The Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) Solution Engine is a highly scalable, one-rack-unit dedicated platform that serves as a high-performance access control server supporting centralized RADIUS or TACACS+. The Cisco Secure ACS Solution Engine provides a centralized identity networking solution and simplified user management experience across all Cisco devices and security management applications. The solution engine helps to ensure enforcement of assigned policies by allowing network administrators to control: who can log into the network; the privileges each user has in the network; recorded security audit or account billing information; access and command controls that are enabled for each configuration's administrator. The Cisco Secure ACS Solution Engine is a main pillar of Cisco trust and identity networking security solutions. It extends access security by combining authentication, user and administrator access, and policy control from a centralized identity networking framework, allowing greater flexibility and mobility, increased security, and user productivity gains. With the Cisco Secure ACS Solution Engine, you can manage and administer user access for Cisco IOS routers, VPNs, firewalls, dialup and DSL connections, cable access solutions, storage, content, voice over IP (VoIP), Cisco wireless solutions, and Cisco Catalyst switches using IEEE 802.1X access control. This software includes Cisco 1113 hardware platform and Cisco Secure ACS Software 4.1.
