The server logs can be accessed on the TACACS+ server at /var/log/tac_plus.log. The accounting

Role Authentication Order screen

Use this screen to specify the authentication services to be used during log in and set the order in which each

authentication method is queried for each role. Role authentication order is followed for role-prefixed logins

only, such as "domain:user1". In the case of an authentication service-prefixed login, such as "radius:user1"

or a default login without a prefix, such as "user1", the login succeeds if credentials are correct and the
authentication service is enabled. This is regardless of what role authentication orders are defined.
By default, VCM queries the authentication services for each role in the following order:

Domain: local > ldap > radius > tacacs
