Chapter 1 Overview
Cisco Secure ACS HTML Interface
Administrative sessions timeout after a configurable length of idle time.
Regardless, we recommend that you log out of the HTML interface after each
session. For information about logging out of Cisco Secure ACS, see
Logging Off
the HTML Interface, page 1-33 . For information about configuring the idle
timeout feature, see Access Policy, page 12-11 .
You can enable secure socket layer (SSL) for administrative sessions. This
ensures that all communication between the web browser and Cisco Secure ACS
is encrypted. Your browser must support SSL. You can enable this feature on the
Access Policy Setup page in the Administration Control section. For more
information about enabling SSL for HTML interface security, see
Access Policy,
page 12-11 .
