12: User Authentication
SLCâ„¢ 8000 Advanced Console Manager User Guide 249
TACACS+
Similar to RADIUS, the main function of TACACS+ is to perform authentication for remote access.
The SLC 8000 advanced console manager supports the TACACS+ protocol (not the older
TACACS or XTACACS protocols).
The system administrator can configure the SLC unit to use TACACS+ to authenticate users
attempting to log in using the Web, Telnet, SSH, or the console port.
Users who are authenticated through Kerberos are granted device port access through the port
permissions on this page.
All TACACS+ users are members of a group with associated predefined user rights. You may add
additional user rights that are not defined by the group.
To configure the SLC unit to use TACACS+ to authenticate users:
1. Click the TACACS+ tab and select TACACS+. The following page displays.
