Hi,

Does someone know when ISE release 2.0 is coming and if TACACs is going to be supported?

Thank you in advance.

Joana.

Don't hold your breath, it's gonna be a while.

What Jan said. I have been deploying ISE solutions since version 1.0 (4 years ago) and back then it was said that TACACS+ is coming to 2.0. Well ISE is not on version 1.3 which really should be 4.0 based on the different enhancements that were put in place.

To be honest, I have the feeling that TACACS+ might never make it in ISE. Nobody else is implementing TACACS+ and all vendors have moved towards the industry standard which is RADIUS. In addition, it is a 15 years old technology/code that Cisco has to maintain. I have also heard that some of the original TACACS+ developers are no longer around...No longer alive...so you get my point here.

Anyways, with all of that being said, how are you using TACACS+ today? I have converted many customers to RADIUS and most of them are happy with what RADIUS has to offer.

Hi,Thank you for your answers

Hi,

Thank you for your answers.

Well, the thing is I want to use both for different purposes. It is not a matter of choosing one over another. They are different protocols with different features. I am talking about a Cisco-based network, therefore TACACS+ offers more granularity for AAA, more controlled access to administer network devices and it is more secure than RADIUS because the full session is encrypted. So from the point of view of administering Cisco network devices, we choose TACACS+ over RADIUS (we maintain our ACS boxes for TACACS+). However, we use ISE and RADIUS for Wireless and VPN authentication/authorization.

Thanks again for your advice.

Joana.

In that case you are stuck on

In that case you are stuck on either waiting for TACACS+ on ISE or get Cisco ACS 🙂

Hi Charles,

The release with TACACS

Marvin Rhoads — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 15:07:33 GMT

The release with TACACS support will be 2.0. Beta testing is kicking off starting in July.

The release date won't be committed until the beta is well underway but this fall (2015) would be a safe bet.

Thanks Marvin,Not sure if its

Manoj Gupta — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 15:21:27 GMT

Thanks Marvin,

Not sure if its open beta program or closed, if open what is the process to join the same, would be very much interested in trying my hands on it and be part of beta testing.

Regards,

Manoj

Your welcome.The beta is not

Marvin Rhoads — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 15:31:55 GMT

You're welcome.

The beta is not open - Cisco has an internal nomination process via the Security Consulting Systems Engineers (CSEs) and/or ISE ATP Partners.

The call for nominees just went out late last week so if you contact your local SE you may be able to get them to put your name in for consideration.

Hi CharlesWhich TACACS+

Jimmy Harrysson — Thu, 25 Jun 2015 07:40:52 GMT

Hi Charles

Which TACACS+ features will not be supported in ISE 2.0 that do exist in ACS 5.x today?

I would like to decommission our ACS deployment and fully use the ISE in the future.

regards

Jimmy

Charles,do you know if there

Roman Rodichev — Tue, 06 Oct 2015 18:09:09 GMT

Charles,

do you know if there will be separate licensing in ISE 1.5 for TACACS device management, or if it will rely on the existing licensing model. With current model it would count # of concurrently logged in network admins into equipment, which is a little strange.
