Cisco Secure ACS

Internal Architecture

Cisco Secure Access Control Server for Windows NT/2000 Servers Version 3.0
(Cisco Secure ACS) is designed to be modular and flexible to fit the needs of both
simple and large networks. This chapter describes the CiscoSecure ACS
architectural components. Cisco Secure ACS includes the following service
modules:
•CSAdmin
•CSAuth
•CSDBSync
•CSLog
•CSMon
•CSTacacs
•CSRadius
Each module can be started and stopped individually from within the Microsoft
Service Control Panel or as a group from within the CiscoSecure ACS HTML
interface. Each module can operate independently, but this limits functionality.
