Chapter 1: CSA for Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management Enterprise/Hosted (Unified ICM/CCE/CCH)
Introduction
Introduction
This section provides a brief introduction to CSA.
CSA provides:
• Intrusion detection and prevention for Unified ICM/CCE/CCH
• Defense against previously unknown attacks because it does not require signatures (as antivirus software does)
• Reduction of downtime, widespread attack propagation, and clean-up costs
The standalone Agent is provided free of charge by Cisco Systems for use with Unified
ICM/CCE/CCH. The Agent provides Windows platform security (host intrusion detection and prevention) that is based on a tested set of security rules (policy). The Agent controls system operations by using a policy that allows or denies specific system actions before system resources are accessed.
A policy controls access to system resources based on:
• The resources being accessed
• The operation being invoked
• The process invoking the action
This occurs transparently and does not hinder overall system performance.
Caution: You should not view CSA for Unified ICM/CCE/CCH as providing complete security for application servers. Rather, view CSA as an additional line of defense that, when used correctly with other standard defenses such as virus-scanning software and firewalls, provides enhanced security. CSA for Unified ICM/CCE/CCH provides enhanced defense for many different installations and configurations, and thus cannot enforce network access control rules (which block outbound or inbound network traffic) or act as a host-based firewall.
Other security considerations include keeping the OS updated. The best starting point for references to security and voice products is http://www.cisco.com/go/ipcsecurity .
A specific document to examine is IP Telephony Security Operations Guide to Best Practices at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/netsol/ns340/ns394/ns165/ns391/ networking_solutions_design_guidance09186a00801f8e47.html .
Also, see the Security Best Practices Guide for Cisco Unified ICM/Contact Center Enterprise
& Hosted, Release 8.x(y) , which can be accessed from http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ sw/custcosw/ps1844/prod_technical_reference_list.html

Chapter 1: CSA for Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management Enterprise/Hosted (Unified ICM/CCE/CCH)
Introduction
The policy for the CSA standalone Agent for Unified ICM/CCE/CCH is created from the default policy modules that are shipped with CSA 6.0. These default policy modules secure Windows,
SQL, IIS, and Tomcat.
These default CSA policy modules are altered in two ways for Unified ICM/CCE/CCH:
• Policy changes are made in order to allow the Unified ICM/CCE/CCH product family, including qualified third-party applications, to run smoothly.
• New rules are added to secure the Unified ICM/CCE/CCH product family resources, such as its files, registry, etc.
Be aware that, in the interests of security, CSA default policy modules might block what you might consider default Windows activity. These rules have been retained for CSA for Unified
ICM/CCE/CCH when they do not block application activity.
As examples (and these are just to be taken as examples):
• Web clients will be denied from launching another application.
• Access to unknown 16-bit applications might be restricted.
Also in the interests of security, remote file access is generally denied. For exceptions, see
the " Restrictions on Share Directories (page 11) " section.
The standalone CSA for Unified ICM/CCE/CCH uses a static policy that cannot be changed.
However, see the " Migrating to the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents (page 22) "
section for additional information.
Refer to the Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise (Unified CCE) Software Compatibility
Guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/custcosw/ps1844/ products_device_support_tables_list.html
to understand the supported product compatibility for Unified CCE.
Follow the installation instructions in this document to install the standalone CSA on all software servers, including CallRouter, Logger, Peripheral Gateway (PG), Administration & Data Server,
Historical Data Server (HDS), Outbound Option Dialer, Network Gateway, Unified EIM, Unified
WIM, Cisco Media Blender, Cisco CTI OS, CAD, Cisco Support Tools, Cisco Unified CRM
Connector, Cisco Remote Silent Monitoring, Unified CCMP, and Cisco Voice Integration to
Genesys Call Center.
Specifically, CSA for Unified ICM/CCE/CCH 8.0(1) incorporates the appropriate policies for supported versions of third-party software.
• Unified ICM Enterprise 8.0(1)
– Supported: CallRouter, Logger, PGs, Administration & Data Servers, HDS, CTI Server,

Chapter 1: CSA for Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management Enterprise/Hosted (Unified ICM/CCE/CCH)
Introduction
Note: In order to support software not supported by the standalone CSA for Unified
ICM/CCE/CCH, either use the appropriate standalone Agent (for example, CSA for Cisco
Unified Customer Voice Portal (Unified CVP)), or use the Management Center for Cisco Security
Agents to produce a CSA appropriate for your needs (for example, to support desktops)—see
the " Migrating to the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents (page 22) " section for
additional information.
For servers running Unified CM, refer to the Installing Cisco Security Agent for Cisco Unified
Communications Manager (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/csa/
7_0_1/instcsa.html) guide.
For servers running Cisco Unified IP-IVR ( Unified IP IVR ), refer to the Installing Cisco
Security Agent for Cisco Unified CCX and Cisco Unified IP IVR (http://www.cisco.com/ en/US/products/sw/custcosw/ps1846/prod_installation_guides_list.html) guide.
For servers running Unified CVP, refer to the Cisco Security Agent Installation/Deployment for Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/custcosw/ ps1006/prod_installation_guides_list.html) guide.
Note: In addition to being specifically tuned for Unified ICM/CCE/CCH, CSA provides support for a select number of Cisco-approved third-party applications. These are the third-party applications included in the Hardware & System Software Specification (Bill of Materials) for
Cisco Unified ICM/Contact Center Enterprise & Hosted, Release 8.0(1). No other third-party
applications are officially supported. These third-party applications must be installed in the default directories presented during the installation process; otherwise, your applications will not work properly. See the discussion in the "
Default Installation Directories (page 9) " section.
Automatic Windows updates are allowed by the current CSA policy. By default Automatic
Windows Update downloads and installs the updates from the following folders (** indicates a recursive directory path):
<Windows_folder_path>\**\Install*\*
<Windows_folder_path>\SoftwareDistribution\**\*
If the Windows update mechanism changes, you might need to download a more recent version of the standalone Agent software, or contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC). In any event, when a newer version of the Agent becomes available, you must install the newer version.
" section for additional information.
Default Installation Directories
Caution: To use CSA, you must always use the default directories when installing any software on a server. You do not need to select the default disk drive if an option is available
(for example, C: or D:), but you must use default directories.
CSA leverages rules which incorporate path information. Application actions might be blocked if the application is not installed in the correct directory. For this reason, it is mandatory that applications are installed to the default directories provided by the application installers. Also, drive letters are not restricted.

Introduction
Chapter 1: CSA for Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management Enterprise/Hosted (Unified ICM/CCE/CCH)
If you are not sure whether default directories were used during your installation of Unified
ICM/CCE/CCH and supported third-party software, a number of the more important default directories are provided below (for those cases where you can select optional installation directories on the servers).
In the notation below, two wildcards (that is, **) indicate a recursive directory path—including all directories, passing down as many levels as exist in a path. All regular expressions given below are case-insensitive. Thus, mssql is the same as MSSQL.
Microsoft SQL Server
Install SQL Server under a directory with at least one of the following strings in the path.
**\Program Files\**\Microsoft SQL Server\**
pcAnywhere
pcAnywhere must be installed under:
**\Program Files\**\pcAnywhere
Antivirus Software
Note: Refer to the Hardware & System Software Specification (Bill of Materials) for Cisco
Unified ICM/Contact Center Enterprise & Hosted, Release 8.0(1) for the specific versions of the Antivirus software that is supported.
Accept the default installation directory for any of the antivirus software.
McAfee must be installed under:
**\McAfee
**\Network Associates\**
Norton and Symantec AntiVirus must be installed under:
**\Norton*\**
**\Symantec*\**
**\nav\**
**\navnt\**
Trend Micro must be installed under:
**\Trend*\**
ServletExec Components
The WebView ServletExec component must be installed under:
**\ServletExec AS

Introduction
Customer Applications
For your convenience, a directory has been set up where you can run agent and customer programs, in case you have problems with a particular customer application. If customer programs are installed in this directory, these programs can run without generating events. The directory is:
**\Program Files\ICM_CSA_CustomerApps\**\
Restrictions on Share Directories
Certain applications, namely, WebView, and Outbound Option, depend on a remote process
(that is, an application running on a different computer) being able to write to a share directory on servers hosting WebView or Outbound Option. Servers running CSA now limit the acceptable names of the share directories for use by these applications. Viruses written to these named directories will not be able to execute and propagate. The restrictions apply only to the names of the directories, not to the name of the share which is visible to remote computers.
Following are the directories that can be used with CSA when shares are required.
WebView: Custom-Template Creation
In earlier releases, customers using InfoMaker were allowed to directly edit a .pbl file on the
Administration and Data Server, in order to add or edit a template.
Starting with ICM Release 6.0(0), if CSA is installed, customers must copy the .pbl from the
Administration & Data Server to the remote machine on which InfoMaker is running, edit it with InfoMaker, and then copy the .pbl file back to the Administration & Data Server.
Note: The term "Admin Workstation" refers both to the component in earlier versions of ICM, and to the current Administration Client and Administration & Data Server.
Outbound Option
When attempting to import customer data files from a computer that is running CSA, make sure that the path to the file begins with:
<drive>:\customer\import
This path rule does not apply if the import file is located on the same computer as the import process. Also, make sure that the import process user has network and directory read/write access to the "customer" directory as well as the "import" directory.
For additional information on Import Rule, refer to the Outbound Option Guide for Cisco Unified
Contact Center Enterprise & Hosted. If you are having problems with the import process, access the troubleshooting tip at http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/
Troubleshooting_Tips_for_Unified_CCE_8.0#Outbound_Option_-_Import_Problems .

Network Access Control
Chapter 1: CSA for Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management Enterprise/Hosted (Unified ICM/CCE/CCH)
Network Access Control
CSA for Unified ICM/CCE/CCH provides enhanced defense for many different installations and configurations, and thus does not enforce network access control rules (which block outbound or inbound network traffic) or act as a host-based firewall. However, CSA does prevent worm-like activity that is not exhibited by any standard software, explained as follows:
• CSA will block an application from accessing the network if it tries to spam multiple IP addresses on the subnet at the same time.
• CSA will block an application from accessing the network if it exhibits buffer overflow or similar malware-like activity.
• CSA will block port scan activity and various attacks such as TCP SYN flood, session spoofing, invalid headers, and so on.
System Requirements
The system requirements are:
• Unified ICM/CCE/CCH 8.0(1)
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2, Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition, in English
• Disk space: 50 MB
• Typical CPU Load (under normal circumstances): less than 5%
Refer to the Hardware & System Software Specification (Bill of Materials) for Cisco Unified
ICM/Contact Center Enterprise & Hosted, Release 8.0(1) for the latest hardware and software specifications for Unified ICM/CCE/CCH.
Before You Begin the Installation
Before you install CSA, review the following information.
Note: A newer standalone version of CSA, based on CSA engine version 6.0, is available for
Unified ICM/CCE/CCH Release 8.0(1). Earlier versions of CSA, which were supported on prior releases, are not supported in Release 8.0(1). Hence, you must uninstall any earlier version of CSA prior to upgrading to Release 8.0(1). For more details, refer to the Upgrade Guide for
Cisco Unified ICM/Contact Center Enterprise & Hosted.
More generally:

Chapter 1: CSA for Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management Enterprise/Hosted (Unified ICM/CCE/CCH)
Before You Begin the Installation
• Confirm that the computer you are using to install CSA has 50 MB of hard disk space available for the downloaded file and the installed files.
• Either Unified ICM/CCE/CCH must be installed before you install CSA, or you must disable
CSA before installing Unified ICM/CCE/CCH.
• Before each upgrade, you must disable the CSA service. You must also be sure that the service does not get enabled at any time during the software installation. For information on how to disable the service, see the "
Disabling and Re-enabling the CSA Service (page 16)
" section.
Caution: You must disable the CSA service before performing any software installation.
This means before every operating system, software, and third-party installation and upgrade, including maintenance release, service release, and support patch installations and upgrades. Ensure that the service does not get enabled at any time during the installation or upgrade. Failure to do so might cause problems with the installation or upgrade, since CSA might block part of the installation if not disabled. After installing or upgrading the software, you must re-enable the CSA service. With the service disabled, the Agent no long provides intrusion detection for the server.
Note: For Release 8.0(1), the Cisco Unified ICM-CCE-CCE installer will automatically stop/start CSA. Manual steps are not needed.
If CSA is disabled and a drastic system failure occurs, you might need to re-enable CSA manually.
• If Remote Desktop (Terminal Services) is installed on your system, do not use it to install or upgrade CSA (unless logged into session :0 with console access). You can use pcAnywhere or Virtual Network Computing (V.C.) to remotely install or upgrade the Agent.
• Rebooting must be done immediately after installation, because although CSA protects the server as soon as you install the software, it does not provide complete functionality until the server is reported.
In particular, the following limitations exist if the system is not reported:
– Network Shield rules are not applied
– Network access control rules only apply to new socket connects (though stopping and restarting network server service will provide full network access control security, even without a system reboot)
– Data access control rules are not applied (though stopping and restarting the web server service will apply data access control security, even without a system reboot)
Caution: To minimize effects on resources, you must install/reboot your system at the end of the business day or during a time when processing is minimal, preferably during a regularly scheduled maintenance window.
• After the installation, you do not need to perform any Agent configuration tasks. The software immediately begins to work as designed. Security events might display in the Messages

Installing CSA
Chapter 1: CSA for Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management Enterprise/Hosted (Unified ICM/CCE/CCH) window of the Agent GUI (double-click the CSA icon—the red flag in the Windows system tray; then click Events, on the left), as well as in Microsoft Event Viewer and/or in the securitylog.txt file (see
Event Messages and Log Files (page 18)
).
Note: If you encounter problems with installing or uninstalling CSA, see
Messages, Logs, and Caching (page 18) and
.
Installing CSA
This section describes the process of installing CSA.
Caution: Before you upgrade or reinstall the Agent, you must uninstall the Agent. You cannot install one version of the Agent on top of a previously installed version. See the
" and " Upgrading CSA (page 18)
" sections.
Note:
• An important feature of the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents is that it has a scheduled update program that automatically updates the Agents that are being managed.
This eliminates the need to manually stop, uninstall, install, and start CSA on each server.
See the " Migrating to the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents (page 22) " section.
• To install CSA you must be a System Administrator.

Caution: The Agent protects the server as soon as you install the software, but the Agent does not provide complete functionality until you reboot the server. Therefore, you must reboot immediately after installation. To minimize affects on resources (such as processing interruptions), you must install/reboot your system at the end of the business day or during a time when processing is minimal, preferably during a regularly scheduled maintenance window.
Note: When the installation completes, a red flag (the CSA icon) displays in the Windows system tray. Double-click the red flag. If "Security: Medium" displays in the lower-right corner of the CSA window, this indicates that security is enabled.
Perform this procedure on each software server.
Checking the Version on the Server
You can check the engine and policy versions of the Agent you installed. To do so, double-click the CSA flag in the system tray. Included in the Status section of the CSA window is the Product
ID, which will be similar to: Cisco ICM CSA 6.0.1.98 Policy 5.0(1).
In this case, 6.0.1.98 is the engine version and 5.0(1) is the policy version.
If the CSA flag is not available, the engine and policy versions can be obtained as follows:
• Open the text file <InstallDrive>:\Program Files\Cisco\CSAgent\cfg\agent.bundle.
• The value of the key STD.PRODUCT_ID contains the engine and policy version.

Disabling and Re-enabling CSA Service
Disabling and Re-enabling CSA Service
You must disable the CSA service whenever you want to install, upgrade, or uninstall software.
This means before every operating system, software, and third-party installation and upgrade, including maintenance release, service release, and support patch installations and upgrades.
Ensure that the service does not get enabled at any time during the installation or upgrade.
Failure to do so might cause problems with the installation or upgrade.
After installing or upgrading the software, you must re-enable the CSA service. With the service disabled, the Agent no long provides intrusion detection for the server.
Note: You must have Admin rights in order to successfully disable or re-enable CSA.

Upgrading CSA
Chapter 1: CSA for Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management Enterprise/Hosted (Unified ICM/CCE/CCH) the Messages window in the graphical user interface (GUI) displays errors, but the software does not provide protection.
Note: The following is relevant if you are uninstalling CSA for ICM 5.0(0) or CSA for ICM
6.0(0) in order to upgrade to CSA for Unified ICM/CCE/CCH 8.0(1); however, no such registry
keys exist for CSA for ICM 7.x.
The uninstaller does not remove the registry entries where the policy version is stored. You must manually delete them—after you uninstall. The relevant registries are:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cisco Systems, Inc.\System Info\ICM-CSA Policy\Version
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cisco Systems, Inc.\System Info\CSA Agent\Product
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cisco Systems, Inc.\System Info\CSA Agent\Version
Delete everything under, and including, ICM-CSA Policy, and everything under, and including,
CSA Agent.
Upgrading CSA
To upgrade CSA, perform the following tasks:
1. Uninstall the existing version that is installed on the server. See the "
2. Install the new version that you plan to run on the server. See the "
Messages, Logs, and Caching
This section discusses additional features of CSA.
Event Messages and Log Files
• If CSA has a message for you, the icon (the red flag in the Windows system tray) displays a bubble message box. To read the message, double-click the icon, then click Events.
The messages that are displayed are those generated when an action either is denied or generated a query.
• The log files are located in:<InstallDrive>:\Program Files\Cisco \CSAgent\log.
– securitylog.txt—this is the main event log; this is where rule violations and other relevant events are logged
– csalog.txt—this provides Agent startup and shutdown history (it contains events as well; but securitylog.txt also contains the events, and is easier to read)
Cisco Security Agent Installation/Deployment Guide for Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management Enterprise/Hosted Release 8.0(1)
18
Chapter 1: CSA for Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management Enterprise/Hosted (Unified ICM/CCE/CCH)
Messages, Logs, and Caching
– driver_install.log—this provides a record of the driver installation process
– CSAgent-Install.log—this provides a detailed record of the installation process
• You can view securitylog.txt using Notepad. The field names are given in the first line. This can be done by:
– Double-clicking the CSA icon—the red flag in the Windows system tray.
– Then click Events.
– Then click View under Log File Actions. (Clicking Purge deletes all events stored in securitylog.txt, though csalog.txt will continue to contain that information.)
You can also:
– Copy securitylog.txt to a machine that has Excel and change the name to securitylog.csv.
– Double-click securitylog.csv and it will open as an Excel spreadsheet.
You might find it more convenient to see the contents of a spreadsheet cell by clicking the cell and looking at the contents in the field above the spreadsheet matrix.
For diagnosing problems, the most important fields are DateTime, Severity, Text, and User.
Ignore the RawEvent field; it contains essentially the same information that is presented in the other fields, but in an unprocessed, and difficult to read, form.
The ordering of the severity levels, from least to most severe, is Information, Notice, Warning,
Error, Alert, Critical, Emergency.
Understanding How the Cache Works
CSA caches your responses to queries. This is a convenience feature, so that you do not have to respond to a pop-up each time you do a repetitive action.
When users are queried, the Agent can remember the response permanently or temporarily. This way, if the same rule is triggered again, the action is allowed, denied, or terminated based on what answer was given previously with no pop-up query box appearing again either permanently or for some period of time.
For example, if a user is queried as to whether an application can talk on the network and the user responds by clicking Yes and clicking Don't ask me again, the Yes response is remembered permanently and that response appears in the edit field in the User Query Response window
(double-click the flag icon, then click User Query Response on the left). If the user is queried as to whether the.exe can install software on the system and the user responds by clicking Yes, but there is no Don't ask me again checkbox or it is there but the user does not select it, this response is remembered temporarily and it does not appear in the User Query Response window.

Troubleshooting
Chapter 1: CSA for Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management Enterprise/Hosted (Unified ICM/CCE/CCH)
If the user response is only cached temporarily (for approximately an hour), the user can click
Clear in the User Query Response window to delete all temporarily cached responses. To clear permanent responses listed in the Edit field, the user must select the response in the Edit field and press the Delete key.
Note: Permanent responses are remembered across reboots. Temporarily cached responses are
not remembered across reboots. Also, a query response is tied to the user who responded. On multi-user machines, multiple users might be asked the same question.
Troubleshooting
Observe the following troubleshooting suggestions before contacting the Cisco Technical
Assistance Center (TAC).
Problems with Installing/Uninstalling the Agent
If you encounter problems with installing or uninstalling the Agent, perform the following tasks:
• Verify that you rebooted the server.
• Verify that the CSA service is not disabled and that its Startup Type value is Automatic.
• Obtain the installation logs from <InstallDrive>:\Program Files\Cisco \CSAgent\log. Review the CSAgent-Install.log and driver_install.log files.
• Verify that you did not use Remote Desktop (Terminal Services).
Problems with Unified ICM/CCE/CCH or Errors from CSA
Follow the procedure in this section, if you encounter problems after installing CSA:
• Are CSA error messages displayed (double-click the flag icon, then click Messages, on the left)?
• Review the CSA log file, securitylog.txt, for events indicating that an application action was blocked by CSA.
•
As explained in the " Understanding How the Cache Works (page 19)
" section, CSA can cache user responses either temporarily or permanently. There are occasions where knowing about caching is important. For example, when you run the application, CSA prompts you to confirm that you want to run the application. You inadvertently respond No. At this point,
CSA will not allow you to run the application for approximately an hour, unless you clear
the cache as described in the " Understanding How the Cache Works (page 19) " section.
• CSA can mark suspicious processes as untrusted; for example, recently downloaded content that gets executed immediately. Also, CSA maintains states such as Install State, Virus infected, and so forth. If you believe that CSA is behaving abnormally, or suspect that CSA is doing something it never did before and is thereby blocking something it should not be
Cisco Security Agent Installation/Deployment Guide for Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management Enterprise/Hosted Release 8.0(1)
20
Chapter 1: CSA for Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management Enterprise/Hosted (Unified ICM/CCE/CCH)
Troubleshooting blocking, reset the agent back to its original (that is, when newly installed) state. Resetting the agent will clear the temporary and permanent caches, as well as clear agent states and the untrusted applications list.
To reset the agent, click Start > All Programs > Cisco Security Agent > Reset Cisco
Security Agent.
• Never hide the flag icon while the service is running (by clicking Exit). Make sure the flag is visible in the system tray as long as the service is running.
If the service is running and the flag is not visible, you can make it visible by clicking Start
> All Programs > Cisco Security Agent > Cisco Security Agent.
If you cannot determine the cause of a CSA log entry or error message, contact Cisco TAC;
however, before doing so, see the " What to Do Before Contacting TAC About a CSA Problem
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
Step 6
To troubleshoot problems with Unified ICM/CCE/CCH software or errors from CSA:
Disable CSA as described in the "
" section.
Perform the operation that caused the error message.
Re-enable CSA as described in the " How to Re-enable CSA (page 17)
" section.
Perform the operation that caused the error message.
If the operation completes successfully with CSA turned off and continues to fail with CSA enabled, confirm that the software with which you were having the problem is among the Unified
ICM/CCE/CCH software components or third-party applications included in the Hardware &
System Software Specification (Bill of Materials) for Cisco Unified ICM/Contact Center
Enterprise & Hosted, Release 8.0(1).
If you are unable to resolve the problem, see the "
What to Do Before Contacting TAC About a CSA Problem (page 21) " section.
What to Do Before Contacting TAC About a CSA Problem
First, go through all the relevant procedures described above to determine if there is really a problem, and if it is in fact a CSA problem.
How to Open a TAC Case
If you feel that it is a CSA problem, and you want to open a TAC case, follow the procedure below:

Migrating to the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Run the CSA Diagnostics program by clicking Start > All Programs > Cisco>Cisco Security
Agent > Cisco Security Agent Diagnostics.
Note: To minimize effects on resources, you must install/reboot your system at the end of the business day or during a time when processing is minimal, preferably during a regularly scheduled maintenance window.
This causes the agent to gather self-describing diagnostic information on the system and on the agent itself (for example, information pertaining to any configured system states). Be patient, because it might take some time to collect this data.
The diagnostic utility temporarily disables agent security while it executes. If you are queried to disable agent security, respond by clicking Yes, to allow the diagnostics program to run.
Security is automatically re-enabled when the utility finishes collecting data.
When the collection is complete, a message appears informing you that a csa-diagnostics.zip
file has been created in the <InstallDrive>:\Program Files\Cisco\CSAgent\log directory.
Determine the version of your CSA engine and of your CSA policy (the method for doing so is described in the "
Checking the Version on the Server (page 15) " section).
Contact TAC. Be prepared to provide them with the zipped file mentioned in Step 2 and the information you collected in Step 3.
Migrating to the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents
An important feature of the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents is that it has a scheduled update program that automatically updates the Agents that are being managed. This eliminates the need to manually stop, uninstall, install, and start CSA on each server.
Also, while the Security Agent included with Unified ICM/CCE/CCH uses a static policy that can not be changed, it is possible to add, change, or delete the policy if you purchase and install
Management Center for Cisco Security Agents. However, any such changed policy is NOT qualified for use with the software.
Note: If you have used the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents to change the policy associated with the Cisco Security Agent for Unified ICM/CCE/CCH and you encounter problems with running your software, before calling your support provider, you must first do the following:
• Remove any third-party software not supported by Cisco from your software servers
• Revert to the original Cisco Security Agent for Unified ICM/CCE/CCH policy
The Management Center for Cisco Security Agent contains two components:
• The Management Center installs on a dedicated server and includes a web server, a configuration database, and a web-based interface. The Management Center allows you to

Chapter 1: CSA for Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management Enterprise/Hosted (Unified ICM/CCE/CCH)
Migrating to the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents define rules and policies and create Agent kits that are then distributed to managed servers.
(Multiple policies for different Cisco products can be managed by a single MC.)
• The Cisco Security Agent (the managed Agent) installs on all software servers and enforces security policies. The managed Agent registers with the Management Center and can receive configuration and rule updates. It also sends event reports back to its Management Center.
If you are interested in the Management Center, obtain the latest version of the following
Management Center for Cisco Security Agent documents:
• Installing Management Center for Cisco Security Agents 6.0
• Using Management Center for Cisco Security Agents 6.0
• Release Notes for Management Center for Cisco Security Agents 6.0
Download these documents from http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps5057/ tsd_products_support_series_home.html
.
Ensure that the Management Center component is installed on a separate, dedicated server and the managed Agent is installed on all software servers. Make sure that the server that is intended for the Management Center meets the system requirements that are listed in Installing
Management Center for Cisco Security Agents 6.0.
Caution: Do not install the Management Center on servers where you have installed Unified
ICM/CCE/CCH. If you attempt to do so, either the installation will fail, or the Management
Center will block operation of the software components.
Once you have obtained the Management Center for Cisco Security Agent package and documentation, and followed the instructions in Installing Management Center for Cisco Security
Agents 6.0 for installing the Management Center for Cisco Security Agent, perform the following procedure to import the software policy and install a managed Agent.
How to Install a Managed Agent
This section lists the steps to install a Managed Agent.
Step 1
Step 2
Uninstall CSA, if it exists, by following the instructions in the "
section.
Download the latest version of the Unified ICM/CCE/CCH policy XML file (though an XML file, the extension is .export; for example, CiscoICM-CSA-6.0.1.98-5.0.1.export). You can obtain the policy from the same location as the standalone CSA.
Note: On accessing this site, see the "
" section.
To understand the Policy Design for Unified ICM/CCE/CCH, see the "

Step 5
Note the location where you saved the downloaded file.
Follow the instructions in Using Management Center for Cisco Security Agents 6.0 (the
"Exporting and Importing Configurations" section in the "Using Management Center for Cisco
Security Agents Utilities" chapter) for importing the policy that you downloaded in Step 1.
Follow the instructions in the "Quick Configuration and Deployment" chapter of the Installing
Management Center for Cisco Security Agents 6.0 guide to perform the following tasks:
• Generate the Rules.
• Build an Agent kit using the group created when you imported the policy.
Distribute and install the new managed Agent that was created in Step 3 by following the instructions in the "Cisco Security Agent Installation and Overview" appendix in the Installing
Management Center for Cisco Security Agents 6.0 guide.
Policy Design for Unified ICM/CCE/CCH
In releases prior to 8.0(1), all policy variable names (rule modules, application classes, file sets, data sets, and so on) used to be pre-pended with the term "ICM." This is no longer the case.
Only those policy variables that are created or customized specifically to accommodate Unified
ICM/CCE/CCH functionality are now set with names starting with "ICM -." Other policy variables that are part of the ICM policy but do not require customization still use their original names, as shipped with the CSA Management Center (MC). This simplifies the process of updating the policy during future releases or patches.
Furthermore, in releases prior to 8.0(1), rule modules were split across multiple policy modules, making it difficult to find the rule customizations made for Unified ICM/CCE/CCH. Starting with the 8.0(1) release, all rule modules are now organized under the following four policy modules:
1. ICM - CSA Supplied Security Modules (Unmodified)
2. ICM - CSA Supplied Security Modules (Modified)
3. ICM - Exceptions to CSA Supplied Policy Modules for ICM
4. ICM - Additional Security beyond CSA Supplied Modules
As the name suggests, all rule modules templates that are shipped with the CSA MC and are used to create the ICM CSA policy are grouped under the first two policy modules. If any rule was customized in a rule module, then that rule module is added to the "ICM - CSA Supplied
Security Modules (Modified)" policy module, else the rule module is added to the "ICM - CSA
Supplied Security Modules (Unmodified)" policy module.
Exceptions to the template rule modules created to accommodate the software functionality are added to the "ICM - Exceptions to CSA Supplied Policy Modules for ICM" policy module.

Chapter 1: CSA for Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management Enterprise/Hosted (Unified ICM/CCE/CCH)
Obtaining Additional Information About CSA
Additional rules added to provide security beyond CSA MC provided templates are added to the "ICM - Additional Security beyond CSA Supplied Modules" policy module.
Warning: Changes made to the CSA policy, such as adding more deny rules or removing the allow rules, might cause the software to fail. Cisco can not support such custom policy changes made to the ICM CSA policy.
Obtaining Additional Information About CSA
For additional information about CSA, do the following:
• In the Windows system tray, right-click the flag and select Open Agent Panel.
• Click Help.
The CSA documentation displays.
