Print This PostFinally, Cisco’s original TACACS+ server compiled to run under Windows! This is the original 4.0.4 version of tac_plus.
Please NOTE: None of the TACACS code available here comes with any warranty or support.
Description:
tac_plus.F4.0.4.alpha.tar.Z
Developer’s kit source code for Cisco’s Unix Tacacs+ daemon. This is alpha test software and is unsupported. For a supported product, see Cisco’s CiscoSecure product line.
This package was created using the original file described above which contains Cisco source code.
Installation:
Unzip the contents of the file to a directory of your choice.
Configuration:
Edit the included tac.cfg config file or create a new one from scratch. *Note* Be sure to edit/create the configuration file in a UNIX file friendly editor. If the file is edited and saved in something like notepad, a CRLF character get’s put at the end of each line - which the server can’t read.
For configuration file assistance, see the following URL:
http://www.stben.net/tacacs/users_guide.html
Running the Tacacs+ Server:
tac_plus.exe -C tac.cfg
Stopping the Tacacs+ Server:
Bring up the task manager (Control-Alt-Delete), go to the Processes tab,
right click on tac_plus.exe and select End Process.

Hi, thanks for this software, it is really very good tool.
I have two questions:
1) Could you have the guide to install tac_plus as service in Windows? Is is easier to start/stop when needed.
2)If I change something in the cfg file, do I need to stop and start again the tac_plus? Or is there any way to change without restart tac_plus?
Many thanks,
Cassio

Hi,
I had tried this original TACACS working fine under W2K3 SP2, this original TACACS version do not have the “acl” function. The TACACS+ with “acl” function is available on TACACS for Linux version F4.0.4.15.
TACACS+ F4.0.4.15 for Linux can be downloaded on ftp://ftp.shrubbery.net/pub/tac_plus/tacacs+-F4.0.4.15.tar.gz
Any one would help to compile so it can be running under windows?
Regards

Hi Tomas,
I have spent a few hours trying to compile the newer version with no luck yet. My current problem is with the Unix crypt, which is used to store passwords as hashes in the database. I haven’t given up, stay tuned.
