Cisco AAA/Identity/Nac :: ACS 5.1 Directory Groups 2008 R1
Jun 13, 2011
I have an ACS 5.1 and am trying to integrate with windows 2008 R1. The ACS has a valid AD account and indicates that its connected but when I try to list any directory groups my windows IE browser hangs?
Recently I've been working with the ACS 5.2 (Installed on VMWare). At the beginning I was using a Win Server 2003 Enterprise edition AD, and there was no problem with the AD and the CA Authority. Because some of my customers use Win Server 2008 I change the AD platform to Win Server 2008 Enterprise edition (x64).I don't really have a great experience with Win Server Platforms and, for what I've seen, the Win Server 2003 Services deployment is easier than the Win Server 2008 is.
So, when I used the Win server 2003 I could not only synchronize the ACS with the AD but also use some groups created on the AD to perform the Network Access Authentication. When I try to do the same with the Win Server 2008 AD the ACS and the Server get Synchronized but when I want to add the groups for the Authentication purposes there is no one, absolutely nothing... so I cannot do any test.Also I looked for information about the compatibility between the ACS 5.2 and the Win Server 2008 platforms and at the end the platforms are compatibles.
We are still running ACS 4.1 on Window 2003 server. We recently upgraded AD to 2008 although the domain and forest functional level are still 2003. After AD upgrade we now unable to authenticate via ACS Windows Database.
it is possible to create a Windows Active Directory group of users which I can use to permit access through the ASA (5520) firewall? I only can find vpn authentication with Radius but nog specific information about granting AD groups internet access via the ASA.

We are planning to upgrade CORP Domain from Windows 2003 Active Directory Schema to Windows 2008 R2 Active Directory Schema.
I wanted to know if the following applications which are installed on windows (domain member servers) are compatible with windows 2008 server R2 schema?

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 ACS 5.2 running as a VM. I'm AD, then local authentication successfully for device access, but I want to define ACS user groups to restrict login. I don;t see any way to do this. If I use AD groups, they don;t show up as selection options on the policy screens, just the ACS locallyy defined groups.
I've run into an annoying issue with my ACS 5.2 install. I can no longer add directory groups in the AD settings, the ACS comes back with "The item you are trying to delete is referenced by other items.You must remove all references to this item before it can be deleted." but I am not deleting any group, just adding.
Could probably be cleared with removing the AD setup completely, which for obvious reasons is not something I want to do.
We are running two ACS appliances but we cannot figure out how we can add a user into 2 differents groups.Here's the context :We have a company A which is having devices, this company uses Group A.then we have a company B which is having devices, this company uses Group B.But the admin has to manage the devices for both companies A & B.We don't want to mix devices from company A with company B.Is there a way to add the user into both groups A & B.
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 have seen similar references to this issue, but no concrete solutions. My new ACS appears to join my domain with little or no issues, however, when I go to list the groups nothing is ever listed.Running ACS as a vm.I have set the ntp server on the ACS server to match my domain.I can ping all domain controllers/DNS servers.nslookup resolves hostnames of my domain controllers
***Update***
I verified that a computer account for my ACS is in fact being created, however, I am receiving some Kerberos errors on my DC with the FSMO roles:
Description:While processing an AS request for target service krbtgt, the account <ACS SERVER> did not have a suitable key for generating a Kerberos ticket (the missing key has an ID of 1). The requested etypes were 17. The accounts available etypes were 23 -133 -128 3 1.
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.
question 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?
configure the Cisco ACS to authenticate the users from MS Active Directory. Cisco Acs = 4.2.1(15)Currently, i have multiple users configured as local databse. but now i want to authenticate with the domain users.
I have been tasked with migrating from ACS 4 to ACS 5.3. I havent had any training and so i am finding it a bit different. Currently i have this issue -
I have a group in the ACS 4 for users accessing via wireless on the ACS - Code...
I'm trying to setup ACS 5.2 with an ASA v8.3.2 to lock users into VPN groups based on a users AD group. I've tried various combinations but the group lock isn't working. I've done steps 1 & 2 ...
1) Network Devices and AAA Clients -> Define VPN
2) Users and Identity Stores -> Setup AD and Directory Groups, test connection
Policy Elements:
Q1) Policy Elements - Do I need an authorization profile for each group:
Q2) What RADIUS attributes should I use to match my ASA tunnel-groups?
I am trying to set up RA VPN on ASA 8.4 with 2 groups - VPNGp1 and VPNGp2. VPNGp1 users will access 1.2.3.0/24 and VPNGp2 users will access 5.6.7.0/24. User authentication will happen using ACS 5.3 Radius.
On ASA, I have configured the IP pools, VPN ACLs, VPN groups, group policies for each group, and tunnel groups.
On ACS, I have created vpn-user1 and vpn-user2 for each of 2 groups.
I am not sure if some more configuration needs to be done on ASA and ACS... Do I need to add new users - vpn-user1 and vpn-user2 - on ASA, under each corresponding group policy, using vpn-group-policy command? Or I need to do something else on ACS?
Lastly, how can I configure authorization and accounting for the VPN users? Do I need to do this on ACS or on ASA?
Rather than maintaining local accounts is it possible to authenticate admins against AD? I'm talking about administrators of the ACS server itself to be clear.
I've successfully integrated ACS 5.3 with Active Directory for 802.1x implementation. Now i want to cache Active Directory users in ACS so that the user request from ACS does not go to AD every time.
After a certain time period the ACS database gets sync with AD.
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"
I 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 multiple campuses and a Central Admin...I've created Groups for all, except I need a few devices within Central to be available to the Campus Admins... (ie..a Cisco WCS System) How do I allow a device to be put into multiple NDG groups?
We are running ACS 4.0 so understandably so we are looking to upgrading to a Cisco supportable version of ACS. The limitation of our current version of ACS does not support nested AD groups. The latest version of ACS (I think it is 5.4) will?
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.
I need to change the username and password ACS uses to connect to AD. I do a "clear configuration" and reboot and am unable to join the ACS appliance back into my AD with a different username and password. I am able to rejoin the ACS machine to the domain using the original username and pass. how to clear all of the AD config off of the appliance and start fresh and use a new account to join AD?
