Managing GSS User Accounts

Through a TACACS+ Server

This chapter describes how to configure the GSS, primary GSSM, or standby

GSSM as a client of a TACACS+ server for separate authentication, authorization,

and accounting (AAA) services. Configuring the GSS as a client of a TACACS+

server provides a higher level of security by allowing you to control who can

users, and to use the TACACS+ server to record the specific CLI commands and

GUI pages accessed by a GSS user.
