The following network requirements should be in place before
you begin to install Cisco Secure ACS:
-
A web browser meeting the previous third-party software
requirements must be properly installed on any Windows server to be used to
administer Cisco Secure ACS.
-
For full TACACS+ and RADIUS support on any Cisco IOS
devices, make sure the AAA clients are running Cisco IOS Release 11.2 or
later.
-
Make sure any non-Cisco IOS AAA clients can be configured
with TACACS+ or RADIUS support, or both.
-
Make sure the Windows server can ping the AAA clients.
-
For Cisco Secure ACS to use the Grant Dial-In Permission To
User feature when authorizing Windows network users, this option must be
selected in the Windows NT User Manager or Windows 2000 Active Directory Users
And Computers for the applicable user accounts.
-
Make sure all network cards in the server that will host the
Cisco Secure ACS software are enabled. Disabled NICs will slow installation
because of delays caused by Microsoft CryptoAPI.
-
Make sure any dial-in, VPN, or wireless clients can
successfully connect to the applicable AAA clients.
