Page 37 Windows server it is installed upon, your network topology and network management, the selection of user databases, and other factors. For example, Cisco Secure ACS can perform many more authentications per second if it is using its internal user database and running on a 2.1-GHz Pentium IV server on a 1 GB Ethernet backbone than it can if it is using an external user database and running on a 550-MHz Pentium III server on a 10 MB LAN.
Page 38 If your network has several thousand AAA clients, we recommend using multiple Cisco Secure ACSes and assigning no more than 5000 AAA clients to each Cisco Secure ACS. For example, if you have 20,000 AAA clients, you could use four Cisco Secure ACSes and divide the AAA client load among them so that no single Cisco Secure ACS manages more than 5000 AAA client configurations.
Page 39 Cisco Secure ACS verifies the username and password using the user databases it is configured to query. Cisco Secure ACS returns a success or failure response to the AAA client, which permits or denies user access, based on the response it receives.

• Nortel Cisco Secure ACS also supports up to 10 RADIUS VSAs that you define. After you define a new RADIUS VSA, you can use it as you would one of the RADIUS VSAs that come predefined in Cisco Secure ACS. In the Network Configuration section of the Cisco Secure ACS HTML interface, you can configure a AAA client to use a user-defined RADIUS VSA as its AAA protocol.
Page 42: Authentication Considerations
Network administrators who offer increased levels of security services, and corporations that want to lessen the chance of intruder access resulting from password capturing, can use an OTP. Cisco Secure ACS supports several types of OTP solutions, including PAP for Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) remote-node login.

Page 47 External user database authentication—For authentication by an external • user database, the user does not need a password stored in the CiscoSecure user database. Instead, Cisco Secure ACS records which external user database it should query to authenticate the user. Advanced Password Configurations Cisco Secure ACS supports the following advanced password configurations: Inbound passwords—Passwords used by most Cisco Secure ACS users.
Page 48 Password Aging With Cisco Secure ACS you can choose whether and how you want to employ password aging. Control for password aging may reside either in the CiscoSecure user database, or in a Windows NT/2000 user database. Each password aging mechanism differs as to requirements and setting configurations.

Page 54: Accounting
AAA clients use the accounting functions provided by the RADIUS and TACACS+ protocols to communicate relevant data for each user session to the AAA server for recording. Cisco Secure ACS writes accounting records to a comma-separated value (CSV) log file or ODBC database, depending upon your configuration.
Page 55: Administration
We do not recommend that you administer Cisco Secure ACS through a firewall. Doing so requires that you configure the firewall to permit HTTP traffic over the range of HTTP administrative session ports that Cisco Secure ACS uses.
Page 56: Network Device Groups
Using NDGs enables an organization with a large number of AAA clients spread across a large geographical area to logically organize its environment within Cisco Secure ACS to reflect the physical setup. For example, all routers in Europe could belong to a group named Europe; all routers in the United States could belong to a US group;...

Page 71: Basic Deployment Factors For Cisco Secure Acs
Basic Deployment Factors for Cisco Secure ACS Basic Deployment Factors for Cisco Secure ACS Generally, the ease in deploying Cisco Secure ACS is directly related to the complexity of the implementation planned and the degree to which you have defined your policies and requirements. This section presents some basic factors you should consider before you begin implementing Cisco Secure ACS.
Page 72 Figure 2-2 shows an example of a large dial-in arrangement. In this scenario the addition of a backup Cisco Secure ACS is a recommended addition. User Guide for Cisco Secure ACS for Windows Server 78-14696-01, Version 3.1...
Page 73 If network latency is not an issue, a central Cisco Secure ACS may work but connection reliability over long distances may cause problems. In this case, local Cisco Secure ACSes may be preferable to a central Cisco Secure ACS.
Page 74: Wireless Network
Wireless Network The wireless network access point is a relatively new client for AAA services. The wireless access point (AP), such as the Cisco Aironet series, provides a bridged connection for mobile end-user clients into the LAN. Authentication is absolutely necessary due to the ease of access to the AP. Encryption is also necessary because of the ease of eavesdropping on communications.
Page 75 APs on the same LAN, they may be distributed throughout the LAN, connected via routers, switches, and so on. In the larger, geographical distribution of WLANs, deployment of Cisco Secure ACS is similar to that of large regional distribution of dial-up LANs (Figure 2-3).
Page 76 WLAN shown in Figure 2-4. This model may apply to a chain of small stores distributed throughout a city or state, nationally, or globally (Figure 2-6). User Guide for Cisco Secure ACS for Windows Server 2-10 78-14696-01, Version 3.1...
Page 77: Remote Access Using Vpn
AP, or whether users require only regional or local network access. Along with database type, these factors control whether local or regional Cisco Secure ACSes are required, and how database continuity is maintained. In this very large deployment model, security becomes a more complicated issue, too.
Page 78 IPSec tunneling protocol. Remote Access VPNs, however, are similar to classic remote connection technology (modem/ISDN) and lend themselves to using the AAA model effectively (Figure 2-8). User Guide for Cisco Secure ACS for Windows Server 2-12 78-14696-01, Version 3.1...
Page 79: Remote Access Policy
ISDN or public switched telephone network (PSTN). Such policies are enforced at the corporate campus with Cisco Secure ACS and the AAA client. Inside the enterprise network, remote access policies can control wireless access by individual employees.
Page 80: Security Policy
IDs, passwords, and privileges. Cisco Secure ACS access policies can be downloaded in the form of ACLs to network access servers such as the Cisco AS5300 Network Access Server, or by allowing access during specific periods, or on specific access servers.
Page 81 The type of access is also an important consideration. If there are to be different administrative access levels to the AAA clients, or if a subset of administrators is to be limited to certain systems, Cisco Secure ACS can be used with command authorization per network device to restrict network administrators as necessary.
Page 82: Separation Of Administrative And General Users
RADIUS for the general remote access user and TACACS+ for the administrative user. An issue that arises is that an administrator may also require remote network access, like the general user. If you use Cisco Secure ACS this poses no problem. The administrator can have both RADIUS and TACACS+ configurations in Cisco Secure ACS.
Page 83: Database
Aside from topological considerations, the user database is one of the most influential factors involved in making deployment decisions for Cisco Secure ACS. The size of the user base, distribution of users throughout the network, access requirements, and type of user database contribute to how Cisco Secure ACS is deployed.
Page 84: Network Latency And Reliability
LAN, the loss of WAN connection to a remote Cisco Secure ACS could be catastrophic. The same issue can be applied to an external database used by Cisco Secure ACS. The database should be deployed close enough to Cisco Secure ACS to ensure reliable and timely access.

Page 478: C H A P T E R 12 Administering External User Databases
Administering External User Databases Unknown User Processing The Unknown User feature enables Cisco Secure ACS to use a variety of external databases in addition to its own internal database to authenticate incoming user requests. With this feature, Cisco Secure ACS provides the foundation for a basic single sign-on capability by integrating network and host-level access control.
Page 479: General Authentication Request Handling And Rejection Mode
If you have configured the Unknown User Policy in Cisco Secure ACS, Cisco Secure ACS attempts to authenticate users as follows: Cisco Secure ACS checks its internal user database. If the user exists in the CiscoSecure user database (that is, is a known or discovered user), Cisco Secure ACS tries to authenticate the user with the specified password type against the specified database.
Page 480: Authentication Request Handling And Rejection Mode With The Windows Nt/2000 User Database
Because usernames in the CiscoSecure user database must be unique, Cisco Secure ACS supports a single instance of any given username across all the databases it is configured to use. For example, assume every external user database contains a user account with the username John.
Page 481: Windows Authentication With A Domain Specified
Windows Authentication with a Domain Specified When a domain name is supplied as part of a authentication request, Cisco Secure ACS detects that a domain name was supplied and tries the authentication credentials against the specified domain. The dial-up networking clients provided with various Windows versions differ in the method by which users can specify their domains.

Page 483: Performance Of Unknown User Authentication
At best, the time needed for each authentication is the time taken by the external database to authenticate, plus some latency for Cisco Secure ACS processing. In some circumstances (for example, when using a Windows NT/2000 user database), the extra latency introduced by an external database can be as much as tens of seconds.
Page 484: Network Access Authorization
Administering External User Databases Unknown User Processing The default AAA client timeout value is 5 seconds. If you have Cisco Secure ACS configured to search through several databases or if your databases are large, you might need to increase this value in your AAA client configuration file.
