Configuring Authentication And Accounting Services - Cisco 4700M Configuration Manual

Configuring Authentication and
Accounting Services
This chapter describes how to configure the Cisco 4700 Series Application
Control Engine (ACE) appliance to perform user authentication and accounting
(AAA) services to provide a higher level of security for users accessing the ACE.
The AAA services allow you to use multiple AAA servers to control who can
access the ACE and to track the actions of each user who accesses the ACE. Based
on the username and password combination provided, the ACE performs local
user authentication using the local database or remote user authentication and
accounting using external AAA servers.
