Of the customers that I am interacting with, both use TACACS+ for authorization 
and accounting. My take is that there would a requirement for NETCONF to be 
able to interact with the server.

One way to deal with authorization is for the server to download the 
authorization rules and do local authorization instead of sending all the 
requests to the server, which as you point out would otherwise slow 
authorization down. 

A related question is, if NACM is used to setup rules for authorization, and 
there is a remote AAA server configured, are the rules for the NETCONF server 
to store and manage or are they for the AAA server? If the latter, what is 
communication channel between them?

Thanks.
