Re: ACS and Terminal Server

Another solution is to have your users telnet into the router itself and
authenticate them here. Obviously you would set them up as
unpriviledged users and have them reverse telnet to loopback interface
that is not advertised in your routed network. You put an access group
on the async lines only allowing connections from the loopback. So in
summary the lines are only accessible from the router itself and you
have your users log into the router.

Hope this helps
