>From the Perfigo/CCA listserv, specifically a Cisco rep on the list:
Just wanted to let you know that maintenance release 3.5.8 was made available
today. The release notes are available at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6128/prod_release_note09186a0080472be9.html.
The key points in the release are:
* Additional functions in the API (cisco_api.jsp) to add/delete/list local
users.
* Single-sign-on (SSO) with Airespace Wireless Controllers
* Added Out-of-band support for Catalyst 4000
Also, the following bugs were fixed in this release - CSCsc18842, CSCsc47594,
CSCsc46335, CSCsc46051.
With the addition of Cisco VPN Concentrator support in ver. 3.5.3 (and beyond),
we allowed the use of RADIUS Accounting information from Cisco VPN concentrators
(generated when users authenticated and VPN connection was successfully
established and similar traffic when users disconnected) to be used by CCA for
authenitcating the users. i.e. Users did not then have to login again via
either the web page or the agent. When they reached that stage, CCA (actually
the CAS) already knew about the user through the RADIUS Accounting information
sent to it by the VPN Concentrator. Hence, SSO...
In release 3.5.8, we have extended that to also cover Airespace Wireless
Controllers. While there is no change in the UI (i.e. if you want to use this,
you still have to add the Airespace Controller as a "VPN Concentrator" - this UI
drawback will be fixed in the near future), the underlying RADIUS listener can
now accept RADIUS Accounting traffic from the Airespace controllers as well.
So, if you login to the controller, you can be automatically logged in to CCA as
well. Hence, SSO...
