ADMIN -
(Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System Plus) is an access control
network protocol for routers, network access servers and other networked computing
devices.
Unlike RADIUS and the predecessors of (TACACS and XTACACS),
provides separate authentication, authorization and accounting services. Like
RADIUS, TACACS and XTACACS, is an open, publicly documented protocol.
uses the TCP protocol and encrypts the entire packet (except the header).
authentication on the SyncServer is designed to inter-operate with standard com-

Extended Character Set for logins
