Options

  • AEvent logging
  • BUse of two-factor password authentication
  • CUser has the ability to change his password
  • DAbility for security tokens to be resynchronized

Event logging is NOT an advantage that TACACS+ has over the original TACACS - basic event logging existed in TACACS as well. TACACS+ improved upon TACACS by adding support for two-factor authentication (B), allowing users to change their own passwords (C), and enabling security token resynchronization (D). TACACS+ also added full encryption of the authentication session, separation of AAA functions, and multiprotocol support - these are the real distinguishing improvements.
