Understanding TACACS

TACACS+ (Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System Plus) is a widely-used authentication protocol that provides centralized control over access to network devices such as routers, switches, and firewalls. It offers separate authentication, authorization, and accounting services, enhancing security by allowing administrators to manage user access permissions with a high level of granularity. TACACS+ encrypts all communication between the client and the TACACS+ server, making it a secure method for controlling network access.
