Configuring TACACS+
TACACS+ provides a centralized user management system, while still retaining consistency
with RADIUS and other authentication processes. TACACS+ provides the following services:
• Authentication:
Provides authentication during login and via user names and
user-defined passwords.
• Authorization:
Performed at login. When the authentication session is completed, an
authorization session starts using the authenticated user name. The TACACS+ server
checks the user privileges.
The TACACS+ protocol ensures network security through encrypted protocol exchanges
between the device and TACACS+ server.
The TACACS+ folder contains links to the following features:
• Configuring TACACS+ on page 181
• TACACS+ Server Configuration on page 182
