This document details the role, limitations, and known issues for Cisco Context Directory Agent version 1.0, including installation notes and bug fixes…
The Cisco Context Directory Agent (CDA) is a software component that maps IP addresses to usernames on Cisco Linux computers running Active Directory domain controllers. It enables security gateways like ASA-CX and WSA to make access decisions based on user context rather than just IP addresses. Starting with Patch 2, CDA can also receive login information from Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and ACS for users not directly logged into the domain. This manual is written in Chinese.
