TACACS+ Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting
TACACS+ is a security application that provides centralized authentication of users attempting to gain
access to a network element. The implementation of TACACS+ protocol allows customers to configure
one or more authentication servers for the SCE platform, providing a secure means of managing the SCE
platform, as the authentication server will authenticate each user. This then centralizes the authentication
database, making it easier for the customers to manage the SCE platform.
TACACS+ services are maintained in a database on a TACACS+ server running, typically, on a UNIX
or Windows NT workstation. You must have access to and must configure a TACACS+ server before the
configured TACACS+ features on your network element are available.
The TACACS+ protocol provides authentication between the network element and the TACACS+ ACS,
and it can also ensure confidentiality, if a key is configured, by encrypting all protocol exchanges
between a network element and a TACACS+ server.
