I have recently enabled the SMTP alert function in ACS 5.3. It seems to work well for most of the alerts. One thing though, the active sessions are over limit warning that comes up every so often. I know it is not impacting operations and it is ACS's way of clearing out sessions that had no accounting stop, but how do I disable this alert from being sent by e-mail from ACS 5.3?

I've looked at the forum posts and the document post, and I understand the explanations. My question is, under system administration>max user session global settings, would setting a timeout (say 1 hour) purge these sessions?
Under access policies, I am not enforcing max concurrent sessions per user, due to some of our devices using a generic log in. But if I understand the explanation, and my understanding might be wrong, then setting an expiry timeout should purge the accounting sessions, right?
We are using ACS 5.1 and from time to time we are getting a warning saying that the active sessions are over the limit (250000). It is just a warning, so my assumption is that its not a big deal, but how do we keep from getting the event, or prevent the event?

I have a WAP321 here, which is running at firmware version 1.0.3.4. The E-Mail Alert setup works for me, meaing I receive notification E-Mails from the Access Point. I am wondering however, why those E-Mails are blank, meaning, I only receive header information (to, from, date, subject) but no body content. I was expecting to receive the error message as content of the E-Mail Alert.

How to limit maximum SSL VPN sessions per group-policy on ASA5510?
There are 2 group-policy: in one maximum of 10 connections, in the second - 15 (In total licenses for SSL VPN 25 connections).
We are using ACS 5.1 in our network. We have created users and grouped them as per the requirements. We want to restrict the user sessions in the network. A user should authenticate and able to access a network resource. But when he is active with that session, we need to block him from another successful authentication. We want to avoid multiple users using same user credentials for logging into the devices. whether this can be achieved by making configuration changes in ACS.

we need to configure max session per user, but there is only a global option applyed to all users.how can we configure user accounting? we need to know how long a user is connected via vpn session.
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?
Is there a way I can get the ACS (5.3) to email some of it's reports on a schedule?I'm hoping to send automated summaries of failed logins to the service desk each Monday morning.

View 21 Replies View RelatedI 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 ?
Seems to me that regardless of the command set that once you allow a user into Config mode all bets are off. I want to allows certain users only certain actions (like assinging ports to a different vlan) but once in Config mode none of them matter, and the user has free reign.
1. Is it even possible to restrict which commands a users has under Config mode?
2. If so, is there a specific way withing ACS 5.3 or on the router/switch itself that this needs to be defined?
I have a pair of ASA 5520s operating in failover pair as active/standby, having two contexts on them. I am planning to share the load and make it active/active making first context active on the primary unit and second context active on the secondary unit. My question is if this will disrupt any connectivity thru these firewalls when I do "no failover" on the active/standby and assign the contexts to different failover groups and enable the failover back.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
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.
View 11 Replies View Relatedwe have TACACS+ based AAA on our network equipment, authenticating against internal user database on a network of ACS 5.3s.What I want is to limit certain AAA users (namely automated tools) to be only permitted to authenticate from a list of known IPs.I can do this for authorization, easily, that isn't a problem. The problem is to only accept authentication attempts coming from certain IPs and ignore the rest. My problem is, as it is currently, the automated tools are prone to a sort of a DoS attack - if I attempt logging in to any device using the tool's user account and a wrong password, I can get the account disabled in five tries.
I want to ignore all authentication attempts, unless they are coming from well known source IPs.Ex: netmon user is the user for a tool running on server 10.20.30.40. If I try to log in from my own laptop with user netmon, it should fail, and the attempt ignored. Currently after five (or whatever is configured) failed attempts, the user will be disabled. Oly attempts from 10.20.30.40 should be considered for user netmon.I can't use ACLs on the devices, as I want other users to be able to log in from other IPs.
it is possible de use two servers ACS 5.2 (primary and secondary) in active/ active? or just in active/ passive?
