You can define Gaia users on a TACACS server instead of defining them on the Gaia computer. Gaia users that are defined on a TACACS server are called non-local users. Cisco ACS servers are the most commonly used TACACS+ servers. For help with the configuration of a Cisco ACS server as a TACACS+ server for Gaia clients, see sk98733.
Note - sk98733 is an example of best practices and not a replacement for the official Cisco documentation.
When a non-local user logs in to Gaia, the TACACS server authenticates the user and assigns the permissions to the user. You must configure the TACACS server to correctly authenticate and authorize non-local Gaia users.
Note - If you define a TACACS user with a null password (on the TACACS server), Gaia cannot authenticate that user.
