Requirements to Run ACS Version 3.2


There are many software requirements for running ACS. The first is that a supported browser must be installed on the system from which you are going to manage ACS. ACS was tested with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0.

NOTE

I personally use Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 with no known issues.


ACS has also been tested with Netscape Communicator 6.2. It is important to understand that regardless of which browser you choose, you must have both Java and JavaScript enabled.

The second software requirement is an English-language version of Windows 2000 Server, with Service Pack 1 or 2 installed. Also, note that Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Windows 2000 Datacenter Server are not supported in ACS version 3.2.

NOTE

There is no discussion of the UNIX version of ACS in this book as it has been deemed end of life by Cisco. Additionally, CiscoSecure for UNIX is a completely different product that shares only the commonality of being an AAA server and is therefore out of the scope of this book.


The following hardware requirements are the minimum for running Cisco Secure ACS version 3.2:

  • Pentium III processor, 550 MHz or faster is recommended as the minimum.

  • 250 MB of free disk space.

  • 256 MB of RAM.

  • A minimum graphics resolution of 256 colors at 800x600 lines is also recommended.

Now, with the preceding requirements met, you are ready to install ACS.
