[tac_plus] Tacacs server key password config

When setting up a TACACS+ server to authenticate a Cisco router/switch
session, the tacacs-server key password entry provides the shared-secret
key that authenticates the router on the TACACS+ server. This password
permits AAA communications between the router and the TACACS+ server. 

 

The question: is this tacacs-server key entry now the new password used
to access the router?  In other words, instead of entering the enable
secret username/password combination and having the router/IOS
authenticate the session, you now enter the password you supplied for
the tacacs-server key password config and the TACACS server
authenticates you. If this is true, what username do you use?
