4.3.6 TACACS+ Authentication
Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System Plus (TACACS+) is a protocol that handles
authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) services. SecureSync supports pam_
tacplus, allowing users to validate their username/password when logging into SecureSync via
a TACACS+ server. Currently, http/https/ssh/pure-ftpd are supported.
In order to enable TACACS+ for ssh/pure-ftpd, a matching user account needs to be created
locally on the SecureSync unit that matches the account on the TACACS+ server:
For example, a user with the username “user3” and password “pass3” on the TACACS+ server
also has to create a “user3” account on the SecureSync unit before logging in (the password
can be different).
