Overview of ACS Remote Agent for
Windows
ACS Remote
Agent for Windows is an application that integrates
Cisco
Secure ACS Solution Engine (ACS SE) with Windows Active
Directory.
Because an
ACS SE cannot be a member of a Microsoft Windows domain, you
must install the remote agent for the authentication. When a
windows domain user logon the network, ACS forward all
accounting data to the remote agent installed in windows domain
environment.
Note: 1.
ACS Remote Agent
supports only ACS SE—ACS for Windows is not supported.
2. A
single ACS Remote is limited to serve five concurrent connecting
Appliances.
