Using TACACS+ for User Authentication
On the previous page, we created users and assigned passwords to each user. The NAM also supports
additional password security by adding TACACS+ server support for authenticating users configured for NAM
use. TACACS is an authentication protocol that provides remote access authentication, authorization, and
related services. With TACACS, user passwords and privileges are administered in a central database to
provide scalability. To use TACACS+ services with the NAM, you must first have or install a TACACS+ server
and configure the TACACS+ to include an account for the NAM. TACACS+ user groups should be created for
each privilege type. NAM privileges are configured in the TACACS+ server as IOS Shell commands (refer to
the NAM User Guide for more information on the NAM TACACS+ configuration options for NAM privileges).
Refer to your individual TACACS+ installation and user guides for instructions on configuring your TACACS+
server.
When you have completed the TACACS+ server configuration, simply use the Admin > Users > TACACS+
task to enter the IP address of the TACACS+ server and the keys you assigned for the NAM on the
TACACS+ server to complete authentication services between the NAM and the TACACS+ server.
