reports. For example, in User Setup you can show all usernames that start

letter is displayed in this section. The usernames are hyperlinks to the

user.

have typed in incorrect or incomplete data. For example, if the
information you entered in the Password box does not match the
information in the Confirm Password box in the User Setup section,
Cisco Secure ACS displays an error message here. The incorrect
information remains in the configuration area so that you can retype and
resubmit the information correctly.
