I have configured the appliance everything is working fine.We have a remote syslog server and I have configured the remote syslog server details in the "Remote Log Targets" and and Logging Categories.But I cannot see any logs on my syslog server
View 4 RepliesWe have a distributed ACS 5.3 set up - a PR and DR replicating successfully.I've set up 4 remote syslog targets. 2 of them are at the same site as the PR ACS and 2 are at the same site as the DR ACS.The logging collector is set on the PR ACS.
The problem is that it "appears" that PR ACS is only sending PR ACS syslog info to one of the remote syslog targets out of the four.
The syslog target which does receive from the PR ACS is at the same site as the PR ACS.
"appears" means that some one has looked on the syslog targets to see what's been received / or not received.
I've been told that the syslog traffic for syslog targets is being received from the DR ACS. Which is strange as the PR ACS is the actual log collector (and is not at the same site as the DR ACS).
I've also got Alarm Syslog targets set up on the PR ACS , (2 are the same ip addresses used in the 4 remote syslog targets). IP addresses of the remote syslog targets have been double checked and can be pinged from each ACS (PR and DR).
I´m currently looking for a document that specify how many MAC addresses can be stored and authenticated via an ACS (1120)? I prefer to use the internal identity store over AD or LDAP for MAB authentication for 802.1X project. I would like to know what is the impact on the ACS? CPU/MEM? What is the impact on the user authentication? delay, timeout, etc.

Is there any option to enable ICMP Ping response on cisco acs 1120 . else any patch to be upgraded to perform this action , my requirement is enable ICMP ping on acs appliance for troubleshooting . instead always check with telnet x.x.x.x 2002 for service responding
I encountered some strange issues with one of our appliances in the field. Reinstalled and encountered the strange issues. No errors.. did some memory test and the seagate harddisk test and encountered SMART errors. The device didn't log those errors anywhere.. First reason to check the second harddisk. The appliance is shipped with two so the first thing I was thinking of was RAID. I saw that raid wasn't configured. Try to boot the second harddisk and saw that nothing was on that disk.. so what is the mean reason you got two of those? Got the new machine and try some options to configure RAID.You got two options.. didn't see this before, most of the time you got only one option. Raid driver on or no RAID configuration at all. First tried the intel storage matrix, configured both of the disks for mirror and install the ACS 5.2. The machine boots after installs and rejects the DVD. Result: The installation doesn't boot! Checked the partition with gparted but the partition is active (or flagged as boot) Second option was LSI, got the raid configured for mirror and the installation was also completed. Result: working installation. Tried to test if the installation is still working after removing one of the disks. Appliance is complaining the the RAID is missing one disk (so this works). After that the machine tries to boot, result: no working ACS.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an ACS applicance that had a version 5.1 and i did an upgrade to 5.3 with latest patch.For some reason, the runtime process got stuck in (reinitializing and restarting) state.i did the recommended action to perform ACS stop and ACS start and even hard reset of the appliance, but it did not cut itThis process turned out to be a bug and it should have been fixed in version 5.3, but it has not i guess
i know that acs reset-config will solve the issue, but i have a problem here , the license file will be deleted as well with the config and i cannot find a way to export the license and then import it into the reseted config ACS hardware. Unfortunately, the license file is not saved anywhere in the company and i cannot affort to lose it.how to export the license from the applicance (CSACS-1120)?
i am configuring a Cisco Secure ACS 1120 appliance running ACS 5.0.0.21 to handle RADIUS request from a Cisco WLC 5508 appliance running version 7.0.116.0.these devices have open communication on all ports - no firewalls or ACL'sthey have successful ping communication The following statements illustrate some but not all the debugging I have done to ensure each device functions as it should in isolation.Using a simple windows RADIUS server (radserv2.exe) instead of the Cisco ACS This works and the WLC gets RADIUS response from my makeshift serverUsing a simple windows EAP client to query the ACS using RADIUS protocol this works and the ACS processes the RADIUS request and sends a responsePlaced a wireshark client on the network to inspect timeout. Wireshark logs the packet from the WLC to the ACS using port 1812 but doesn't see any packet responses from the ACS At the moment I have the WLC accepting the association from the wireless client and sending the RADIUS (PEAP, EAP-FAST or EAP-TLS) request to the ACS, the WLC receives no response and generates a timeout message and disassociates from the client. note this is not a reject or similar message, the ACS simple does not even process the packet. i.e. there is absolutely nothing in the ACS logs to suggest it even received a radius packet from the WLC. In summary the WLC and the ACS successfully function independently but they do not communicate via radius.

On "Monitoring and Report" page in Faverite Reports when i clicking on "Authentications - RADIUS - Today", My browser displays error "Error while reading skin-access.config. Please make sure the file exists and conforms to the schema specified"
I must also mention that I never upgraded the version of ACS from 5.0 also from command line all the acs services are running. It is running on CISCO 1120 Secure Access Controll Server apliance.
My second question is can I upgrade the version of ACS to 5.4 with Cisco Secure ACS 5 Base License?
When attempting to register an ACS instance to a primary (via System Administration -> Operations -> Local Operations -> Deployment Operations), I receive the following error as a popup in my browser:
"This System Failure occurred: /opt/CSCOacs/db/acs.crt (No such file or directory). Your changes have not been saved.Click OK to return to the list page."
I had 2 ACS 1120 appliances clustered, 1 suffered a hardware failure about a year ago so I replaced it with a VM. That one is now the primary. I'm now wanting to replace the secondary instance (the remaining 1120 appliance) with a VM as well. I removed the current appliance from the network, installed the VM using the same IP address, and attempted to register. It failed as per the above error. After trying this a number of times, I then decided to return the 1120 appliance to secondary status and attempted to register it with the same results as above.
I have an acs 5.0 running on Cisco 1120 appliance. It has worked for 2 years. Suddenly, I discovered that user can no longer login with their credentials. On close examination, when I console, the booting does not complete. Screen shot attached.
View 3 Replies View Relatedi have 4 X ACS-1120. Each 2 are operating as an Primary and backup. I want to add a license in order for the ACS to support more than 500 networks which includes in the base license.As I understand this is the license required : L-CSACS-5-LRG-LIC=

Is this license applicable to ACS-1120 appliance with ver 5.2 ? – I understand that it is. for my scenario, do I need to purchase total of 2 X L-CSACS-5-LRG-LIC= (one for each environment, one license will serve 2 X ACS in Primary and Backup) or I need to purchase 4 licenses each for each ACS ? – I understand that one license will serve deployment of two ACS in primary and active scenario.
I'm trying to join a band new CSACS-1120 to our active directory without success. The process in it self should be pretty straigh forward, but so far no luck.
I've configured the relevant info under "Users and Identity Stores > External Identity Stores > Active Directory.
Active Directory Domain Name: xxx.com
Username/Password : domain administrator account
When I test connection I get a info dialog "This machine is currently connected to domain xxx.com".After which I try to save changes which gives a reply ""This System Failure occurred: {0}. Your changes have not been saved. Click OK to return to the list page."
I've noticed that in the system log "show logging system tail" that I get a exception as soon as I enter the AD configuration page and subsequently every time I perform a action on that section.
Why the AD join keeps on failing and what the debug exception I'm getting means?

The problem is that i had configured the ACS appliance with a remote agent to Integrate with Microsoft active directory and I installed that agent on one of our domain controls and it is working fine.
When I installed another agent on anther domain control and add it to the ACS server it appear that the remote authentication service is working on it but when try to make the new agent the primary and the old one the secondary from External database configuration all the domain users authenticated but only to one group which configured in Unknown User Policy.It appeared like it can't read any more groups from active directory.

ACS 4.2 and remote agent was working properly two months before. But in past two months we are facing weird issue in RA server.For Somedays we are missing logs from both ACS and RA server. Once we notice this we use to restart the services in ACS to give workaround. But due to this we loose our daily logs intermittently and facing risk in without having logs.This is not like communication between ACS and RA is not at all happening. It happens properly for a week or month, but again it is going bad without any config change. CSAgent.ini file is properly configured.Full version is 4.2.1.15 and patch is 10 in acs and ra.ACS and Remote Agent Major and Patch version are same.
