Configuring Authentication Parameters for Management Users
Instant now allows you to configure a TACACS+Server as the authentication server to support authentication and
accounting privileges for management users. TACACS+ server allows a remote access server to communicate with
an authentication server to determine if the user has access to the network. In Instant, the users can create several
TACACS+ server profiles, out of which one or two of the servers can be specified to authenticate management
users.
TACACS+ supports the following types of authentication for management users in Instant:
l ASCII
l PAP
l CHAP
l ARAP
l MSCHAP
The TACACS+ server cannot be attributed to any SSID or wired profile in general as the authentication server and
is configured only for management users.
You can also enable TACACS+ accounting when the TACACS+ server is used for authentication.
