Cisco Secure ACS HTML Interface
1-32
User Guide for Cisco Secure ACS for Windows Server
78-16592-01
If Cisco Secure ACS is behind a NAT gateway and the URL used to access the
HTML interface specifies Cisco Secure ACS by its hostname, administrative
sessions operate correctly, provided that DNS is functioning correctly on your
network or that computers used to access the HTML interface have a hosts file
entry for Cisco Secure ACS.
If the URL used to access the HTML interface specifies Cisco Secure ACS by its
IP address, you could configure the gateway to forward all connections to port
2002 to Cisco Secure ACS, using the same port. Additionally, all the ports
allowed using the HTTP port allocation feature would have to be similarly
mapped. We have not tested such a configuration and do not recommend
implementing it.
Accessing the HTML Interface
Remote administrative sessions always require that you log in using a valid
administrator name and password, as configured in the Administration Control
section. If the Allow automatic local login check box is cleared on the Sessions
Policy Setup page in the Administration Control section, Cisco Secure ACS
requires a valid administrator name and password for administrative sessions
accessed from a browser on the computer running Cisco Secure ACS.
Before You Begin
Determine whether a supported web browser is installed on the computer you
want to use to access the HTML interface. If not, install a supported web browser
or use a computer that already has a supported web browser installed. 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).
Because the HTML interface uses Java in a few places, the computer running the
browser used to access the HTML interface must have a Java Virtual Machine
available for the use of the browser.
To access the HTML interface, follow these steps:
Step 1 Open a web browser. For a list of supported web browsers, see the Release Notes
for the version of Cisco Secure ACS you are accessing. The most recent revision
to the Release Notes is posted on Cisco.com (http://www.cisco.com).
