TACACS.net was built from the ground up with the user in mind. It's fast, simple, and easy to deploy.

Runs on Windows Workstation or Server

TACACS.net can be installed on a Windows Server or desktop system. Windows Server is preferred for better performance and Active Directory integration, but can also be run on a Windows desktop system with local Users and Groups, or with local static credentials configured within the system.

Pre-compiled software with installation wizard

The software does not require compiling and comes with an easy to use installation wizard to get you up and running within minutes

Active Directory Integration

Integrates seamlessly with Active Directory without requiring any additional software. You can create profiles based on groups or subgroups already configured in AD. Users can authenticate using their Windows username and password.

Runs as a Windows service

Windows start/stop/reload

No dependencies

TACACS.net software does not require any other languages or interpreters like Perl, Java, or Python. This simplifies installation and reduces complexity and troubleshooting.
