Understanding My Workspace

The Cisco Secure ACS web interface is designed to be viewed using Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.x, 8.x, and 9.x and Mozilla Firefox 3.x and 4.x. The web interface not only 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

Using the Web Interface, page 5-3

Importing and Exporting ACS Objects through the Web Interface, page 5-18

Common Errors, page 5-25

Accessibility, page 5-27

Welcome Page

to information.
