John,

The startup screen that you are seeing is just Cisco's way of making
sure you meet the preqs for the software installation for the AAA
server.

See all my answers to your questions inline.

Subject: ACS for Windows

Hello Team,
I have the following question, I am setting up a Cisco ACS server. And
there
are a couple of tasks that the installation is asking me to perform
before I
continue the installation:

End user clients can successfully connect to AAA clients?

        End User Clients can successfully get connected to the routers,
pix, vpn and/or aironet devices, etc to make the initial connection to
start with. Basically testing connecting from the end user devices to
the remote device.

This Windows Server can ping the AAA clients?

        This is just verifying the ip connectivity from the AAA Server
(windows server) to the AAA clients which is exactly what you thought -
the routers, pix, vpn and/or aironet devices. You are making sure the
AAA server and AAA client can see each other on the ip network.

Any Cisco IOS AAA clients are running Cisco IOS release 11.1 or later?
        
        This is a requirement for the Cisco routers in order to be able
to support AAA, the routers must be running IOS code 11.1 or higher.

Microsoft Internet Explorer v6.0 SP 1 is installed?

        This is a preq in order to be able to run the GUI interface for
the AAA Server software.

 

I do have the Microsoft Internet Explorer v6.0 SP 1 as far as being able
to connect to AAA clients, I am assuming in this case the AAA clients
are the devices where AAA is configured, just wanted to confirm this
before I move on the installation.

If anyone has experience with Cisco ACS for Windows please contact me
offline to discuss.
Sincerely,
John
