Cisco Secure ACS HTML Interface

Cisco Secure ACS 3.0 for Windows 2000/NT Servers User Guide
78-13751-01, Version 3.0
The Cisco Secure ACS HTML interface is designed to be viewed using a web 
browser. The design primarily uses HTML, along with some Java functions, to 
enhance ease of use. This design keeps the interface responsive and 
straightforward. The inclusion of Java requires that the browser used for 
administrative sessions supports Java. For a list of supported browsers, see the 
Release Notes. The latest revision to the Release Notes is posted on Cisco.com 
(http://www.cisco.com).
The HTML interface not only makes viewing and editing user and group 
information possible, it also enables you to restart services, add remote 
administrators, change AAA client information, back up the system, view reports 
from anywhere on the network, and more. The reports track connection activity, 
show which users are logged in, list the failed authentication and authorization 
attempts, and show administrators’ recent tasks.
HTML Interface Layout
The HTML interface has three vertical partitions, known as frames:
Navigation Bar—The gray frame on the left of the browser window, the 
navigation bar contains the task buttons. Each button changes the 
configuration area (see below) to a unique section of the Cisco Secure ACS 
application, such as the User Setup section or the Interface Configuration 
section. This frame does not change; it always contains the following buttons:
User Setup—Add and edit user profiles
Group Setup—Configure network services and protocols for groups of 
users
Shared Profile Components—Add and edit network access restriction 
and command authorization sets, to be applied to users and groups
 Network Configuration—Add and edit network access devices and 
configure distributed systems
 System Configuration—Configure database information and 
accounting 
Interface Configuration—Display or hide product features and options 
to be configured
Administration Control—Define and configure access policies
