Server Security Page
Use the Server Security page to open specific pages in the CiscoWorks Common Services application,
where you can configure various security features on the Security Manager server. CiscoWorks Common
Services controls the basic functions of the Security Manager server, including user access control and
system security.
When you log in to Security Manager, your username and password are compared with the account
information stored in the CiscoWorks or Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) database, depending
on which system you established at installation as your AAA provider. After the authentication of your
credentials, you have access according to the role you have been assigned.
For more information on Security Manager roles and privileges, including descriptions of how Common
Services roles translate to user functions in Security Manager, see the Installation Guide for Cisco
Security Manager.
