Cisco Systems OL-11390-01 Creating Self-Signed Security Certificates Yearly, Field, Description

Chapter 11 Administering DFM (Advanced)

System Administration

To create custom roles and privileges, see the Cisco Secure ACS online help. (On Cisco Secure ACS, click Online Documentation > Shared Profile Components > Command Authorization Sets to view the help page.)

Note See the Common Services online help for important information on how ACS custom roles affect the DCR.

Modifying CiscoWorks Roles and Privileges

If another instance of DFM is registered with the same Cisco Secure ACS, your instance of DFM will inherit those role settings. Furthermore, any changes you make to DFM roles will be propagated to other instances of DFM through Cisco Secure ACS. If you reinstall DFM, your Cisco Secure ACS settings will automatically be applied upon DFM restart.

Step 1 Select Shared Profile Components > DFM and click on the DFM roles that you want to modify.

Step 2 Select or deselect any of the DFM tasks that suit your business workflow and needs.

Step 3 Click Submit.

Device-Based Filtering

In ACS, you can create and modify users who can perform certain tasks on certain devices. The devices listed for you are based on your roles defined in CiscoSecure ACS. See User Guide for CiscoSecure ACS for more information.

Creating Self-Signed Security Certificates Yearly

When you install DFM, DFM creates a self-signed security certificate on the server. Users on some client systems must install the certificate; see Responding to Security Alerts, page 2-7. Self-signed security certificates expire one year from the date of creation.

Create a new self-signed security certificate yearly, before the certificate expires. You can also do so after the certificate expires; however, users might not be able to access DFM until you complete this task.

Step 1 From the LMS portal, select Server > Security > Single-Server Management > Certificate Setup. The Create Certificates page appears.

Step 2 Enter the values for the fields described in the following table.

	Field	Description	Usage Notes
	Country Name	Name of your country	Use two-character country code.
