AmpCon™AmpCon-DC supports integrating with the Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+) server to do authentication and authorization for the AmpCon-DC login users.
In addition to using local users (global users or group users), you can also enable the TACACS+ integration to manage user access.

Before You Begin
Before you enable the TACACS+ integration, read the following notes:
You can configure at most two TACACS+ servers on the AmpCon-DC server. One is the primary and active server, while the other one is the secondary server, which is used for backup. No need to configure Configure the secondary server if only when backup is not needed.
You can designate authorization levels by using the priv-lvl parameter on the TACACS+ server. The priv-lvl configuration is sent in the TACACS+ authorization response. The priv-lvl parameter value is mapped to one of these local role levels: Readonly, Operator, Admin, and Superadmin.
For how to configure authorization levels on the TACACS+ server, see the Sample Configuration of Authorization Level on TACACS+ Server (Linux tac_plus) section.
AmpCon-DC sends authorization requests with “Arg[0]” service=AmpCon-DC. On the TACACS+ server, you need to set the value of the parameter “service=AmpCon-DC” to process authorization requests of AmpCon-DC users.
If both the primary and the secondary TACACS+ servers are unreachable, you can use local users (global user or group user) to log in to the AmpCon-DC UI.
