cisco acs TACAS server

Hey guys

I work in a NOC and we have 2 ACS TACAS servers. I was asked to read up on this since they want me to be in charge of them. Currently they are having synchronization issues. I am not familiar with these devices at all and have never worked on them. Can somebody point me to some good documentation and study materials?

Thanks

The CCNA Security cert covers it pretty well from what i can tell.

Amazon.com: Implementing Cisco IOS Network Security (IINS): (CCNA Security exam 640-553) (Authorized Self-Study Guide) (978158705815

: Catherine Paquet: Books

Your best bet will be these documents from cisco

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_server_for_windows/4.2/configuration/guide/overview.html

Configuration Guide for Cisco Secure ACS 4.1 - Cisco Systems

Goodluck.

Thank you for the links

To be honest, when I was studying for the CCNA Security I didn't get a lot of coverage on ACS, although I recall some references about RADIUS and TACACS+. I've used ACS to a minor degree for years now (although primarily for RADIUS), but from my impression when reading through Catherine Paquet's book it doesn't really dig deep into the subject. I think you're better off with the linked configuration guide.

I second that.

After going through Catherine's book I can tell that it only gives a basic knowledge about ACS, how to set it up via Windows, configuring different views and some really basic cli commands.
