Hello,

Does anyone know of any good TACACS+ server configuration guides / cookbooks etc? I haven’t been able to find much configuration support anywhere online. There must be an extensive command / option list somewhere. One of the very few references I’ve been able to find is http://www.stben.net/tacacs/users_guide.html, which I believe was referenced on this webpage.

Thanks,
Joe

When using accounting, there needs to be an entry in the tac.cfg file with:

accounting file =

is this simply a file name, or a full path? Does the file need to exist prior? Thanks!

Dear Author,
I am using your tacacs tool with one of my switch which is not cisco.

I have given permission for the user to execute all show commands.
But after authentication I am unable to run any show commands.

user = lily {
login = cleartext lily
cmd = show {
permit .*
}
}
Kindly advise.

For those having the line 5 issue, the format of the config file must be a UNIX formatting, so no CRLFs (Carriage Return, Line Feeds) must be in the file. I use a third party application to edit the file. It runs fine afterward.

Scott I think there a massive gap in the market between this original version and the full commercial TACACS server versions.
I would be more that happy to pay for a such a simple easy to use and effected tools, It just need a little bit of tarting up, and maybe a GUI, and I will be your first customer

thanks for sharing this and any news of an updated version.
