Hi, We have been using Cisco ACS for NT for 1 year. It is very easy to configure and learn it(easier than source code I suppose), but it is not stable software, sometimes it stops. Sometimes some functions does not work well, but the source of the problem might be the operating system(NT). I did not used Solaris version of this software. Some versions of Cisco ACS has security vulnerabilities. I didn't understand what you mean with enable password(router??). But you can find on the documantations, what this software can do, what can't(the rest). http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/pcat/sqasnt.htm Bulent Sahin ----- Vzg|n ]leti ----- Kimden: "Sean Young" Kime: Gvnderme tarihi: 27 Nisan 2001 Cuma 16:24 Konu: Differences between TACACS+ and Cisco ACS [7:2245] > Hi Everyone, > > The company I am working for is considering purchasing Cisco ACS > software.
