Configuring Provisioning
When the Cisco NAC Guest Server provisions accounts in other systems, such as the Clean Access
Manager, only one of the Guest Servers should be performing the provisioning at any one time.
One Cisco NAC Guest Server should be defined as the primary and the other as the secondary. The server
set to primary will perform the provisioning by default. If a server is set to secondary it will check the
status of the primary server, if it fails to contact the primary server three times then it will perform the
provisioning. This process happens every minute when the provisioning service runs.
Step 1 From the administration interface select Authentication > Replication Settings from the left hand menu
(
Figure 12-2).

Step 2 Select the Provisioning to be Primary if you want this server to perform the provisioning under normal
conditions. Select Secondary if you want this server to only perform provisioning if the Primary cannot
be contacted.
Step 3 Click the Save Settings button.
Note Only one of the servers should be set to Primary otherwise you may get errors when creating or deleting
accounts twice.
