Configuring the Identity Firewall
Note Before running the AD Agent Installer, you must install the following patches on every Microsoft Active
Directory server that the AD Agent monitors. These patches are required even when the AD Agent is
installed directly on the domain controller server. See the README First for the Cisco Active Directory
Agent.
