You can authorize users in the UserGate administrative console using a TACACS+ authentication server. In this case, UserGate transmits the username and password information to the auth servers, and then the TACACS+ servers respond as to whether the authentication was successful.
To add a TACACS+ authentication server, click Add, select Add TACACS+ server, and provide the following settings:
|
