Cisco Secure ACS

This section describes how to configure Service Monitor with Cisco Secure ACS:
•Before You Begin: Integration Notes, page D-1
•Configuring Service Monitor on Cisco Secure ACS, page D-3
•Verifying the Service Monitor and Cisco Secure ACS Configuration, page D-3

Before You Begin: Integration Notes

Note You can integrate Service Monitor with Cisco Secure ACS only if they are installed on separate systems
because Service Monitor must be configured as an AAA client for Cisco Secure ACS.
For information about Common Services login modules and user roles, see Configuring Users (ACS and
Non-ACS), page 2-5.
This section contains the following notes, which you should read before you begin Cisco Secure ACS
and Service Monitor integration:
•Multiple instances of the same application using the same Cisco Secure ACS will share settings. Any
changes will affect all instances of that application.
•If an application is configured with Cisco Secure ACS and then that application is reinstalled, it will
inherit the old settings.
Note This is applicable if you are using Cisco Secure ACS version 3.2.3 or earlier.
•You must create roles in Cisco Secure ACS for each Cisco Unified Communications Management
Suite application that is running on the Service Monitor server.
For example: You must create roles in Cisco Secure ACS for Service Monitor. These roles are not
shared by any other Cisco Unified Communications Management Suite application.
•The roles that you create in Cisco Secure ACS are shared across all Service Monitor servers that are
configured to the same Cisco Secure ACS.
