3. In the User Rights section, select the user group to which TACACS+ users belong.
4. Select or clear the checkboxes for the following rights:
TACACS+
Servers 1-3
IP address or host name of up to three TACACS+ servers.
Secret Shared secret for message encryption between the SLC console manager and the
TACACS+ server. Enter an alphanumeric secret of up to 127 characters.
Encrypt
Messages
Select the checkbox to encrypt messages between the SLC device and the
TACACS+ server. Selected by default.
Custom Menu If custom menus have been created (see the User Guide), you can assign a default
custom menu to TACACS+ users.
Escape Sequence A single character or a two-character sequence that causes the SLC console
manager to leave direct (interactive) mode. (To leave listen mode, press any key.)
A suggested value is Esc+A (escape key, then uppercase “A” performed quickly but
not simultaneously). You would specify this value as \x1bA, which is hexadecimal
(\x) character 27 (1B) followed by an A.
This setting allows the user to terminate the connect direct command on the
command line interface when the endpoint of the command is deviceport, tcp,
or udp.
Break Sequence A series of 1-10 characters users can enter on the command line interface to send a
break signal to the external device. A suggested value is Esc+B (escape key, then
uppercase “B” performed quickly but not simultaneously). You would specify this
value as \x1bB, which is hexadecimal (\x) character 27 (1B) followed by a B.
Enable for Dial-
back
Select to grant a user dial-back access. Users with dial-back access can dial into
the SLC unit and enter their login and password. Once the SLC console manager
authenticates them, the modem hangs up and dials them back. Disabled by default.
Dial-back Number The phone number the modem dials back on depends on this setting for the device
port. The user is either dialed back on a fixed number, or on a number that is
associated with the user’s login (specified here).
Data Ports The ports users are able to monitor and interact with using the connect direct
command. U and L denote the upper and lower slots of the PC Card. U1 denotes
the USB port.
Listen Port The ports users are able to monitor using the connect listen command.
Clear Port Buffers The ports whose port buffer users may clear using the set log clear command.
