The Cisco Secure ACS HTML interface is designed to be viewed using a web
browser. The design primarily uses HTML, along with some Java functions, to
enhance ease of use. This design keeps the interface responsive and
straightforward. The inclusion of Java requires that the browser used for
administrative sessions supports Java. 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).
The HTML interface not only makes viewing and editing user and group
information possible, it also enables you to restart services, add remote
administrators, change AAA client information, back up the system, view reports
from anywhere on the network, and more. The reports track connection activity,
show which users are logged in, list the failed authentication and authorization
attempts, and show administrators' recent tasks.
The HTML interface has three vertical partitions, known as frames:
Navigation Bar—The gray frame on the left of the browser window, the
•
navigation bar contains the task buttons. Each button changes the
configuration area (see below) to a unique section of the Cisco Secure ACS
application, such as the User Setup section or the Interface Configuration
section. This frame does not change; it always contains the following buttons:
