View 5 RepliesI am configuring new ACS 1121 appliance with version 5.3 and wanted to know how to configure Remote Database settings in ACS5.3 Is that necessary to configure that option ?
Also one more thing I can see that ACS 5.3 generates lots of logs is there any solution to reduce such logs. It seems many unuseful logs which are system related are getting logged into device which might no be good for memory requirements of device.
I have been doing a bit of reading on the ACS 4.2 remote agent compatibility with Windows 2008 R2, and it seems like the only way out is to upgrade the ACS to 5.2. We have Cisco ACS 4.2 SE and if I install the Remote agent on a Windows 2003 member server instead of the 2008 R2 DC.

View 2 Replies View RelatedFirstly the ACS 4.2.1 for Windows database replication does any one have and documentation on the processes required?Secondly I have a single system installed which is providing TACACS authentication for management access to a Cisco 5508 WLC, the controller prompts with a login box on connection to the web interface. When you put in the username and password pair the box comes back as if the authentication has failed. On the ACS I was unable to see any failed authentications so enabled passed authentication reporting and can see the user passing the process. The WLC is running software version 6.0.199.4. On the ACS I have added the extra two options within the TACACS interface configuration and have a ‘role1=all’ against both the user and the group the user is part of so I am confused as to why the user is still denied access.

ACS role: PRIMARY

Also, logs show nothing unusual.
We have recently upgraded acs 5.1 to 5.3 ( normal upgrade process), all secondary (ACS-B) was deregistered from primary (ACS-A , used as configuration server and log collector) and updated successfully. But while upgrading primary acs server was rebooted manually. But later primary server was re upgraded successfully to 5.3.
Just to ensure database is not lost on primary acs (ACS-A) , primary acs was registered to one of the secondary acs (ACS-B). Initially ACS-A registered with ACS-B, both ACS was showing proper role now. ACS-A ( secondary ) and ACS-B (primary). But on New primary ACS (ACS-B) is showing new secondary (ACS-A) offline and replication pending. Whereas on Secondary ACS-B its shows primary ACS-A online and updated. But ACS replication id is gradually incrementing. ACS system is in this system for last 2 day, But not sure if there is real replication happening at backend? How long it take place to replicate completely? and how to check / verify status of upgrade?
on the dashboard of the "Monitoring & Report Viewer" I see a lot of system alarms related to the database.The explanation of the alarm says to look at the Collector logs for the details.

Additionally, the Domain that I am connecting to has Multiple sub domains. All of the users are currently in the Sub domains, but will be moving to root domain later. How should I configure the connection, do I need to connec to each sub domain or can I just connect to the root?
Using a CSV file, I can not add user in the internal database of the ACS I have a permanent "error File Format Validation Failed" However the file I want to import is a really CSV file.

On Cisco ACS 5.2.0.26 Patch 10, I got this system alarm:Incremental backup is not configured. Configuring incremental backup is necessary to make the database purge successful. This will be useful to avoid disk space issues. View database Size is 2.92GB and size it occupies on the harddisk is 2.91GB
In "Monitoring Configuration > System Operations > Data Management > Removal and Backup", we got this information:
Database Purging:If database size exceeds 120 GB, a backup (if configured) and purge will be initiated. If database size exceeds 150 GB, a purge will be initiated.
Could View database size reach 120 GB ?I want to know how long will Cisco ACS works without problem and if I need to hurry to configure purge.
Is it possible to create on ACS5 rule which will:
1. Try to authenticate user in external database1 (radius)
2. When external database1 returns FAIL (because of bad password) ACS5 should try to authenticate user in another external database2 (radius)

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 am running NX-OS image n5000-uk9.5.1.3.N1.1.bin on the nexus 5020 platform.i have configured authorization with tacacs+ on ACS server version 5.2 with fall back to switch local database.a user test with priv 15 is craeted on ACS server, password test2 everything works fine, until i create the same username on the local database with privilege 0. ( it doesnt matter if the user in local database was created before user in ACS or after ) e.g.: username test password test1 role priv-0 (note passwords are different for users in both databases)
after i create the same user in local database with privilege 0,if i try to connect to the switch with this username test and password defined on ACS, i get only privilege 0 authorization, regardless, that ACS server is up and it should be primary way to authenticate and authorizate the user.
I have a weird issue. I recently setup an ASA 5510 and had SSH working. To make it easier on my VPN users I then decided I wanted to setup a Windows 2008 Network Policy Server for RADIUS authentication. Ever since I added the RADIUS part to aaa authentication, when I use SSH to connect to the ASA it will not take the local user name and password I have setup. I can however get in using a Domain user name and password. Below is the SSH and AAA configuration. Am I missing something here? The username and password in the ASA is not on the domain and it's like the ASA is not even trying LOCAL when it tries to authenticate. I want it to use the local username and password if possible. I'm kind of new to ASA's..
On another note, I have never been able to SSH in on the internal interface. I always get a "The remote system refused the connection" error message. I can only use the outside interface.
Site-ASA# sh run | in ssh
aaa authentication ssh console SERVER_RADIUS LOCAL
ssh 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 outside
ssh 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 inside
ssh timeout 60

I'd like to deploy ISE on my network and I have two big 4500R switches : a 4510R and a 4507R. A Cisco vendor told me that these last are incompatible with ISE and that I need to buy two 4500E. When I see the price of those products i'm a bit suspiscious, since I've read on that page : [URL]
Device
#Minimum OS Version
#MAB

The only thing is that the minimum RAM for the version 12.2(54)SG1 is not present because it's 64Mb and those models have 32Mb. If I buy RAM and update IOS, will ISE work properly on those devices ?
We have ACS 4.2.0.124 runnning with remote agent installed on win 2003/32 bit ent server. Now we are facing issue like logs (daily backup) from ACS to the Remote Agent is not happening properly. We usually get logs around 1 MB everyday in remote agent but sometimes we are getting 1 KB continuosly untill the services to be restarted in ACS manually.

The problem is that i had configured the ACS appliance with a remote agent to Integrate with Microsoft active directory and I installed that agent on one of our domain controls and it is working fine.
When I installed another agent on anther domain control and add it to the ACS server it appear that the remote authentication service is working on it but when try to make the new agent the primary and the old one the secondary from External database configuration all the domain users authenticated but only to one group which configured in Unknown User Policy.It appeared like it can't read any more groups from active directory.
it's possible to install ACS Remote Agent 4.2.1 on VMWare server. Is it supported by Cisco?Do you have any experience with running the remote agent on VMWare servers?

I have a Cisco ASA 5510. I have configured Cisco Anyconnect to authenticate via Windows IAS. We had an outage of that server recently and I tried to remote in via anyconnect and could not. Once the IAS server came up I could get back into the network.
Is there a command that I'm missing that will let me use Anyconnect to connect into the network even if my AAA server is down?
ACS 4.2 and remote agent was working properly two months before. But in past two months we are facing weird issue in RA server.For Somedays we are missing logs from both ACS and RA server. Once we notice this we use to restart the services in ACS to give workaround. But due to this we loose our daily logs intermittently and facing risk in without having logs.This is not like communication between ACS and RA is not at all happening. It happens properly for a week or month, but again it is going bad without any config change. CSAgent.ini file is properly configured.Full version is 4.2.1.15 and patch is 10 in acs and ra.ACS and Remote Agent Major and Patch version are same.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAt first I use ACS 4.2 to create static ip address user for remote access VPN,It's easy,just configuration it at user set>Client IP Address Assignment>Assign static IP address,but when I use ACS 5.2 I dont't know how to do it.
I try to add IPv4 address attribute to user by read "ACS 5.2 user guide" ,it says this:
Step 1Add a static IP attribute to internal user attribute dictionary:
Step 2Select System Administration > Configuration > Dictionaries > Identity > Internal Users.
Step 3Click Create.
Step 4Add static IP attribute.
Step 5Select Users and Identity Stores > Internal Identity Stores > Users.
Step 6Click Create.
Step 7Edit the static IP attribute of the user.
I just do it,but it's not work.When I use EasyVPN client to connect ASA 5520,user could success to authentication but will not get the static IP address which I configure on Internal Users,so the tunnel set up failed.I try to Configure a IP pool on ASA for ACS users get IP address,and use EasyVPN client to connect ASA , everything is OK,user authenticate successed.but when I kill IP pool coufigurations and use the "add a static IP address to user "configurations,EzVPN are failed. how to use ACS 5.2 to create a static ip address user for remote access VPN?
