This screen lets you test a configured TACACS+ server to determine that:
• The VPN Concentrator is communicating properly with the TACACS+ server.
• The server correctly authenticates a valid administrator.
• The server correctly rejects an invalid user.
Caution Misconfiguration of TACACS+ can lock an administrator out of the Concentrator HTML interface.
If that happens, you can access the Concentrator by logging in through the console port, using your
administrator username and password.
