Currently, TACACS+ is used for VPN authentication and device login, but not all those users should, or need, access to the CLI of the network equipment (We use both Cisco and HP devices).  Eventually I would like to use the RADIUS setup for wireless authentication too.

  The hope is that we can add TACACS+ support to FreeRADIUS in a future
version.  That will help with migration.
