Secure Access Sites

  • A Secure Access Site refers to a set of components—Virtual Appliances (VAs), Cisco AD Connectors, and domain controllers—that communicate only with each other.
  • A Secure Access Site is more than a label and is more like a container. A Secure Access Site is not the same as an AD site. Multiple AD sites can be part of an Secure Access Site, but one AD site should not be split into multiple Secure Access Sites.
  • A site must have a minimum of two VAs, and one connector and domain controller for an AD integration.

Because Secure Access Sites act as isolated deployments, each Secure Access Site must have a minimum of two VAs. If AD integration is also being used, each site must additionally contain a minimum of one AD connector and all domain controllers against which a user in that location authenticates.
