Defining TACACS+ Settings

The devices provide Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+) client support. TACACS+ provides centralized security for validation of users accessing the device.

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. Once 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 integrity through encrypted protocol exchanges between the device and TACACS+ server.

To open the TACACS+ Settings page, click System Management Security TACACS+ in the tree view.
