Specifying TACACS+ servers

You can specify multiple TACACS+ servers. NetProfiler tries to connect to each TACACS+ server in the order in which it is listed. It sends an authentication request to the first TACACS+ server it is able to connect to. The first TACACS+ server to provide a valid pass/fail response ends the search. Authentication requests include the information specified in the global TACACS+ settings.   more

To specify a TACACS+ server that NetProfiler can use:

  1. Go to the Configured Servers section of the TACACS+ tab of the Administration > Account Management > Remote Authentication page.

  2. Enter the server information. This is normally provided by the TACACS+ server administrator.

The Client Port field specifies the TACACS+ protocol client port used on the Network Access Server (NAS). Leave this field empty unless the TACACS+ server administrator asks you to specify a port.

  1. Select Enabled for the NetProfiler to use the server.

  2. Click Add. This adds the server to the list.

  3. Click the Test link in the Actions column for the entry to verify that NetProfiler can connect to the TACACS+ server. A message box reports the results of the connection attempt.

Server entries can be enabled, disabled, edited, deleted, and tested.
