Accessing the HTML Interface
Remote administrative sessions always require that you login using a valid
administrator name and password, as configured in the Administration Control
section. If the Allow automatic local login check box is cleared on the Sessions
Policy Setup page in the Administration Control section, Cisco Secure ACS
requires a valid administrator name and password for administrative sessions
accessed from a browser on the Cisco Secure ACS server.
To access the HTML interface, follow these steps:
Step 1 Open a web browser. For a list of supported web browsers, see the Release Notes
for the version of Cisco Secure ACS you are accessing. The latest revision to the
Release Notes is posted on Cisco.com (http://www.cisco.com).
Step 2 In the Address or Location bar in the web browser, type the applicable URL. For
a list of possible URLs, see the “Uniform Resource Locator for the HTML
Interface” section on page 1-24.
Step 3 If the Cisco Secure ACS for Windows 2000/NT Login page appears, follow these
steps:
a. In the Username box, type a valid Cisco Secure ACS administrator name.
b. In the Password box, type the password for the administrator name you
specified.
c. Click Login.
Result: The Cisco Secure ACS for Windows 2000/NT initial page appears.
Logging Off the HTML Interface
When you are finished using the HTML interface, we recommend that you log off.
While Cisco Secure ACS can timeout unused administrative sessions, logging off
prevents unauthorized access by someone using the browser after you or by
unauthorized persons using the HTTP port left open to support the administrative
session.
To log off the CiscoSecure ACS HTML interface, click the Logoff button.
