Understanding My Workspace
The Cisco Secure ACS web interface is designed to be viewed using Microsoft I nternet Explorer
versions 6.x to 9.x and Mozilla Firefox versions 3.x to 10.x. The web interface not o nly makes viewing
and administering ACS possible, but it also allows you to monitor and report on any event in the network.
These reports track connection activity, show which users are currently logged in, list the failed
authentication and authorization attempts, and so on.
The My Workspace drawer contains:
•Welcome Page, page 5-1
•Task Guides, page 5-2
•My Account Page, page 5-2
•Login Banner, page 5-3
