Hi RF, as i took the MCNS training, we also discussed CiscoSecureACS for Unix and NT. The Coursebook says strictly that only the sparc architecture of solaris is supported. Thats waht i found on the Cisco Documentation CD: http:// www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_soft/cs_unx/instl23.htm#xtocid158004 CiscoSecure ACS Server Requirements The Cisco Secure ACS (and its optional backup server) requires the following hardware and software: UltraSPARC or compatible workstation To support CiscoSecure ACS without the licensed Distributed Session Manager option: Ultra 1 with a processor speed of 167 MHz or faster ---Minimum 200 MHz if the Oracle or Sybase RDBMS is installed on the same system. To support CiscoSecure ACS with the licensed Distributed Session Manager option: Ultra 1 or faster ---Ultra 10 or faster if the Oracle or Sybase RDBMS is installed on the same system Minimum 256 MB of swap space 128 MB of RAM 256 MB of RAM if the Oracle or Sybase RDBMS is installed on the same system Minimum 256 MB of free disk space (if you are using the supplied SQLAnywhere database) Minimum 2 GB disk space if the Oracle or Sybase RDBMS is installed on the same system CD-ROM drive Greetings Reinhold On Sun, 13 May 2001, RF wrote: > Anybody here ever try to install CiscoSecure ACS on Solaris on an Intel box? > I asked a related question before, when apparently the installation couldn't > find java for some reason, even though java was on the system (and in the > PATH and all that).
