We are using ACS 5.3 with two servers in a distributed solution.All logs are collected on primary server so when this server fails all logs are lost.How can I enable log on secondary server also?
View 2 RepliesMy customer has an ACS 1121 version 5.4. Now we want to install a secondary ACS 1121.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have 4 ACS 5.3 Servers connected as Primary and Secondary Servers.We use a "RSA SecurID Token Servers" External userdatabase for authentications and are able to sucessfully authenticate (vpn-)users when the requests are send from the primary ACS Server.As soon as a secondary ACS server sends the request to the RSA server the request fails. "Node verification failes"
On the RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 Server, we have created a Agent-host wich contains the 3 secondary nodes (FQDN and IP's). The "sdconf.rec" file has been installed on theprimary ACS Server and are automatically (so it looks like) replicated to all ACS Servers.Still none of the secondary server are able to authenticate the users agains the RSA server.
I have a couple of ACS 5.2 configured as active and backup and I am doing dot 1x authentication using these servers . I have configured the switch with the bellow configuration.
radius-server host 10.0.10.15 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
radius-server host 10.0.10.16 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
radius-server key 7 aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
please help to understand what will happen in switch
1) in case of primary failure
2)in case if primary returns alive .
Cisco ACS 5.2 secondary server is configured as a log collector for both primary and secondary server .Now i am facing problem in log collection from primary server .ACS secondary server is not collecting any logs from primary .

I can add one acs in europe to the deployment as secondary. When I try to add the acs in USA to the deployment - Nothing really works.
The status shown in the primary is offline (red) and status pending. It stays like this for hours. When I log in to the gui directly on the acs in USA, it still has status primary.
The two acs are transparently connected. There is WAN optimization (cisco waas) in between the two datacentres..
I have two ACS 5.2 working in redundancy Primary and Secondary my question in when my primary ACS goes down i can´t see the log in the secondary ACS. I read in the documentación that only one ACS can be configurated for working like logg collector server. Now I configurated my secondary ACS like logg collector server now when my Primary ACS goes down i can see the logg. Finally when my Secondary ACS goes down i can modified the ACS Primary Configution by show me the logg.. Is possible to do this automaticaly for show me the event logg ? when the ACS that is configurate like logg collector server goes down pass the event other ACS automatically..

I thought it may have had something to do with the rebuilt device not being joined tothe domain but it has now been joined albeit using a different ad account, but still cannot register to primary.

I have a question about the number of Cisco licenses needed in two cases for ACS 5.3 Virtual Machine.One primary + One secondary : Just one license for all or one license for the primary + another one for the secondary ?One primary + several secondaries : Just one license for all or one license for the primary + just one license for all the secondaries ?

View 3 Replies View Related I have installed 2 ACS 5.2 appliances, the two appear as Primary. When I try to register one of them with the other one using "System Administrator -> Local Operation -> Deployment Operations" I get the following message:

I have tried with both "ACSAdmin" and "admin" users with their respective passwords.
Today I ran a failover test between our primary and secondary ACS systems (ran 'acs stop' on the primary) and in the process decided to promote the secondary while I had the primary down. All was fine until I brought the primary back up and tried to re-register the secondary to it. I get the following error message: I went into System Administration >Operations >Distributed System Management on each and it showed the other device as deregestered, tried to promote from there but it failed too, so I deleted them and tried to register the secondary again. After that didn't work I tried rebooting both but that didn't work either. I know the user/pass I'm using is good and I've tried using both the IP address and the hostname.

I'm constantly seeing that the sync and replication status for my secondary admin/monitor node in the primary node as node not reachable. The secondary still thinks it is in standalone mode. When I run the ISE diag tool connectivity tests I am able successfully ping the devices from each other using both hostname and ip and the nslookup also works fine between both nodes. Ping and nslookups also work from different networks within the environment. The two nodes are in the same vlan on a 6500 vss pair but on different switches of the pair.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a pair of ACS appliances running 5.1 code. The appliances are set up as a replicated pair. I have valid local and trusted certificate authority certificates on the primary.
The trusted certificate authority certificate gets replicated to the secondary. Obviously the local certificate doesn't get replicated. I need to generate a certificate signing request on the secondary but it doesn't seem to allow you to do it.
IP address of Primary had to be changed, to respond to a hardware failure of TACACS server with IP in many device configs.
Now the Secondary fails to respond to repeated "Deregister from Primary" requests, even after reload - apparently because it cannot reach the Primary at its old IP address.
Requesting Deregister in GUI generates pop-up that says, "This operation will deregister this ACS Instance from the Primary Instance. Management applications on this ACS instance will be restarted and you will be required to login again. After performing this operation

I'm using ACS 5.4p2 within distributed systems: one primary and one secondary instance.For now, primary instance is acting as Log Collector server and I can see any AAA audit logs.
When the primary instance fails I can authenticate successfully using the secondary instance.However, when primary instance comes back, I'm not able to see any audit logs operated by secondary.
In ACS 5.1 how do I promote the secondary server to local mode if I have lost the primary server, in this scenario is it only accessible by the CLI and would you have to manually promote it so as to enable further configuration elements via the GUI? I would have thought that if the primary failed some sort of keep alive from the primary to the secondary would be lost thus making the secondary force it's own promotion but this does not seem to be the case???

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was setting a static IPs for my PCs, and for the Preferred and Alternate DNS Server addresses I looked on my router's Device Information page. It had "Primary DNS Server: 121.98.0.1", but "Secondary DNS Server:" is reported as "0.0.0.0". Router is a DIR-655:
I looked on my ISP's website and they have "121.98.0.2" listed as the Secondary Name Server/DNS:
Why does the router not report that? Is there something wrong? Should I still set 121.98.0.2 as the Alternate DNS Server in Windows?
EDIT: BTW, my modem reports both primary and secondary DNS servers on it's info page.

How to configure authentication of enable password using acs 5.3. I have installed acs 5.3 and created user and gave relevant passwords. Following config is done on router
aaa new-model
aaa authentication login default group tacacs+ local
aaa authen enable default group tacacs+ enable
tacacs-server host x.x.x.x key xxxxx
Now when I telnet router, i can authenticate username/pass with acs5.3 but when i try to enter enable command and give password, it gives me error in authentication. What is the process of configuring enable passwords?
ACS and i would like to know how to enable the "Configuration Audit" for someone login to my network devices using their ACS login and i can monitor what they did on it.

I have migrated my ACS data from 4.1 to 5.1 and everything is working fine to test the connection I have configured a switch to get the authentication from the new Tacacs server, using my old username and password..i got in perfectly but when the switch asked my for enable which is the same password, it refused the password.(I have unchecked the <use a different password for enable> option) I deleted my switch from the Tacacs to enter locally, I went in with no problems..i thought that the problem may be from the old configuration.so I created a new username and password to check, and the problem still exist.

View 10 Replies View RelatedWe have ASA configured in multi context mode, with software 8.4(2) configured for AAA Configuration is admin context as follows:
aaa-server TAC protocol tacacs+
aaa-server TAC (management) host 10.162.2.201
key *****
aaa authentication enable console TAC LOCAL
aaa authentication http console TAC LOCAL
aaa authentication serial console TAC LOCAL
aaa authentication ssh console TAC LOCAL
Because of multiple context, after logging in we enter System context. Console port authentication is working fine except access to privileged mode while connecting over console port. After issuing "enable" command ASA accepts only configured enable secret in system context and changes user ID to enable_15, so we are unable to do user-level command authorization and accounting.It seems that ASA in system context is not aware of any AAA configuration, and there isn't any command to configure AAA in system context.Is there any way to configure enable authentication over AAA in system context?
Would like to check out is it possible binding Cisco secure ACS 5.x to support router/switch ios feature view - superview and parser command
Busines objective is assigning administrative roles, with different role based CLI access, using ACS5.X as backend server. a. Admin (allow all) b. network monitor (privlege # 7, enable view that can doing various show command and configure) c. support (privlege #1, read only)
Changed my AD password and now i cannot get into the enable side of the cisco switches on our network (we have no routers).Looking on the logs for the ACS v4.2 I can see the following -
On TACACS+ Accounting you can see the connections which have worked - it the initial tty connections -
When i look in the failed attempts i see the following Auth failed - External DB user invalid or bad password or on another occasion internal error or EAP-TLS or PEAP authentication failed due to unknown CAcertificate during SSL handshake.
I am trying to get users in the external identity store (AD) to be dropped directly into enable mode after being authenticated, since I don't know of a way to set an enable password for users in an external identity store. I think it has something to do with shell attributes but I'm not realy sure.
So here's what I tried.Linking identity group to external group and provide full command priviliges - enable still didn't work Creating duplicate users in the internal identity store and setting the password type field to AD1 - That gives me the ability to get to the enable password prompt hit enter on the blank promt then prompts for Old and new passwords but fails everytime with an Error in Authentication.
I have been experimenting with acs 4.2 and a cisco asa 5510. I have managed to authenticate the ASA users with my tacacs server. The user "test" is authenticated with the tacacs server, and can log in. But the enable password is wrong, because i dont know where to place it in the tacacs server.
Now my question is, where do i set my enable password when authenticatig with tacacs+. And for this i mean in the acs 4.2, i know how to do it on the asa.
It´s possible to enable unconditional machine authentication in ACS 5.3.

We`re using a WLC 5508 with SW 7.2.103.0.The most things are working fine, but i have a problem with the web auth.
Setup:
- Max Concurrent Logins for a user name is set to 1
- Max-Login Ignore Identity Response is set to enable
- Web Authentication Type is set to customized
The Problem:
- the user "test" is logged in at device1 (working), the same user "test" try to login at device 2 (is not working, fine!) -> login is not accepted, WLC redirects to the INTERNAL Web Login Page.The problem is the redirect to the internal web login page after failed login. If i try to login with a not existing user, the redirect is working perfect to the customized web login.
