TACPPD
TACACS++ AAA (Authentication/Authorization/Accounting) server
 
  The intent of this project is to create solution which can control access to network and be able count and bill users activity and traffic. This is not another one tacacs+ server, the main goal - keep some critical information about currently active users and devices across cluster of servers and have methods for easy access to this information from external programs. Also it have methods for do integrated solution in the future - hardware box with flash memory.
So this is why tacppd has CLI accessible via Telnet, it has some parts of Web-interface, also it has Tacppd Control Interface - telnet-like interface for access from other programs to information of active users and devices. This features now in developing and available for testing purposes. Also we have simple NetFlow collector/aggregator inside which uses information about active users for associate login name with ip address. In plans - add radius, diameter, gtp prime, ssh access to CLI, EAP and so on. And also I have plan to add some basic billing system functions, and Service Selection system for users

  • 22 August 2007 tacppd 0.0.9 released. Several fixes.
  • 25 May 2007 Dear Friends, thank you for your interest to tacppd project. Currently i am very busy but tacppd continue to be playground for me. I do not have plans to close this project, because it still has some unique functionality and i am sure, that after some efforts it can be used in many places. Several words about my view about tacppd future: i am thinking how to redesign CLI code - i don't wish to use XML now, and believe that properly designed C++ code can be more efficient (currently i have to edit XML, create C++ functions and make changes in 3 or 4 places, in new code i wish to have only 1 or 2 places for change). Also i continue to investigate diameter. I don't have enough time for work for radius implementation, but later i will also try it. In addition, i am thinking about how to use Seagull software (http://gull.sourceforge.net), and create testing environment for tacppd. I developed some portions of code for gtp' and will do investigation for merge it with tacppd. So in my mind i see tacppd as common platform, which has logging, database integration, protocol connectors and cluster capabilities as some kind of C/C++/Perl SLEE.
    Hope my ideas will be interesting for you. Please feel free to contact me - may be we can help each other. And check this site and CVS - i believe that i will use more time for it all. Also i plan to do this site more personal - some kind of personal technical blog.
    Yours sincerely, Roman Volkov
  • 18 Apr 2006 tacppd 0.0.8 released. Critical fix in Tacacs++ code - fixed several crashes.
  • 16 Jul 2005 After a year of stagnation i am proud to announce tacppd 0.0.7! It has critical fix into tcp/udp server code, so this code looks like stable now. Also i start redesign of web-based management to improve it and do from it integration point of some upcoming tools.
  • 11 Aug 2004 Tacppd 0.0.7pre6 released. Critical fixes in config parser. Fix compiling under Solaris. Changes in netflow data structures.
  • 9 Aug 2004 Several critical fixes in upcoming pre-release. If you can't run tacppd, get latest daily CVS snapshot from Download page. Also i will release a new version soon - it was a bug with config file parsing, so can't try to use tacppd 0.0.7pre5 and use while CVS snapshot (before release 0.0.7pre6)
  • 25 Jul 2004 Our project currently situated fully on sourceforge, with it's hosting and tools. Hope it will help develop this site and use all sourceforge's tools for us. Also I need in some help - I need in testing zone, where tacppd can be installed and working with or without network devices, because i can't use tacppd now in network so i doesn't have normal testing environment. So if you provide me access to any testing environment with server and may be one or several Cisco network devices you will help this project very much. Write directly to Roman to rv at tacppd.org
