Whenever you configure Cisco Secure ACS to record accounting data for user
sessions, Cisco Secure ACS records start and stop packets. If you want, you can
configure Cisco Secure ACS to record update packets, too. In addition to
providing interim accounting information during a user session, update packets
drive password expiry messages via CiscoSecure Authentication Agent. In this
use, the update packets are referred to as watchdog packets.
To record update packets in Cisco Secure ACS accounting logs, you must
configure your AAA clients to send the update packets. For more information
about configuring your AAA client to send update packets, refer to the
documentation for your AAA clients.
