AuthAgent TACACS+ is the Newest Addition to TeamF1’s AuthAgent Suite of Embedded Authentication Components<\/strong><\/p>\n

FREMONT, Calif. – Dec. 27 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — TeamF1, Inc. (www.TeamF1.com), the leader in embedded networking and security software, today announced immediate availability of AuthAgent TACACS+, its newest product – an implementation of the Cisco TACACS+ (Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System Plus) Protocol, that provides separate authentication and authorization features for networked devices.<\/p>\n

\"TeamF1\"AuthAgent TACACS+ is the latest addition to TeamF1’s AuthAgent suite of lean, flexible and configurable authentication protocols. It implements the client side of a client\/server information exchange mechanism providing network access to users based on credentials managed by standard “TACACS+ servers” such as those available from Cisco Systems and other leading vendors. With AuthAgent TACACS+, networked embedded devices are able to easily verify user credentials and authorize users without having the overhead of maintaining and administering a database of sensitive user information locally on the device. Applications include secure access to VPNs, gateway devices, dial-up connectors, Ethernet switches and wireless networks, among others.<\/p>\n

“Architects of network devices that may be deployed in environments using Cisco networking gear will have a strong need for TACACS+ authentication built into their devices,” said Andy Oehler, Director of Product Management at TeamF1. “With its small footprint and easy-to-use API, TeamF1’s AuthAgent TACACS+ enables OEMs to bring such devices quickly to market, with rich authentication functionality and without any significant impact on system resources.” <\/p>\n

AuthAgent TACACS+ is Cisco draft-RFC compliant. It supports password authentication (PAP) as well as challenge-response authentication, and supports CHAP and MS-CHAP authentication. Its modular architecture allows for easy exclusion of unneeded functionality. It is easily ported to many embedded operating systems, offering lower hardware\/software integration risks for OEMs. <\/p>\n

Availability<\/strong>
AuthAgent TACACS+ is available as a source license under royalty-free terms directly from TeamF1 with immediate availability on Wind River’s VxWorks(R) operating system (including VxWorks-based Platforms) and Linux(R). TeamF1’s expert professional services team is also available to help with customizations to the product and ports to other device operating systems. <\/p>\n

AuthAgent TACACS+ is also available as an add-on module for TeamF1’s SMBware(TM) production-ready turnkey solutions that enable OEMs\/ODMs to deliver devices to the small-to-medium business (SMB) market.<\/p>\n
