Configuring Users (ACS and Non-ACS)
Step 1 Cl ick the CiscoWorks link in the upper righthand corner of the Service Monitor home page. A new
window opens.
Step 2 Select Common Services > Server > Reports > Permission Report > Generate Report.
Step 3 Scroll down until you find Cisco Unified Service Monitor.
Configuring Users Using ACS Mode
To use ACS mode for authentication and authorization, Cisco Secure ACS must be installed on your
network and Service Monitor must be registered with Cisco Secure ACS.
Step 1 Verify the AAA mode:
a. Click the CiscoWorks link in the upper righthand corner of the Service Monitor home page. A new
window appears.
b. Select Server > Security > AAA Mode Setup and check which Type radio button is selected: ACS
or Non-ACS.
Step 2 Verify whether Service Monitor is registered with Cisco Secure ACS (if ACS is selected) by logging in
to Cisco Secure ACS.
Step 3 To modify ACS roles, refer to the Cisco Secure ACS online help (on the Cisco Secure ACS server) for
information on modifying roles.
Note If you modify Service Monitor roles using Cisco Secure ACS, your changes will be propagated
to all other instances of Service Monitor that are registered with the same Cisco Secure ACS
server.
Using Service Monitor in ACS Mode
Before performing any tasks that are mentioned here, you must ensure that you have successfully
completed configuring Cisco Secure ACS with Service Monitor. If you have installed Service Monitor
after configuring the CiscoWorks Login Module to the ACS mode, then Service Monitor users are not
granted any permissions. However, the Service Monitor application is registered to Cisco Secure ACS.
Note The System Identity Setup user, defined when you installed Service Monitor, must be added to the Cisco
Secure ACS, and this user must have Network Administrator privilege. For more information, click the
CiscoWorks link in the upper righthand corner of the Service Monitor home page and select Common
Services > Server > Security > Multi-Server Trust Management> System Identity Setup.
CiscoWorks login modules enable you to add new users using a source of authentication other than the
native mechanism (that is, the CiscoWorks Local login module). You can use the Cisco Secure ACS
server for this purpose.
