This section describes the following tasks:

•Install and Set Up an ACS Security Certificate, page 9-5

•Set Up Global Configuration, page 9-8

Install and Set Up an ACS Security Certificate

You must configure ACS with a digital certificate for establishing client trust when ACS challenges the client for its credentials. Note these points:

•For authenticated in-band Protected Access Credential (PAC) provisioning for EAP-FAST, the client must have a certificate that matches the one installed in ACS.

•For the most scalable NAC environments, Cisco recommends a production public key infrastructure (PKI) that the production certificate authority (CA) or registration authorities (RAs) sign.

This section describes a simplified procedure for the ACS for Windows platform. For detailed information on installing certificates and for information on how to install certificates on the Cisco Secure ACS Solution Engine platform, see Chapter 9 of the User Guide for Cisco Secure ACS 4.2, “Advanced Configuration: Authentication and Certificates.”
