Which is more secure RADIUS or Tacacs+?
As TACACS+ uses TCP therefore more reliable than RADIUS. TACACS+ provides more control over the authorization of commands while in RADIUS, no external authorization of commands is supported. All the AAA packets are encrypted in TACACS+ while only the passwords are encrypted in RADIUS i.e more secure.
What is the difference between LDAP and RADIUS?
LDAP and RADIUS are two popular protocols used for authentication and authorization. LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol while RADIUS stands Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service. LDAP clients can get information about the entries and modify the entries by contacting the server.
What is RADIUS secret?
To accomplish the authentication in a secure manner, the RADIUS client and RADIUS server must both be configured with the same shared password or “secret”. This “secret” is used to generate one-way encrypted authenticators that are present in all RADIUS packets. The “secret” is never transmitted over the network.

How is the RADIUS server used for authentication?
While the RADIUS server is processing the authentication request, it can perform authorization functions such as verifying the user’s telephone number and checking whether the user already has a session in progress. The RADIUS server can determine whether the user already has a session in progress by contacting a state server.
What are the names of the RADIUS servers?
Servers that support the RADIUS protocol are generally referred to as the RADIUS servers. The RADIUS client, that is, the NAS, passes information about the User to designated RADIUS servers, and then acts on the response that the servers return.
