About UCP

UCP is an application that enables users to change their Cisco Secure ACS passwords with a web-based utility. To install UCP, you must have a web server that runs Microsoft IIS 5.0 or 6.0. IIS 5.0 is included with Windows 2000. IIS 6.0 is included with Windows Server 2003.

When users need to change passwords, they can access the UCP web page using a supported web browser. For information about web browsers tested with Cisco Secure ACS, see the release notes for the Cisco Secure ACS product you are using.

The UCP web page requires users to log in. The password required is the PAP password for the user account. UCP authenticates the user with Cisco Secure ACS and then allows the user to specify a new password. UCP changes both the PAP and CHAP passwords for the user to the password submitted.

Communication between UCP and Cisco Secure ACS is protected with 128-bit encryption. To further increase security, we recommend implementing SSL to protect communication between web browsers and UCP.

About SSL

The SSL protocol provides security for remote access data transfer between the UCP web server and the user's web browser. Because users change their Cisco Secure ACS database passwords over a connection between their web browsers and Microsoft IIS, user and password data is vulnerable. The SSL protocol encrypts data transfers, including passwords, between web browsers and Microsoft IIS.

SSL requires Microsoft IIS to present valid certificate credentials. You must obtain a certificate from a certificate authority. If you use a public certificate authority, the certificate authority assigns your keys for a fee, provided you comply with certain requirements.

Installing UCP

This section contains information and procedures for installing UCP.

This section contains the following topics:

•Preparing the Web Server

•Preparing Cisco Secure ACS for UCP

•Enabling SSL on the Web Server

•Installing UCP Software

•Determining the UCP URL

Preparing the Web Server

Preparing the web server consists of creating virtual directories on the web server. These virtual directories correspond to the file system directories where the UCP setup program will place HTML files and CGI executable files.

To prepare for UCPs, follow these steps:

Step 1 Make sure the web server uses Microsoft IIS 5.0 or 6.0. IIS 5.0 is included with Windows 2000. IIS 6.0 is included with Windows Server 2003.

Step 2 In the file system directory that the web server uses as its home directory, create the following two directories:

•secure—This directory will contain the HTML files used by UCP. You can use a name different from secure. You will use the name you choose later in Step 3 of this procedure and twice more in Installing UCP Software.

•securecgi-bin—This directory will contain the executable CGI files used by UCP. You can use a name different from securecgi-bin. You will use the name you choose in Step 4 of this procedure and twice more in Installing UCP Software.

For example, if the home directory of the web server is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot, use My Computer to add the directories to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot.

Tip To determine the home directory, see the properties of the Default Web Site for Microsoft IIS.

Step 3 In Microsoft IIS, add a virtual directory for the HTML files used by UCP. Use the following information when you create the virtual directory:

•Virtual Directory Alias—A name for the virtual directory, which corresponds to the secure directory created in Step 2. We recommend that you use secure. This alias will be a component in the URL used to access UCP, so a short but descriptive alias could help users remember the URL.

•Web Site Content Directory—The directory specified must match the secure directory created in Step 2. The default directory from Step 2 is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\secure.

•Access Permissions—Give this virtual directory read permissions. No other permissions are necessary.

For information about creating virtual directories, see Microsoft documentation for the version of IIS you are using.

Step 4 Add a virtual directory for the CGI executable files used by UCP. Use the following information when you create the virtual directory:

•Virtual Directory Alias—A name for the virtual directory, which corresponds to the securecgi-bin directory created in Step 2. We recommend that you use securecgi-bin.

•Web Site Content Directory—The directory specified must match the securecgi-bin directory created in Step 2. The default directory from Step 2 is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\securecgi-bin.

•Access Permissions—Give this virtual directory read and execute permissions. No other permissions are necessary.

For information about creating virtual directories, see Microsoft documentation for the version of IIS you are using.

Step 5 If the web server runs IIS 6.0, you must configure IIS to allow unknown CGI extensions. To do so, use the Web Service Extension page in the IIS Manager window and set the status of Allow Unknown CGI Extensions to "Allowed".

Step 6 If you use the IIS Lockdown Tool to help secure your Microsoft IIS 5.0 web server, be sure that the Lockdown Tool allows executable files to run. If its executable files cannot run, UCP fails and users cannot change passwords.

Preparing Cisco Secure ACS for UCP

Preparing for Cisco Secure ACS consists of configuring Cisco Secure ACS to recognize the web server as a type of AAA server. This enables Cisco Secure ACS to recognize and respond to user password changes from UCP on the web server. Without this configuration, Cisco Secure ACS ignores user password change requests from UCP.

Note If Cisco Secure ACS and Microsoft IIS software run on the same computer, you do not need to perform these steps. Proceed to Enabling SSL on the Web Server.

To prepare for UCPs, follow these steps:

Step 1 Log in to the HTML interface of the Cisco Secure ACS that you want UCP to send user password changes to.

Note If you are using the CiscoSecure Database Replication feature, the Cisco Secure ACS that UCP sends user password changes to should be a primary Cisco Secure ACS; otherwise, if the user database is replicated, user password changes are overwritten by the older information from the primary Cisco Secure ACS.

Step 2 Click Interface Configuration, and then click Advanced Options.

The Advanced Options page appears.

Step 3 Make sure the Distributed Systems Settings check box is selected. This enables the AAA Servers table to appear in the Network Configurations section.

Step 4 Click Submit.

Step 5 Click Network Configuration.

Step 6 If network device groups (NDGs) are enabled, click the NDG that you want to add the UCP web server to.

Step 7 In the AAA Servers table, click Add Entry.

Step 8 In the AAA Server Name box, type the name you want to give to the UCP web server. We recommend using the web server hostname; however, you can include additional useful information, such as "UCP" to readily identify the UCP web server. For example, if the web server hostname is "wwwin", you could type "UCP-wwwin" in the AAA Server Name box.

Step 9 In the AAA Server IP Address box, type the IP address of the UCP web server. Use dotted decimal format.

Note The other settings on the Add AAA Server page are irrelevant to proper functioning of UCP.

Step 10 Click Submit + Restart.

Cisco Secure ACS is configured to recognize and respond to password change information from the web server you plan to install UCP on.

Enabling SSL on the Web Server

This procedure contains information about using secure socket layer (SSL) to encrypt communication between a user's web browser and the Microsoft IIS running UCP.

Note We recommend enabling SSL. If, without exception, every user always accesses UCP from within a secure perimeter, SSL may not be necessary; otherwise, it is a worthwhile precaution to enable SSL so that UCP traffic between a user's web browser and the web server running UCP is encrypted.

To enable optional SSL security on the web server, follow these steps:

Step 1 Obtain a certificate from a certificate authority.

Step 2 After you have received your certificate from the certificate authority, install the certificate on your web server. For information about installing a certificate, see Microsoft documentation for the version of IIS that you are using.

Step 3 Following your Microsoft IIS documentation, activate SSL security on the web server.

Keep in mind the following points when enabling SSL security:

•You can enable SSL security on the root of your web site or on one or more virtual directories.

•After SSL is enabled and properly configured, only SSL-enabled clients can communicate with the SSL-enabled WWW directories.

•URLs that point to documents on an SSL-enabled WWW folder must use https instead of http in the URL. Links that use http in the URL do not work on a secure directory.

Installing UCP Software

Before You Begin

Be sure you have completed the steps in these sections:

•Preparing the Web Server

•Preparing Cisco Secure ACS for UCP

If you intend to implement SSL, be sure you have read Enabling SSL on the Web Server and completed the procedure it contains.

You will need the Cisco Secure ACS CD to complete this procedure.

To install the User-Changeable Password software, follow these steps:

Step 1 At the web server that you want to install UCP on, log in as the local administrator.

Step 2 Insert the Cisco Secure ACS CD in a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive on the web server.

Tip If autorun opens a setup window for Cisco Secure ACS, click Cancel.

Step 3 Use Windows Explorer to open the UCP subdirectory on the Cisco Secure ACS CD.

Step 4 Double-click the UCP SETUP.EXE file.

The Before You Begin dialog box appears.

Step 5 Select the check boxes for all items, and then click Next.

The Choose Destination Location dialog box displays a default directory for HTML files used by UCP.

Step 6 Specify the full path of the secure directory that you created in Preparing the Web Server. If you chose secure as the directory name and C:\Inetpub\wwwroot is the home directory of the web server, you can accept the default location.

Step 7 Click Next.

A second Choose Destination Location dialog box displays a default directory for the CGI executable files used by UCP.

Step 8 Specify the full path of the securecgi-bin directory that you created in Preparing the Web Server. If you chose securecgi-bin as the directory name and C:\Inetpub\wwwroot is the home directory of the web server, you can accept the default location.

Step 9 Click Next.

The Enter Information dialog box displays the default URL for the HTML virtual directory, using the web server's IP address.

Step 10 Specify the URL for the HTML virtual directory, following these guidelines:

•If you are not using SSL and you chose to use secure as the virtual directory alias for the UCP HTML directory, you can accept the default value.

•If you are using SSL, change the beginning of the URL from "http" to "https". The letter "s" is required after "http"; otherwise, communication between users and UCP will not be SSL-encrypted.

•If you chose a name different from secure as the virtual directory alias for the UCP HTML directory, change "secure" to the name you chose in Preparing the Web Server.

For example, if you are using SSL and you specified "ucp" as the HTML virtual directory alias, you should change the URL to https://IPAddress/ucp, where IPAddress is the dotted decimal IP address of the web server.

Step 11 Click Next.

A second Enter Information dialog box displays the default URL for the CGI virtual directory, using the web server's IP address.

Step 12 Specify the URL for the CGI virtual directory, following these guidelines:

•If you are not using SSL and you chose to use securecgi-bin as the virtual directory alias for the UCP CGI directory, you can accept the default value.

•If you are using SSL, change the beginning of the URL from "http" to "https". The letter "s" is required after "http"; otherwise, communication between users and UCP will not be SSL-encrypted.

•If you chose a name different from securecgi-bin as the virtual directory alias for the UCP HTML directory, change "secure" to the name you chose in Preparing the Web Server.

For example, if you are using SSL and you specified "ucpcgi-bin" as the HTML virtual directory alias, you should change the URL to https://IPAddress/ucpcgi-bin, where IPAddress is the dotted decimal IP address of the web server.

Step 13 Click Next.

The Connecting to Cisco Secure Server dialog box appears.

Step 14 Type the IP address of the Cisco Secure ACS that you want UCP to send user password changes to. Use dotted decimal format for the IP address.

Step 15 Click Next.

Setup tests the connection to the Cisco Secure ACS you specified, and then the Setup Complete dialog box appears.

Step 16 To complete the installation, click Finish.

UCP is installed. If the web server is running and accessible, users can change Cisco Secure ACS passwords with UCP. For information about accessing UCP, see Determining the UCP URL.

Determining the UCP URL

After you have successfully installed UCP, you can access UCP with a supported web browser. For a list of supported web browsers, see the release notes for the version of Cisco Secure ACS you are accessing. The latest revision to the Release Notes is posted on Cisco.com.

The URL for the UCP web page is:

http://webserver/secure/login.htm

where webserver is the hostname or IP address of the web server running UCP and secure is the secure virtual directory alias created in Preparing the Web Server.

Tip For a shorter URL to the UCP page, add login.htm to the default documents on the web server. The URL would then be http://webserver/secure.

Upgrading UCP

The upgrade process consists of uninstalling the old version of UCP and installing the new version.

To upgrade the User-Changeable Password software, follow these steps:

Step 1 Remove the old version of UCP by performing the steps in Uninstalling UCP.

Step 2 Perform the steps in Preparing Cisco Secure ACS for UCP.

Step 3 Using the version of UCP that you want to upgrade to, perform the steps in Installing UCP.

Uninstalling UCP

To uninstall the User-Changeable Password software, follow these steps:

Step 1 On the computer running UCP, use Control Panel to uninstall Cisco Secure ACS User-Changeable Passwords.

Step 2 In Microsoft IIS, remove the virtual directories created for the UCP HTML and CGI files. The default names of these directories are secure and securecgi-bin; however, you may have customized the directory names when you installed UCP.

Step 3 Make sure the directories that the virtual directories were mapped to are deleted. This should have happened as part of Step 1. If the directories were not deleted, delete them now.

Step 4 If the web server runs IIS 6.0, consider whether you want IIS to continue to allow unknown CGI extensions. To change this setting, use the Web Service Extension page in the IIS Manager window and modify the status of Allow Unknown CGI Extensions.

Step 5 In the Cisco Secure ACS HTML interface, delete the AAA server configuration that corresponds to the server that ran UCP. For more information about deleting a AAA server configuration, see the user guide for the version of Cisco Secure ACS that you are using.

Changing Your Password

Note Check with your system administrator to be sure you have the appropriate permissions to change your password.

To change your password using the web server, follow these steps:

Step 1 Using a web browser, open the UCP page using the URL that your administrator provided.

Step 2 Type your username and password, and then click Submit.

The Change Password page opens. The username you entered on the previous page appears in the Username box.

Step 3 Specify the following information:

•Current Password—Type your current password.

•New Password—Type the new password. Your password might need to fulfill certain special requirements, such as minimum length. Check with your system administrator for details.

•Confirm New Password—Re-type the new password.
