suggested value is Esc+B (escape key,
then uppercase “B” performed quickly but not simultaneously). You would specify
this value as \x1bB, which is hexadecimal (\x) character 27 (1B) followed by a B.
See Key Sequences for notes on key sequence precedence and behavior.
Enable for Dial-back Select to grant a user Dial-back access. Users with dial-back access can dial into
the SLC unit and enter their login and password. Once the SLC 8000 advanced
console manager authenticates them, the modem hangs up and dials them back.
Disabled by default.
Dial-back Number The phone number the modem dials back on depends on this setting for the
device port. The user is either Dial-back on a fixed number, or on a number that is
associated with the user’s login (specified here).
Data Ports The ports users are able to monitor and interact with using the connect direct
command. U1 and U2 denote the USB upper and lower ports on the front of the
SLC unit.
Listen Ports
The ports users are able to monitor using the
connect listen command.
