Chapter 6. Getting Familiar with CSACS

In this chapter, you learn the following topics:

  • Navigating the HTML interface

  • Starting point for configuring your server

  • Locating configuration items

  • Preparing to add users

If you recall during the installation process of Access Control Server (ACS), you were given the opportunity to enable advanced configuration options by enabling a check box. As I look back to my first install and navigation of ACS, this spot is where I thought to myself, "I'll get to it later."

As it turns out, I should have gotten to it sooner because by enabling those check boxes, more configuration items are visible in the HTML interface. For example, when I attempted to configure some authorization parameters, the options were not visible, and I spent a good hour or better trying to figure out what I did.

In this chapter, you familiarize yourself with the interface of ACS and apply some basic configuration to make your job as an administrator a little bit easier.

NOTE

I assume throughout the course of this chapter that you have followed the install of ACS according to the laboratory example in Chapter 5, "Deploying Cisco Secure Access Control Server for Windows Server." If you are using a Cisco Secure Solution Engine, you might have some slight differences. All in all, the HTML interface of the Cisco Secure Solution Engine and the software version of ACS for Windows Server should be close to identical.
