Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System (TACACS) is a remote authentication protocol that is used to communicate with an authentication server commonly used in UNIX networks. TACACS allows a remote access server to communicate with an authentication server in order to determine if the user has access to the network. TACACS is defined in RFC 1492, and uses (either TCP or UDP) port 49 by default. A later version of TACACS introduced by Cisco in 1990 was called Extended TACACS (XTACACS). The TACACS protocol was developed by and is proprietary of Cisco Systems. TACACS allows a client to accept a username and password and send a query to a TACACS authentication server, sometimes called a TACACS daemon or simply TACACSD. This server was normally a program running on a host. The host would determine whether to accept or deny the request and send a response back.
