About this title

Synopsis

Secure your network for remote access with the only guide to the Cisco Secure Access Control Server

• Improve security for network users connecting from home or remote offices
• Build safer, more secure and accessible telecommuter networks
• Master AAA (authentication, authorization, and account) management for users connecting from unsecured sites into the secure corporate network
• Review deployment and management strategies for the Cisco Secure ACS product line

With evolving network infrastructures, it is increasingly important that access to vital corporate resources are vigilantly monitored and controlled. Cisco's identity management solutions, including Cisco Secure Access Control Server (CSACS), address this trend, enabling security, control, and administration of the growing population of users that connect to the network.

Cisco Access Control Security: AAA Administration Services examines the concepts and configuration of the Cisco Secure ACS. You will learn how to configure a network access server to authenticate, authorize, and account for individual network users that telecommute from an unsecured site into the secure corporate network. The book begins with an overview of AAA, TACACS+, and Radius protocols. A discussion of authentication on Cisco routers follows this overview.

Each chapter includes the background of particular administration tasks for the various components of the software, followed by examples of the device configuration and possible issues that may arise. Examples will be given from the most basic user configuration to more advanced features of the product, and common configuration errors will be discussed, along with troubleshooting advice. Cisco Access Registrar installation and use is also covered for service provider implementations.
