ACS.

Warning

Do not modify the Registry unless you have enough knowledge and experience
to edit the file without destroying or corrupting crucial data.

CSAdmin is the service that provides the web server for the Cisco Secure ACS
HTML interface. After Cisco Secure ACS is installed, you must configure it from
its HTML interface; therefore, CSAdmin must be running when you configure
Cisco Secure ACS.

Because the Cisco Secure ACS web server uses port 2002 rather than the standard
port 80 usually associated with HTTP traffic, you can use another web server on

interoperability testing with other web servers, but unless a second web server is
configured to use either port 2002 or one of the ports within the range specified
