TACACS server open source ?

tedauction — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 18:43:42 GMT

Hello is there a feasible open source TACACS server to use for our switch/router AAA logins or is really the only option to go with Cisco ACS ?

Note I am certainly not a Linux expert.

Hi

For tacacs, there's as you said Cisco ACS but i would recommend going with Cisco ISE.

In terms of open source tacacs, there's free tacacs on Ubuntu machines (tac_plus). You'll find a lot of documentation on internet how to install and configure it.

I know done colleagues have used a few windows tacacs, but I've never tested it.
I personally know very well Cisco servers and Tac_Plus on Linux
