I don't have a direct answer to your question, but we use tac_plus with
the RADIUS extension to authenticate from our IPS environment to a
Windows 2003 domain, and there are two things I vaguely remember from
that setup (maybe they apply to your setup as well):

- when authenticating we have to use the complete login name, including
domain info: username at domain.tlc
- we had to switch 'Store passwords in reversable form' (or something
like that - in Windows that is) to be able to authenticate. The first
password is stored that way after a password change.
- we discovered that some password do not work: passwords with a "+"
sign in it, but I don't know if that due to TACACS or RADIUS.

Hope it helps.
