TacacsServerProfileBaseModel

The base model contains fields common to all CRUD operations.

Field	Type	Required	Description
`name`	`str`	Yes	Profile name
`server`	`List[TacacsServer]`	No	List of TACACS+ servers
`protocol`	`TacacsProtocol`	No	TACACS+ protocol type

`use_single_connection`	`bool`	No	Use single connection
`folder`	`str`	No*	Folder in which the resource is defined
`snippet`	`str`	No*	Snippet in which the resource is defined
`device`	`str`	No*	Device in which the resource is defined

* Exactly one of folder, snippet, or device is required.

TacacsServerProfileCreateModel

Inherits from TacacsServerProfileBaseModel and adds container validation ensuring exactly one of folder, snippet, or device is provided.

TacacsServerProfileUpdateModel

Inherits from TacacsServerProfileBaseModel with an additional required field:

Field	Type	Required	Description
`id`	`UUID`	Yes	The unique identifier of the profile

TacacsServerProfileResponseModel

Inherits from TacacsServerProfileBaseModel with an additional field:

Usage Examples

Creating a TACACS+ Server Profile

from scm.models.identity.tacacs_server_profiles import (
    TacacsServerProfileCreateModel,
    TacacsServer,
    TacacsProtocol,
)

# Create model instance
profile = TacacsServerProfileCreateModel(
    name="corp-tacacs",
    folder="Texas",
    server=[
        TacacsServer(
            name="tacacs-primary",
            address="10.0.1.50",
            port=49,
            secret="shared-secret"
        )
    ],
    protocol=TacacsProtocol.CHAP,
    timeout=5,
    use_single_connection=True
)

# Use with SDK
payload = profile.model_dump(exclude_unset=True)
result = client.tacacs_server_profile.create(payload)

Parsing a TACACS+ Server Profile Response

from scm.models.identity.tacacs_server_profiles import (
    TacacsServerProfileResponseModel,
)

# Parse API response
response = TacacsServerProfileResponseModel(**api_response)
print(f"Name: {response.name}")
print(f"Protocol: {response.protocol}")
print(f"Timeout: {response.timeout}")
if response.server:
    for server in response.server:
        print(f"  Server: {server.name} ({server.address}:{server.port})")
