[c-nsp] TACACS vs RADIUS

[Webster, Andy]

Cisco has a really good page detailing the differences between TACACS and RADIUS at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk59/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094e99.shtml#comparing.

Hi there,

        I'm contemplating switching from TACACS to RADIUS for admin
authentication on switches and routers.  In part this is so I can
reduce the number of services that have to be maintained, and part has
to do with integration with our existing authentication system.

        Can someone comment on whether RADIUS is a viable replacement for
TACACS?  Will I end up missing some major feature of TACACS?  Will
using RADIUS end up reducing security?

Thanks,
