Cisco FMC/Security Team,

Any plan to enable tacacs+ on FMC/FTD, other competitor support tacacs+. We are pretty surprise & disappointed that until now this feature is still not supported.

Hi as per latest configuration guide FMC will still only support  external LDAP or RADIUS authentication server. 

There is no information about tacacs+ authentication as of now in any document

It is not planned due to the relative insecurity of the underlying protocol. The current recommended best practice for user authentication for device administration is to use RADIUS with MFA.

Hello Marvin,
I intended to give read-only access to the ServiceNow MID Server and to allow inventory discovery and inventory update of the CMDB Database.

Can RADIUS still be applicable and relevant?
