Group Authorization on TACACS+
Selecting Configuration>Security>Authentication>Tacacs+ in Expert mode
brings up the TACACS+ form where an administrators can enable group
authorization checking.
By enabling the “Enable Raccess Authorization” check box, an additional
level of security checking is implemented. After each user/group is
successfully authenticated through the standard login procedure, the KVM/net
uses TACACS+ server to authorize whether or not each user/group is allowed
access to the connected devices.
By default the “Enable Raccess Authorization” is disabled allowing all users
full authorization. When this feature is enabled by placing a check mark in the
box, users are denied access unless they have the proper authorization, which
must be set on the TACACS+ authentication server itself.
