Hello Jay,

Thank you for suggesting this document. I've already tried this one. What I
already have achieved is that the administrators can login the VPN
Concentrator using their TACACS Login with full privileges.

The only problem is that now I need to add some users who would have read
only access to the VPN concentrator. I did that on the ACS but for some
reason users in this read only group cannot log in. The ACS Server lets you
configure authorization but I think it lets u specify the commands that one
would be allowed to run, now in case of VPN Concentratror's it is a GUI that
one uses how could I restrict using the commands.

I couldn't find any document on this.

Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

Regards
Pankaj
