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.
