Configure TACACS+ Servers

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 through user names and

user-defined passwords.

Authorization

.

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