tacacs configuration for FTD's via FMC

[Ranjith KR]

Dear All,

we have a 2130 FTDs in high availability cluster (active standby) managed via FMC 4000. Firmware of both FTS and FMC is 6.2.3.6 with build 37. I need to configure the FTDs to get authentication via Tacacs (cisco ACS). I couldnt find exact steps or instruction to configure this. kindly help...!

Thanks,

Ranji

Hi,

FTD/FMC does not supports Tacacs, you need to go with Radius authentication. 

Below doc will help you to configure ACS & FMC/FTD integration for external authentication with radius.

Like @Abheesh Kumar said, RADIUS is one option. The other supported external authentication method is LDAP.

TACACS+ is not currently supported (as of 6.2.3.7).

Thank you for your advice.

Garbage! Radius isnt supported in FIPS mode. Cmon Cisco!
