Create a TACACS+ Client

The NPB application uses the local database for authentication by default.

Before you begin

  • Only admin users can perform this procedure.
  • After configuring the client-side TACACS+ server list, you must set the authentication mode so that TACACS+ is used as the primary source of authentication.

About this task

You can configure the NPB application to authenticate users with the TACACS+ server as the primary method, with the local database as the fallback if TACACS+ is unavailable or authentication fails.

Procedure

Create a TACACS+ client.
