Product Description
Cisco's complete, authoritative guide to Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) solutions with CiscoSecure ACS
This is the first complete, authoritative, single-source guide to implementing, configuring, and managing Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) identity management with CiscoSecure Access Control Server (ACS) 4 and 5. Written by three of Cisco's most experienced CiscoSecure product support experts, it covers all AAA solutions (except NAC) on Cisco routers, switches, access points, firewalls, and concentrators. It also thoroughly addresses both ACS configuration and troubleshooting, including the use of external databases supported by ACS. Each of this book's six sections focuses on specific Cisco devices and their AAA configuration with ACS. Each chapter covers configuration syntax and examples, debug outputs with explanations, and ACS screenshots. Drawing on the authors' experience with several thousand support cases in organizations of all kinds, AAA Identity Management Security presents pitfalls, warnings, and tips throughout. Each major topic concludes with a practical, hands-on lab scenario corresponding to a real-life solution that has been widely implemented by Cisco customers. This book brings together crucial information that was previously scattered across multiple sources. It will be indispensable to every professional running CiscoSecure ACS 4 or 5, as well as all candidates for CCSP and CCIE (Security or R and S) certification.
Good Book If You Are a CISCO House,
This review is from: AAA Identity Management Security (Networking Technology: Security) (Paperback)
I obtained AAA Identity Management Security at the Sonoran Desert Security Users Group (SDSUG) meeting. The book addresses the two major versions of the CISCO Access Control Server (ACS) platform, 4.x and 5.x and primarily focuses on how to implement, configure, and manage AAA identity management with CiscoSecure ACS 4.X and 5.X. It also covers how ACS integrates with various security solutions such as Identity Stores, VPN, NAS for 802.1X, and Cisco ASA/PIX.The book explains everything with real, practical examples, beginning with basic AAA concepts to advance concepts on ACS 4.x & 5.X. It provides a mixture of scenarios and configuration examples. The book is a nice reference on how on to tie up all the elements of AAA on the various Cisco Devices. PROS: If you are a CISCO house, then this is an excellent book. It focuses on specific Cisco devices (e.g. routers, switches, access points, firewalls) and their AAA configuration with ACS. Each section provides... Read more

This review is from: AAA Identity Management Security (Networking Technology: Security) (Paperback)
The authors explain how Cisco has enabled this latest version of network identity security. The AAA refers to the 3 fundamental issues of authentication, authorisation and accounting [logging]. If you keep these ideas in focus, then it greatly simplifies the reading of the details in the book. The Access Control Server is the firmware via which you administer and deal with AAA.ACS covers the important topic of handling LDAP. While this is meant to be 'lightweight', the details of understanding and managing an LDAP database can still be quite involved. The GUI-driven interface in ACS guides the sysop in giving the various possible administrative options, along with online help. Perhaps far easier than a command line interface. Note however that while the book's subtitle mentions ACS, the book is not strictly confined to that. Chapter 8 on IOS switches explains at length how those can be used to handle 802.1X and the Extensible Authentication Protocol [EAP]. ACS... Read more |
