I can add a ACS 5.1 to an Active Directory without using the administrator account, I have a domain administrator account by another name. I can use this account to include the ACS domain.
I have a account domain admin but when i try to add the ACS to AD have this message "can not resolve network address"
The DNS and network connectivity its OK
We are using ASA5520 as our VPN concentrator and has configured IPSec authentication using digital certificates with Microsoft CA for the remote access VPN. The AAA server used for remote user authentication is Windows Active Directory. Screenshot of the AAA configuration is attached. The problem we face is that the "Login DN" account (marked in red box in the screenshot) is frequently getting locked out in the active directory. I have confirmed that the password is the same on both ends and the account is not used any where else.
The NTP server configured for the VPN concentrator is the Active Directory itself but no accounts are configured (not required) for updating the time service in the concentrator.
We are using ACS 5.2 and we are trying to create a Microsoft Active Directory (AD) Identity Store. We have a user to be used in the Active Directory creation General page and we would like to know how the test communication / ACS to AD communication takes place.
Our user is a predefined user in AD and has admin rights, but the password expires every 60 days. Will this affect the communication between AD and ACS 5.2 at everytime the entered user's password expires?
I have installed ACS 5.2 and configured it to join the Company's Domain as an External database with Active directory 2008. I'm facing a problem that the user once authenticated using it's active directory account it's cached in the ACS and take a while for the ACS to clear this username. For example, if user TEST authenticates and then we removed this user from the AD and then tried again; it authenticates although this users is removed from the AD !!! same thing happens when we change the user group on the AD, it takes a while for the ACS to clear the old user attributes and get the new ones from the AD.
it there an aging time for this caching mechanism, or can i clear the dynamic users manually just like in ACS 4.X ?
I am receiving a RADIUS authentication failure stating user must change password; however, password has been changed in AD and is not requiring change password any longer on the AD side.
Is there a cache on the ACS that needs to be cleared? AD connection from ACS to domain is fine. All other accounts authenticate.
It appears that if a user lets their account expire is when this happens. Account has been reenabled in AD and password has been changed. Still will not authenticate via ACS.
I'm attempting to integrate an acs 5v into the domain through the gui. The connection will establish, and the status will read 'connected', just as it lists the domain I've submitted. However, I can't seem to find anything listed under the directory groups, and when I run a connection test, I simply get 'Global Catalogue port status error.' Eventually, I'd like to configure this as a radius server.
View 1 Replies View Relatedquestion 1. in the typical active directory environment and doing wireless/wired 802.1x authentication on endpoints, should ACS join as a domain computer?
question 2. for the endpoint (domain computer) join the domain, in this case is the endpoint will trust the ACS ( also domain computer) ?
question 3. what if there's a GPO policy to install the rootCA certificate toward the endpoints. In this case, ACS should issue the CSR and let the domain CA to signed as the identity certificate? Am i correct?
I am working with ACS 5.2 and using Radius authentication for vpn client.
The authentication method used is Active Directory in an Windows enviroment with multiple domains in the same forest.
My problem occurs when i change a user from one group to another in Active Directory. After that i receive the following message when try to connect:
15039 Selected Authorization Profile is DenyAccess
The message is because match the default policy. Another user in the same AD group works fine. All domain in the forest have trust relation each other. I am using universal groups to include users from all domain belongs this forest.
A customer uses Active Directory where some group names contain special characters (ç ~ '^). The Cisco ACS 5.2 is presenting the warnings: "Not all Active Directory user groups are retrieved successfully. One or more of thegroup's canonical name was not retrieved "(Category CSC Oacs_ Identity_ Stores_Diagnostics; code 24457).
What are the results of these warnings to the customer's network? Slow? Loss of access?

View 13 Replies View RelatedI have just recently purchased a 5505 Controller and 30 3502i AP's. On my main corporate WLAN, I would like to allow users to be able to authenticate via Active Directory username and password.I am also looking for as little client side set up as possible. From what I have researched, I will need to use some type of EAP method.
I have come across two methods that appear to be the top contenders.
EAP-FAST - The method seems to be a possibility but I see that it uses certificates. If I use this method, does it mean that I would have to import the certificates to each machine manually? Also, can I configure thsi to work with just the 5508 Controller and an AD Database server or do I need an intermediary like IAS or ACS?
PEAP/GTC - This method is also a possibility and I think that it does not require certificates. Does this also require an intermediary like ACS or IAS.
i have installed system (Windows Server 2003) and i have configure Active directory for testing and configure one user under it ( TEST01)now on the same machine i have installed Cisco ACS 4.2.i'm trying to Authenticate (TEST01) using ACS but it's not working, i can't even see the logs under EVENTVIWER. simple and easy to configure since both AD and ACS is on the same machine.

View 3 Replies View Relatedcustomer provide quite large network with dot1x deployment - there is dual ACS5.3 servers for authentication Wired, VPN and WiFi access. Users (and computers) are mostly authenticated against Active Directory - there are several AD servers in the network.I found there is tens of cases every day with error message:24401 Could not establish connection with ACS Active Directory agent.This happens in random day and night time regardless on current authentication load. how to diagnose this more deeply? Or where to look for – is it problem with internal communication with AD Agent or is the problem in communication AD agent to AD servers? How is solved redundancy in case one AD server is not accessible – as there is no such setting in the AD connection configuration in ACS.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI know that our VPN users currently use Active Directory to authenticate their VPN sessions, so now I'm wondering if there is an easy way to configure my company's Cisco ASA 5510 to use either a Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory group (preferred method) or specific Active Directory users (less preferred) and authenticate them for management access (privilege level 15) using their Active Directory credentials. I do not want this to change the IP range used for ASDM/HTTPS/Telnet/SSH access (currently all local networks, no VPN), as those are settings that my company does not want changed.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to implement ACS 5.2 using 802.1X, we have two seperate AD domains.A single switch will need to support both ADs, so if a machine in AD1 is connected, it will be authenticated to the ACS using AD1 and applied to VLAN1, while a machine that is in AD2 will be authenticated to AD2 and applied to VLAN 2.
I'm looking at machine authentication, not user authentication, so I assume that I will need to import two certs from each AD.
Recently our ACS loss connection to AD. Notice following error message (collect from show tech):

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?

we've configured an ACS 5.1 and integrated it with active directory Win2K3, we created two groups in the AD for managing network devices one for Administrators and the other for operators (read-only), so we configured a device admin policy and both groups work fine, but now we are facing a little problem any user who exists in the AD can login (user exec mode) in the network devices and we want to restric the login with the policy, but we just don't know how. Is there a way to get a user be authenticated against external group or internal acs but at user level, just like you can do it in the ACS 4.X?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set up a small domain for my business. I just purchased a Windows 2008 server and would like to use it as my domain controller.Also, I just had a new ATT DSL line put in. It came with a 2Wire modem/4-port router/wireless router device, therefore the modem can handle DHCP. The line has a static IP address as well so that I can eventually use my own exchange server and web server.I have tried 2 different configurations and couldn't get either to work) I tried to put the router into Bridged Mode and use DHCP server on my server using a PPPoe connection to connect to the Internet. I was confused as to what my static IP address and default gateway of my server should be.2) Then I tried to turn DHCP server off on the server and routing back on the modem/router. This didn't work either.What method would you recommend and why? Also I have some additional questions on each method.
Method 1)
* What is the static IP address of the server. Is it in the 192.168.1.x address or the static IP assigned to my account?
* Do I need a second Nic Card And Router to connect to the rest of my network or can I use the router provide
* What would the Static IP addresses of the additional PC be. Do I need more than 1 static IP from AT&T Method 2)
* Will this allow me to use all internal IP addresses on my machines and use port forwarding if I want a specific box to be a web server or exchange server.
I know that when you create a user account in active directory, the user's computer is also added to active directory. However, in what circumstance would you add a computer to active directory in which there are no user accounts created, or used ?For instance, my Linksys wrt54g router, on the main configuration tab has a space to name the router, which is appropriate called, "Linksys", and it has space to enter it's domain name, which if I named it, I guess it would be. LinksysRouter.**.local.Why add a router to an active directory domain ?Why add any other computer to an active directory domain with no users associated with it ?
