Configuring TACACS+ server authentication
If you are using a TACACS+ server for authentication, make the following preparations first:
• Make sure that the server you want to use is on the network that the Management application
manages.
• Make sure that the external server and its user accounts have been properly configured. For
example, you must define roles and areas of responsibility (AOR) in the external server to
match the Management application roles and AOR.
To configure TACACS+ server authentication, complete the following steps.
1. Select the AAA Settings tab.
2. For Primary Authentication, select TACACS+ Server.
3. Add or edit a TACACS+ server by referring to “Configuring a TACACS+ server” on page 495.
4. Rearrange the TACACS+ servers in the table by selecting a server and click the Up or Down
button to move it.
5. Delete a TACACS+ server by selecting the server and click Delete.
6. Test the established active connection with the TACACS+ server by clicking Test.
The Test Authentication dialog box displays.
7. Enter your user ID and password and click Test.

the Management application server.
