Activating the DSM Module on an Existing CiscoSecure ACS 2.3

ActivatingtheDSMModuleonanExistingCiscoSecure ACS 2.3

If you are using the product labeled CiscoSecure ACS Distributed Session Manager Option (CSU-DSM)

to enable the Distributed Session Manager module on an already existing CiscoSecure ACS 2.3 for

UNIX installation, you do not need to run the installation program:

Step 1 Confirm that a Sybase or Oracle RDBMS site has been set up for your CiscoSecure ACSes prior to the

last CiscoSecure ACS installation as described in “Setting Up an Oracle Database for CiscoSecure,”

page xix or in “Setting Up a Sybase Enterprise SQL Server for CiscoSecure,” page xxii.

Step 2 If you have not already done so, follow instructions in the document labeled Requires Immediate

Attention: License Keys for CiscoSecure ACS to obtain the special 28-character software license keys

required to enable the DSM module.

Step 3 From any workstation with a web connection to CiscoSecure ACS, open your web browser and log in to

the CiscoSecure Administrator web site as superuser.

Note If you do not have access to the CiscoSecure Administrator web pages, you can manually edit

the CiscoSecure CSU.cfg file to specify the new software license key. See “Editing CSU.cfg to

Specify a CiscoSecure Software License Key,” page xxxi.

Step 4 Locate the CiscoSecure License Key field in the AAA General web page, enter the special 28-character

software license key, and click Re-Initialize.

Step 5 Locate the Max Sessions Enabled field in the AAA General web page and select the Distributed option

to enable the Distributed Session Manager features on this ACS.

Step 6 Stop and restart CiscoSecure ACS for this setting to take effect:

• Log in as [Root] to the Ultra 1 workstation where you installed CiscoSecure ACS. To stop the ACS

enter:

# /etc/rc0.d/K80CiscoSecure

• To restart CiscoSecure ACS, enter:

# /etc/rc2.d/S80CiscoSecure

Step 7 Confirm that Oracle or Sybase database replication is set up and enabled between your CiscoSecure

database sites. For details, see the chapter “Setting up Database Replication Among

CiscoSecure ACSes” in the CiscoSecure ACS 2.3 for UNIX User Guide.

Step 8 Confirm that AAA accounting functions are enabled on all client NASes. For details, see the

CiscoSecure ACS 2.3 for UNIX User Guide chapter “CiscoSecure ACS Accounting.”
