Administering and Troubleshooting Cisco Secure ACS for
Windows
Once installed, Cisco Secure ACS is configured and
administered using a web browser through the HTML interface, enabling easy
configuration from any host on the LAN or WAN. The Cisco Secure ACS HTML
interface uses HTML and some Java functions for ease of use. This program design
keeps the interface straightforward and responsive. Figure 4-5 shows the Cisco
Secure ACS HTML interface.
From the HTML interface, you can easily view and edit user and
group information, stop and restart services, add or change remote
administrators, modify AAA client information, back up the system, view reports,
and more. Reports track connection activities, show users who are logged in,
list any failed authentication and authorization attempts, and show a history of
the recent tasks of administrators.
The HTML interface has three vertical frames that perform the
following functions:
-
Navigation bar
-
Configuration area
-
Display area
Figure 4-6 shows the three frames of the ACS HTML
configuration screen.
