As network infrastructures evolve, it isincreasingly important that access to vital corporate resources isvigilantly monitored and controlled. The Cisco identity managementsolutions, including Cisco Secure Access Control Server (CSACS),address this requirement, enabling security, control, andadministration of the growing population of users that connect tocorporate networks. CSACS, an essential component of the Cisco IdentityBased Networking Services (IBNS) architecture, extends access securityby combining authentication, user and administrator access, and policycontrol from a centralized identity-networking framework. This allowsgreater flexibility and mobility, increased security, and userproductivity gains.
Cisco Access Control Securityprovides you with the skills needed to configure authentication,authorization, and accounting (AAA) services on Cisco devices.Separated into three parts, this book presents hard-to-findconfiguration details of centralized identity networking solutions.Part I provides an overview of the AAA architecture, complete withdiscussions of configuring Cisco routers for AAA. Part II addressesenterprise AAA management with CSACS, including installation,configuration, and management details. Part III looks at serviceprovider AAA management with Cisco Access Registrar.
Full of detailed overviews, diagrams, and step-by-step instructions for enabling essential access control solutions, Cisco Access Control Security is a practical tool that can help enforce assigned access policies and simplify user management.
“This book manages the rare combination of beinghighly accurate and technically astute, while maintaining an easyreadability and flow. It is a great guide for system administratorslooking to design or manage a reliable, scalable, and secure AccessControl deployment for any size organization.”
