How to Best Use This Chapter This chapter covers the communications between the Cisco PIX Firewall and the Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS). You will learn how to configure the PIX Firewall to work with an AAA server and how to configure the Cisco Secure ACS to work with the PIX Firewall. The configurations for authentication, authorization, and accounting are very similar and should be relatively simple to remember. Quite a few commands and options are available for configuring each AAA component, but each command and option is used for nearly every component. Cisco Secure ACS is a simple GUI package that includes online help. You need to become familiar with the tabs on the navigation bar and how the different configurations interact. |
