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.
