TACACS user authentication on WF-500

RJ274 — Sat, 04 Sep 2021 14:54:02 GMT

Hi Team,

The customer has a query about whether if is it possible to configure TACACS user authentication through WF-500.
The customer has no panorama setup or anything he was able to successfully configure on Palo Alto NGFW but not on WF-500.

I request you to kindly provide some updates on this issue.

Awaiting your response.

Thanks & Regards

Thank you @RJ274 for posting question.

I was researching this topic in the past. As per documentation for all the releases, the WF-500 has the only external authentication option and it is RADIUS. Since customer does not have Panorama deployed, this is out of question as well. Also, since RADIUS and TACACS+ are totally different protocols, I do not believe there is any dirty solution to come up with protocol conversion/translation, so I do not believe this customer request is not possible to fulfill.

Kind Regards

Pavel
