Need of Context Directory Agent

[fpiccioni]

Hi all

I downloaded from CCO CDA (Cisco Directory Agent - filename is AD_Agent-v1.0.0.32.1-build-598.Installer.zip) and installed it. The goal is to authenticate users of WSA using Windows Server 2003 Active Directory.

During deployement I discovered CDA supports until W2008R2 AD servers. Because customer plans to migrate soon AD to Windows Server 2012, I think CDA has to be replaced. 

Is Cisco Context Directory Agent the right replacement? I read it  runs on a separate Virtual Machine, so I need to inform customer we need an additional VM?

Thanks in advance

There are 4 patches available for the CDA.  you need to install all 4, in order.

Patch 3 adds support for 2012.

releasenotes are here.

What you downloaded was the old Active Directory Agent. You need to download CDA (Context Directory Agent) and the four patches and install them on a VM.

Hi

thanks for answer, at the moment I activated Cisco Directory Agent. Soon I will replace it with Context Directory Agent with the four patches to support W2012
