Cisco AAA/Identity/Nac :: ACS 1120 Running 5.0.0.21 RADIUS Timeout With WLC 7.0?
Aug 29, 2011
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.

i am trying to test EAP_TLS authentication on acs 4.2.1.15 running on Appliance 1120 , I have installed my server certficate along with CA certficate on my appliance box , I have enabled features of EAP_TLS under golbal authentication setup .
I have downloaded client supplicant certficate file for my windows XP machine .When i tried to authenticated i am finding following error message under failed attempts(EAP-TLS or PEAP authentication failed due to unknown CA certificate during SSL handshake) on my acs appliance box .Under certficate revocation list , I have forced my CA as CRL in use . Attached snap shot of all .

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.

We have downgraded cisco acs appliance 1120 from ACS 5.0 to ACS 4.2.1.15 , when we perform ICMP ping request to acs appliance its not responding , But i can do ping test from acs appliance on console mode not from GUI mode .
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.

I 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 have problem with ACS 5.0 on reporting. 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 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?

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)

I have an SG300-20 here for testing (firmware: 1.1.2.0, boot version: 1.0.0.4, language version: 1.1.1.6 English). Everything seems to work on it, except, that if I choose Radius authentication by mac address only, then the switch does not honor the Idle-Timeout and Session-Timeout attributes from the Radius server (freeradius).
The setup is the following: I have a no name access point plugged in to switch port gi1. The port gi1 is set up for Radius authentication by mac address only. The access point itself is authenticated, no problem with that. If I connect through the access point by (say) a mobile phone, it is authenticated, no problem. The radius server does send the Idle-Timeout and Session-Timeout attributes, I checked it by running "freeradius -X", both are set to 30 seconds. Then I turn off the wireless card in my mobile phone and check the dot1x users by "show dot1x users". My mobile phone's mac address remains there for 5-10 minutes, so the Idle-Timeout and Session-Timeout does not work.
Another way I could resolv this problem is by explicitely asking the switch to reauthenticate the user. Unfortunately there is no CLI command to do just that, I can do however a reauthentication on a port using "dot1x re-authenticate gi1" (for example). But it does not work as it is expected: the switch uses the stored mac-address to reauthenticate the user, so nothing changes on the port (unless something changes in the radius server). I think it should work like the following: remove the authenticated user from the port, and whenever that mac address makes some network traffic, then reauthenticate as if it were a completely new connection. BTW: it would work for me also if I could just remove an authenticated user from a port, but I did not find a command to do that.
As a last resort I can simply shutdown the port, bring it up again ("shutdown" and "no shutdown" in the interface config), then all users are removed from the port and they all mush reauthenticate. But it causes a network outage for a couple of seconds for all users on that port, on a busy access point it is quite disturbing, and it is not an elegant way to do this.
So my actual question is: is there a way to remove an authenticated user either automatically (Idle-Timeout and Session-Timeout) or manually from this switch?
I enclose the relevant part of the running config.
interface range gi1-2
dot1x host-mode multi-sessions
exit
vlan database
vlan 2-4
exit

I have ACS 1120 ACS appliance running ACS version 5.2.0.26.5 ,authenticating VPN users connecting from internet using radius protocol , we have requirement that VPN user account should be disabled by a specific date , Means user ID should be revoked when their contract expire connecting to our data center .
I know this feature is available on ACS version 4.2.,but i could not this feature set on ACS 5.2.0 when user account is created , whether any new sepicfic patch has this feature enabled after acs version 5.2.0.26.5.
With out this feature this set , i cannot ensure ID are revoked automatically ,when specific date come in to end user.

I need this SSL certficate installation on my acs appliance 1120 for PEAP clients.I have exported SSL server certficate from my old acs 3.3 server which is under acscertstore folder issued by CA vendor . I need to reuse this same SSL certificate on my acs appliance .ACS appliance certficate setup requires following two certificate to be installed for PEAP clients authentication
1) Server Certificate
2) CA certificate
Server Certificate : For server certifcate , I have my old certificate which is exported from my old acs 3.3 server , when i tried to download my server certficate via ftp server on my acs appliance , its looking for private key & private key file .Private key & file is generated intially on CSR request when this server certificate is requested to CA vendor for my old acs 3.3 . I dont know the private key password . If i need private key & file , then i need to generate new CSR from my acs appliance and i need to submit this CSR output to my CA vendor to generate new SSL server certificate .which is something like new server certificate request .CA certficate : For CA certficate , when i open my existing SSL certificate under detials tab in CRL distribution point , i could see below URL . whn i open this URL it giving certificate revocation list . [1]CRL Distribution Point.

I have several devices on the same subnet and with similar configuration. All of them were entered manually on the ACS server and are configured to authenticate using TACACS+. Some of the devices can authenticate ok, but other will timeout. I did a tcpdump on the firewall port and can see the device sending the SYN to the ACS server but the server sends no reply to the device.

my current setup: Windows XP machines authenticating wireless using 802.1X to a Cisco ACS 5.3 that redirects the request to Microsoft Active Directory. All the statements that I make below are what I have gathered from reading on forums, some of them might be incorrect.
In the ACS Under “External Identity Stores” and “Active Directory”, there is a check box called “Enable Machine Access Restrictions” if it is checked and the Aging time is set to 8 hours and a Windows XP machine authenticates using it’s Domain credentials it will gain access to the network but if that computer is not rebooted after the 8 hours is up, Windows XP will not send it machine credentials again, it will only send the user/pass of the user and will loose access to the network. The problem we have is that most of the users do not shutdown their computers when they go home, they hibernate the computers thus when they come back to the school the 8 hours aging time on the ACS has expired. The ACS expects to see the Windows XP machine send it’s domain credentials again but from every forum I have read on, Windows XP will not send it again until it get rebooted (FYI, Windows 7 will send the proper info, thus they work just fine). In the mean time I have changed the aging time to 8760 hours but this should only be temporary because it is a security risk to have the aging time set so high. Moving forward what are my options to make this work properly?
-Is there a way to fix Windows XP?
-Is there a recommendation on how to bypass this issue but still give us decent security?
-Is setting the aging time so high, a non security issue?
-I guess worst case scenario, the customer can try to educate all the students and staff to reboot their machines every morning?

We're having trouble trying to deploy 802.1x authentication on a brand new site.
Our primary and secondary ACS are located in Paris and the new site located in Toulouse, France. Both sites are connected through the WAN. Everytime a computer/user connects to this new site in Toulouse, ACS 5.2 sends a "5411 EAP session timeout" error message.

I'm trying to configure a timeout for network connection, but when it suppose to disconnect client, it's not working. Is it possible to do this??
Only works when the client is connecting and is denied if the time is not valid. But how could I do this if the client is already connected, enable re-authentication?

I am using ISE 1.1.3.124.My first question:I want to know the relation between the attribute "WasMachineAuthenticated" and the MAR (MAchine access restriction in advanced setting for AD).Is-it the same or not ?Once you time out, you need to do machine auth again. What is the timer ?Using the attribute "WasMachineAuthenticated", is-it the same timer that you configure in MAR ? In a distributed environnement, is the information about machine previously authenticated replicated to all policy node ?Because, if a swicth has 2 radius-server, we are not sure that it will point everytime to the same server.

[Env on my lab investigation]
supplicant - W7 with cert
authenticator - Catalyst 2960 with IOS 15.0(1)SE2 /newest/
authentication server 2x - W2008/NPS like a RADIUS server
The problem is the end station that are still connected to the supplicant port /use a EAP-TLS/ after the reboot supplicant! All of them will be put into the Guest VLAN instead of static VLAN 34!
[The question]
What is wrong and how to configure/tune and what authenticator or authentication server to prevent after the reboot to observe a authentication timeouts? Of course the supplicant after 20 minutes /next EAPOL start farmet put into VLAN 34.

Our company has installed ACS Version: 5.1.0.44.6 Internal Build ID: B.2347 with patches: 5-1-0-44-5, 5-1-0-44-6. The security policy of our company includes a password change every 3 months. Our programmers had written a script that allows us to do it. When testing revealed that the script does not work. This is due to the fact that it is not possible to enter the mode "acs-config". In determining the reasons it was found that to enter this mode there is a limit on sessions (6 sessions). When the number of connections becomes larger than 6 then the script does not work. The documentation says that the update is not active sessions is set with terminal session-timeout. In this case, the terminal session-timeout 30. But after 30 minutes of the session will remain active. It interferes with our script.

We have 2 ACS 4.2.1 servers in Windows 2003 with SP2 installed. We have updated the first ACS to the latest patches for Windows. After that we started having problems. CSRadius either stops by itself or when some time passes we get the following error in Failed attempts "Unknown error". When we restart the ACS services by the GUI, it resumes until the next time it stops.Do you happen to know if we have any bugs related to Windows patches?
