CSAdmin

CSAdmin

CSAdmin is the service for the Cisco Secure ACS internal web server that eliminates the need for a third-party web server. Once installed, Cisco Secure ACS must be configured from its HTML interface, which requires that CSAdmin be running. CSAdmin is a multithreaded application allowing multiple administrators to access it at the same time. CSAdmin is best for distributed, multiprocessor, and clustered environments.

While starting and stopping the other services from within the Cisco Secure ACS HTML interface is possible, this doesn’t include starting or stopping CSAdmin. If CSAdmin stops abnormally through an external action, Cisco Secure ACS is only accessible from the Windows NT/2000 server on which it’s running. CSAdmin can be started or stopped from the Windows NT/2000 Service menu.
