Cisco Secure ACS and TACACS+ and RADIUS Technologies Review
The CiscoSecure Access Control Server (ACS) is a server-based application offering centralized user access control support for the various network devices. CiscoSecure ACS can be installed on either Windows or UNIX servers that meet minimum resource requirements.
ACS allows the administrator to manage user access for Cisco IOS routers, firewalls, Cisco Catalyst switches, and virtual private networks (VPNs), as well as newer technologies like dial-up and broadband DSL, cable access solutions, voice over IP (VoIP), Cisco wireless implementations, and third-party vendor TACACS+ offerings.
ACS is a strategic product at Cisco, incorporating new advanced features as they become available to increase the diversity and granularity of implementations. Current support includes the use of network OS security databases and management tools, user and administrative access reporting, database synchronization and user importation tools, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) user authentication support, dynamic quota generation, and restrictions such as time of day and day of week, as well as user and device group profiles.
