TACACSGUI Installation Process

When Ubuntu Installation process is completed, you can run TACACSGUI Installation script. It is also very straight-forwards. All you need is to run next command:

sudo ./tgui_install/tacacsgui.sh silent

Default login and password to access Ubuntu terminal is tacgui/tacgui.

Installation script will make two main phases

  1. Checks all packages and libraries that required for Ubuntu, if something is missing it will install it.
  2. Downloads and installs TACACSGUI package.

First Installation Phase

More info about the first phase. Script will do next steps:

  1. Install MySQL (if missing). Script will generate random password for database user (tgui_user) and for root user. You can find all password in file /opt/tacacsgui/web/api/config.php.
  2. Check required for Ubuntu packages ( python3-mysqldb, ibmysqlclient-dev, python3-dev, make, gcc, openssl, apache2, lwresd, curl, zip, unzip, libnet-ldap-perl, ldap-utils, ntp, libapache2-mod-xsendfile, libpcre3-dev:amd64, libbind-dev ). Installs if missing.
  3. Checks access to github.com, packagist.org, tacacsgui.com.
  4. Checks installation of TACACS+ daemon (tac_plus). If daemon is missing, script will install fresh copy of  TACACS+ daemon (tac_plus).
