This topic describes how to configure a TACACS authentication server on Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG).
To configure a TACACS authentication server
-
In the Forefront UAG Management console, on the Admin menu, click Authentication and Authorization Servers.
-
On the Authentication and Authorization Servers dialog box, click Add.
-
In the Server type list, click TACACS.
-
On the Add Authentication Server dialog box, configure the following server settings:
- Server name—Name of the server or
repository. This name is used when you select the server or
repository during the configuration of Forefront UAG. It is also
displayed to end users when they are prompted to select a server
during authentication.
- IP address/host—IP address or host
name of the TACACS server.
- Port—Port number of the TACACS
server.
- Alternate IP/host—IP address or host
name of the alternate TACACS server.
- Alternate port—Port number of the
alternate TACACS server.
- Secret key—The secret key that is used
to encrypt and decrypt the user password. The key you define here
must be identical to the secret key assigned for the Forefront UAG
client in the TACACS authentication server.
- Use a different server for portal
authorization—Applicable in portal trunks only. Select this
check box to use a different server, where users and user groups
are defined, for application authorization. In this case, selecting
the TACACS server for application authorization, brings users and
user groups from the associated server rather than from the TACACS
server.
- Select server—Click the server to use
for application authorization. You can use one of the
following:
- Any of the configured authentication servers
where users and user groups are defined, such as, NT Domain or
Notes Directory.
- Built-In Users/Groups—Use the computer’s
Windows Local Users and Groups console. To access the console,
click Launch Local Users and Groups console.
Note: Selecting this option does not enable you to define the local computer’s Windows Local Users and Groups console as an authentication server. To define the local computer as the authentication server, select the NT Domain server-type, and enter the name of the local computer in the NT Domain field. - Any of the configured authentication servers
where users and user groups are defined, such as, NT Domain or
Notes Directory.
- Server name—Name of the server or
repository. This name is used when you select the server or
repository during the configuration of Forefront UAG. It is also
displayed to end users when they are prompted to select a server
during authentication.

On the Add Authentication Server dialog box, click OK, and then on the Authentication and Authorization Servers dialog box, click Close.
