testing tls1.3 for http and tacacs services on 9300-48U with 17.15.3
http is fine but I don't see tls option under tacacs server config
switch(config-server-tacacs)#t?
timeout
any advice is appreciated, I have my root and signed certificate associated with trustpoint, but not able to map the trustpoint with tacacs service.
for http, I have no issues
switch(config-server-tacacs)#do sh run | sec http
ip http tls-version TLSv1.3
ip http secure-trustpoint my-switch-trustpoint

why look on the tacacs+ client / switch? -> set minimum version on the TACACS+ server to TLS1.3

server side is configured already, client side config below is what I am not able to configure

- @ammahend If the server offers TLS 1.3 only , then the client can do nothing else

the http tls-version command and certificate is for incoming requests to the web-interface of the device
this configures the web-management interface to use TLSV1.3
and has nothing to do with outgoing connection to the TACACS+ server.
-> you must do similar configuration on the TACACS+ server itself

Please see my question and link I shared, I already said https is working fine.
my question was about associating trustpoint with tacacs server but I don’t see any tls command under tacacs server config (like shown in the url I shared), suppose to be supported from 17.15.x

@ammahend You should have these commands available, indeed from 17.15.X:
Step 1. Create TACACSS server and AAA groups, associate the client (router) trustpoint.
tacacs server svs_tacacs
address ipv4 10.225.253.209
single-connection
tls port 6049
tls idle-timeout 60
tls connection-timeout 60
tls trustpoint client svs_cat9k
tls ip tacacs source-interface GigabitEthernet0/0
tls ip vrf forwarding Mgmt-vrf
!
aaa group server tacacs+ svs_tls
server name svs_tacacs
ip vrf forwarding Mgmt-vrf
!
tacacs-server directed-request
