Configuring TACACS+
TACACS+ provides a centralized user management system, while still retaining consistency
with RADIUS and other authentication processes. TACACS+ provides the following services:
• Authentica
tion. Provides authentication during login and via user names and
user-defined passwords.
• Authorizat
ion. 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 th
rough encrypted protocol exchanges
between the device and TACACS+ server.

older contains links described in the following sections.
