Usage Guidelines To enable user authentication with a TACACS+ server, use the authentication global configuration

to access the remote database.
Use the tacacs key command to specify the TACACS+ key, used to encrypt the packets transmitted to
the server. This key must be the same as the one specified on the server daemon. The maximum number
of characters in the key should not exceed 99 printable ASCII characters (except tabs). An empty key
