i configured pix 525 for easy vpn. About 100 to 200 people will use this service. i dont have much knowledge about radius and tacacas servers. Is local data base enough for extended authentication or should i configure the server for it ?
View 2 Repliesi'm trying to configure acs 5.2 to LDAP external idenity store, when LDAP failes ACS 5.2 should use internal indenity store. I configured A sequence to use LDAP 1st then Internal and i shut off the link to the LDAP but ACS will not use internal, AAA Diagnostics keeps telling me that Cannot establish connection with LDAP server and will not use the internal store.

( it doesnt matter if the user in local database was created before user in ACS or after ) e.g.: username test password test1 role priv-0 (note passwords are different for users in both databases)
after i create the same user in local database with privilege 0,if i try to connect to the switch with this username test and password defined on ACS, i get only privilege 0 authorization, regardless, that ACS server is up and it should be primary way to authenticate and authorizate the user.
I have a weird issue. I recently setup an ASA 5510 and had SSH working. To make it easier on my VPN users I then decided I wanted to setup a Windows 2008 Network Policy Server for RADIUS authentication. Ever since I added the RADIUS part to aaa authentication, when I use SSH to connect to the ASA it will not take the local user name and password I have setup. I can however get in using a Domain user name and password. Below is the SSH and AAA configuration. Am I missing something here? The username and password in the ASA is not on the domain and it's like the ASA is not even trying LOCAL when it tries to authenticate. I want it to use the local username and password if possible. I'm kind of new to ASA's..
On another note, I have never been able to SSH in on the internal interface. I always get a "The remote system refused the connection" error message. I can only use the outside interface.
Site-ASA# sh run | in ssh
aaa authentication ssh console SERVER_RADIUS LOCAL
ssh 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 outside
ssh 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 inside
ssh timeout 60
[code]....
We are wanting to use local database users to authenticate our SSH connections to our 6500 cores.
We have added the usernames and password into the 6500 using
username anameduser password astrongpassword or username anameduser secret astrongpassword
We where expecting the commands to be the same as other iOS devices example C3750 we would add.
Line vty 0 4 login local
And this would allow us to use the local user database to authenticate our ssh sessions.
The login local commands are not availbe on the 6500s and we have not found any documentation on how to impliment a local database for this purpose except in a CatOS 6500.
We have implemented a local MAC address filter database on a WLC 4402. Right now, management access is restricted to a select few administrators. We would like to extend the ability of our PC services group to add MAC entries to this database via a script (avoiding the necessity to create Read/Write management user accounts). Is this possible? Is there a better way to accomplish this objective ?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded the firmware to 2.0.2.01-tm (from 2.0.0.19-tm). Now I noticed the RV082's local DNS server ("DNS Local Database" feature) does not work any more. Any URL-IPaddr combo I used to put in there was resolved prior to sending a request to the WAN's primary/secondary DNS server. It isn't a PC problem. I tested on different real and virtual machines, windows and Linux. Is there new "enable" switch somwhere?

View 3 Replies View RelatedFirstly the ACS 4.2.1 for Windows database replication does any one have and documentation on the processes required?Secondly I have a single system installed which is providing TACACS authentication for management access to a Cisco 5508 WLC, the controller prompts with a login box on connection to the web interface. When you put in the username and password pair the box comes back as if the authentication has failed. On the ACS I was unable to see any failed authentications so enabled passed authentication reporting and can see the user passing the process. The WLC is running software version 6.0.199.4. On the ACS I have added the extra two options within the TACACS interface configuration and have a ‘role1=all’ against both the user and the group the user is part of so I am confused as to why the user is still denied access.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWe have recently upgraded acs 5.1 to 5.3 ( normal upgrade process), all secondary (ACS-B) was deregistered from primary (ACS-A , used as configuration server and log collector) and updated successfully. But while upgrading primary acs server was rebooted manually. But later primary server was re upgraded successfully to 5.3.
Just to ensure database is not lost on primary acs (ACS-A) , primary acs was registered to one of the secondary acs (ACS-B). Initially ACS-A registered with ACS-B, both ACS was showing proper role now. ACS-A ( secondary ) and ACS-B (primary). But on New primary ACS (ACS-B) is showing new secondary (ACS-A) offline and replication pending. Whereas on Secondary ACS-B its shows primary ACS-A online and updated. But ACS replication id is gradually incrementing. ACS system is in this system for last 2 day, But not sure if there is real replication happening at backend? How long it take place to replicate completely? and how to check / verify status of upgrade?
Is it possible to create on ACS5 rule which will:
1. Try to authenticate user in external database1 (radius)
2. When external database1 returns FAIL (because of bad password) ACS5 should try to authenticate user in another external database2 (radius)

I am running windows based acs 3.3 in my lan environment going to be replaced with acs 1120 appliance running acs 4.2.1.15 , ACS 3.3 database has been built upto 4.2.0.124 ,step by step by upgrade process
1) acs 3.3.3.14---> 4.1.1.24
2) acs 4.1.1.24 ----> 4.2.0.124 .
now my database is with 4.2.0.124 dmp file , I cannot upgrade my database to 4.2.1.15 because 4.2.1.15 patch is not applicable & executable on 90 days evalution package of 4.2.0.124 of windows platform .
can i import my windows based 4.2.0.124 datbase directly to my acs appliance running 4.2.1.15.3 ??? , else its requires any step to be done to modify the windows based databse matching to appliance windows verison once .
I could see on appliance under restore settings the following options (restore from 4.2.0 backup file to acs 4.2.1)
On Cisco ACS 5.2.0.26 Patch 10, I got this system alarm:Incremental backup is not configured. Configuring incremental backup is necessary to make the database purge successful. This will be useful to avoid disk space issues. View database Size is 2.92GB and size it occupies on the harddisk is 2.91GB
In "Monitoring Configuration > System Operations > Data Management > Removal and Backup", we got this information:
Database Purging:If database size exceeds 120 GB, a backup (if configured) and purge will be initiated. If database size exceeds 150 GB, a purge will be initiated.
Could View database size reach 120 GB ?I want to know how long will Cisco ACS works without problem and if I need to hurry to configure purge.
I am configuring new ACS 1121 appliance with version 5.3 and wanted to know how to configure Remote Database settings in ACS5.3 Is that necessary to configure that option ?
Also one more thing I can see that ACS 5.3 generates lots of logs is there any solution to reduce such logs. It seems many unuseful logs which are system related are getting logged into device which might no be good for memory requirements of device.
is it possible to validate the ACS Application Accounts against an external repository like LDAP? I have found that LDAP can be used only as Identity store to authenticate users on AAA clients and Network devices.

View 2 Replies View RelatedBeen tinkering around in our ACS 5.2 appliances today to setup PEAP. I generated a self signed certificate under local certificates which I want to remove now. But when I try to delete it I get the following message:
This System Failure occurred: Certificate is associated with a protocol. Hence it cannot be deleted.. Your changes have not been save. Click OK to return to the list page.
I assume this is because it is associated with the EAP protocol, but I cannot uncheck the box when I edit the local certificate. How can I get rid of this test certificate?
I want to have a local user in ACS that is permitted to login to routers. I have TACACS with AD already working but cannot get a local user to work.

I cannot find a config example doc and cannot figure it out from the user guide as the documention is sorely lacking.

Last time I tested with ACS, it worked but didn't do migration as there'll be changes from ADs. Now my customer wants ACS migration by creating new Group in AD, I also update ACS config. For the user from the old group, authentication is ok.For the user from the new group, authentication fails. With subject not found error, showing the user is from the old group.
Seems like ACS is querying from old records (own cache or database). Already restared the ACS but still the same error.
Note: My customer can only access their local ADs (trusted by Global ADs). Local ADs & ACS are in the same network, ACS should go to local AD first.How can we check or make sure it?
I intend to create ACS local account from file. What is maximum of accounts can be in ACS 4.2?
View 1 Replies View Relatedhow I can assign a static IP to a user in ACS 5.2. I am able to do it in ACS 4.2, but I don't see the same options under 5.2. General idea is that users authenticate from our VPN appliance via RADIUS, and upon authentication, their static IP is passed back to the VPN device. I can attach an arbitrary field to my local users by going to System Administration -> Configuration -> Dictionaries -> Identity -> Internal Users, but how do I get that IP address passed back when the user is authenticated via Radius?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm doing a basic setup of ACS 5.3. For now, I'm configuring backup to a local repository

How can I automatically delete old files? I need to keep only the last seven files.
I know the way to configure the ASA to fallback to LOCAL authentication, if the Radius server is not available.
Now we would like to authenticate the local users, if the user is not found in the AD. Is this possible and how can I configure this with the new policies? I tested it with "dropping" when the user is not found in the AD, but then the Radius server will be marked as "dead" and the other AD users can't login for a given period. Maybe we can configure the dead time to 0, but this is not as nice it could be.
So I've decided to utilize 802.1x on a switch module on a 2901, reasons being for mobility for a laptop and network security.
However, the 802.1x authentication occurs over the VPN Tunnel (over the Internet). What our concern is, what happens if the Internet or Tunnel goes down? I know that 802.1x does not authenticate against the IOS local DB, so what would be another option in case this scenario happened?
There will only be one device authenticating (maybe 2) and they are 2 HP Windows 7 laptops.
I have ACS 5.1 configured to authenticate users based on Active Directory. I have configured wired 802.1x too, with machine authentication enabled on ACS.When I login with credentials that exist in AD, it works fine. Then I configured Windows Authentication to ask for credentials (popup window). But I experience network disconnection when I login with a local account even though I entered correct AD credentials.I want to do the following: for an account that exist on the machine being authenticated (non-AD account), ACS should check its local database and reply with authentication success if it finds it, so the user is granted network connectivity.I heard about Identity Sequence in ACS. But I still don't see the right configuration,
