Cisco AAA/Identity/Nac :: ASA4.2 - ACS Backup On Map Drive
Feb 8, 2012
I have ACS 4.2 on vmware machine, everything is working fine. Automatically backup is already set on local machine, but the thing is, i want to configure automatically backup on my file server (ex. \1.1.1.1acsbackup). Even though i have defined the acsbackup folder through map drive but no success. when i define the above string in the backup location directory, it shows an error (no directory exists). How do i configure file server or map drives on acs & save daily backup on fileserver

I am not sure whether this is the right category to which I should submit my question, but I couldn't find a section for "other software support" or anything like that.I am running Windows SBS 2003 at one of my clients and we are using Syncback as the backup software to backup important files and folders that gets written to the server on a daily basis.Now we are using two external drives for this purpose, alternating the two every second day, for improved security.However...I have set up the backup profiles exaclty with the same configurations and everything...everything is identical. But the backup to one of my drives does not want to perform giving the error : "the folder on the destination drive does not exist and can't be created"The folder does exist though, and what puzzles me is that running the backup manually or even copying files manually from the same server backup folders to the drive works perfectly, but when running the scheduled backup, it fails...and yes, the logon and authentication is set to "run as administrator" and the username and password is entered correctly.Like I said, the configs of the two drives are exactly the same, and the backup to the other drive works perfectly.I am using the Syncback free version, and support for the free version on the 2Brightsparks website is unavailable

When i connect my Seagate Backup Plus Drive to the USB port on my EA3500 the drive becomes available on my network but it never spins down even when not in use. Is there any way to correct this? If the drive spins 24/7 its going to die very fast.

How is possible do complete backup of current machine (user database and system config)? Is it possible via Gui or has to be done CLI access?After upgrade will be on machine previous config and database or or will be appliance completelly re-imaged?

I've been setting up building and testing our new ACS 5.x boxes and I've been running into a spot of bother with the backup restore feature. This most likely due to my unfamiliarity with the tool.
As part of my testing for Backup/Restore, I first backup the data using the Removal and backup tool in Secure ACS View (found under data management. I then confirm that the new FULL backup has been populated my test repository and is available in the restore feature. (also under Data Management) My next step is to create a few test Network Device Groups, Identity groups, and users Then I go back to the restore feature select the Back up file I just created, I also check the box Skip View Database backup before Restore and hit the restore button.
The box goes through the expected steps including a reload. When it comes back up I would expect the test users, groups etc I created after the last backup to be gone as they did not exist at that time. Although I find the opposite is true. Any settings I made after the last backup are still present. I do not have incremental backups enabled.
I essentially want to test a backup of the database of users and groups/rules etc make changes and then restore that database to the previous backed up configuration.

Due to some wrong access policy applied in the administration control settings. GUI access is not functioning. So we need to take a backup thru CLI mode using FTP server. I have tried using the backup command in the console & taken the backup using the following steps. But the backup file is less than 1kb. I need the exact Db backup to be taken.
Step 1 Log in to the ACS SE. For more information, see Logging In to the Solution Engine from a Serial Console.Step 2 At the system prompt, enter backup and press Enter.Tip You can enter the following parameters after the command or in response to subsequent prompts: [server] [username] [filepath]Step 3 At the Enter FTP Server Hostname or IP Address: prompt, enter the FTP server IP address or hostname, and press Enter.Step 4 At the Enter FTP Server Directory: prompt, enter the FTP server directory pathname, and press Enter.Step 5 At the Enter FTP Server Username: prompt, enter the FTP server username and. press Enter.Step 6 At the Enter FTP Server Password: prompt, enter the FTP server password and, press Enter.Step 7 At the File: prompt, enter the name that you want to give the backup file, and press Enter.Step 8 At the Encrypt Backup file? <Y or N>: prompt, enter Y to encrypt the backup file or N not to encrypt it, and press Enter.Caution This procedure interrupts the use of the ACS SE for AAA services.Step 9 If you entered Y to encrypt the backup file, at the Encryption Password: prompt, enter a password and then press Enter.Result: The console displays:Backing up now . . .
All running services will be stopped and restarted automatically.Are you sure you want to proceed? <Y or N>Step 10 To proceed, enter Y and press Enter.

I am not able to backup ACS 5.x server by means of SFTP protocol. We use ACS 5-2-0-26-2. My configuration of repository is:
repository SFTP
url sftp://x.x.x.x/home/user
user user password hash 455ad
command 'backup acs01 repository SFTP' does not work and I receive the following error message on ACS server:
%SSH connect error
On my sftp server I can find the following error messages:
Apr 6 06:57:46 CR01 sshd[8561]: Accepted password for user from 10.20.86.72 port 47924 ssh2Apr 6 06:57:46 CR01 sshd[8563]: Received disconnect from 10.20.86.72: 11: disconnected by user
How to successfully performed backup by means of SFTP protocol? Do I need any other configuration settings except repository? Do I need to store my SSHD RSA key to ACS? I am able to copy files using SFTP from other computers, so it seems that SFTP server is set correctly.

So I've decided to utilize 802.1x on a switch module on a 2901, reasons being for mobility for a laptop and network security.
However, the 802.1x authentication occurs over the VPN Tunnel (over the Internet). What our concern is, what happens if the Internet or Tunnel goes down? I know that 802.1x does not authenticate against the IOS local DB, so what would be another option in case this scenario happened?
There will only be one device authenticating (maybe 2) and they are 2 HP Windows 7 laptops.

We are trying to make a restore from the backup done on ACS version 5.1 to a new appliance running ACS5.2 Before doing it I found this note in Cisco ACS user guide:
Note: You cannot back up data from an earlier version of ACS and restore it to a later version. Backup and restore must be performed on the same version of ACS. If you need the data on a different version of the ACS, you can perform an upgrade after you restore the data. Refer to the Installation and Setup Guide for Cisco Secure Access Control System 5.1 for more information on upgrading ACS to later versions.
How should I understand it? This note has conflicting statements. We can't restore to a later version but if you need data on a different version of ACS you can perform an upgrade AFTER YOU RESTORE the data. Doesn't it mean that the restore will still work? How would I do the upgrade to version 5.2 or even version 5.3 that was announced to be released very soon? I didn't find anything on the software upgrade in ACS5.1 guide.

We have an issue with View db (Monitoring & Reports) backup on ACS, version 5.2.0.26. We have scheduled incremental backup daily and full backup monthly. Everything has been working well, but since yesterday following errors have appeared, and full and incremental backup stopped working:
Alarm Name
System Alarm [Incremental Backup]
Cause/Trigger
On-demand Full Backup failed
Alarm Details
CARS_BR_BACKUP_CREATE : -405 : Internal error: couldn't create backup file

We use same repository as always. Backup to the same repository works from CLI.

After ACS upgrade from 5.2 to 5.3 we have noticed that backup files are significantly smaller in size. For example before the upgrade they were:
285633099 2011-10-23 22:01 Meduza-ACS-111023-2200.tar.gpg
285809254 2011-10-24 22:01 Meduza-ACS-111024-2200.tar.gpg
And after upgrade:
124234429 2011-10-25 22:00 Meduza-ACS-111025-2200.tar.gpg
124234425 2011-10-26 22:00 Meduza-ACS-111026-2200.tar.gpg
What could cause this behavior? How we can be sure if backup files have been regular after the upgrade?

I am running windows based acs 3.3 in my lan environment going to be replaced with acs 1120 appliance running acs 4.2.1.15 , ACS 3.3 database has been built upto 4.2.0.124 ,step by step by upgrade process
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'm currently in college, and do most things with my laptop, and I have wifi just about everywhere. It has a generous 500 GB of storage, but I'd like to store non-essential files on, an external hard drive. However, lugging around 3 TB of storage isn't exactly feasible, and with my experience with my current 1.5 TB portable drive, me running around everywhere with it bouncing in my bag is just going to abuse it until it stops functioning (which it has...)[URL]

I am currently using a backup program that I thought would back up from any location including a NAS drive but this is not the case. The backup program does not show the NAS drive directory... I was just wondering if there is a way of making a NAS drive appear as a local drive. I've mapped the drive and created symbolic links for it as well and it still does not appear. I was planning on using the iSCSI method but I believe my NAS does not support it.

I'm trying to test such 802.1x wired environment:windows xp sp3 as supplicant windows NPS as radius server 2960 as authenticator latest anyconnect (3.1.01065) + nam and standalone profile editor.I have a question: What is the difference between protected identity pattern and unprotected identity pattern (set in nam profile editor)? As I understand documentation PEAP-MSCHAPv2 is a tunneled method and it uses un- protected identity pattern to protect user's identity during phase 0. But if I use any fake identity here (anonymous, anonymous@[domain], etc) access is rejected (Access-Reject in switch debugs). I have to use exacly the same pattern in unprotected identity pattern as in protected identity pattern ([username] or [username]@[domain]) to gain access, regardless of authenticaton mode (same in machine only, user only authentication).

I have a new Cisco Secure ACS 5.2 on a VM. We want to use it to for administrative access to our Cisco equipment with TACACS+. I am trying to map user permissions to different groups of devices based on active directory group membership, however it is not working.
I am using an LDAP (configured for secure authentication) external identity store. On the directory organization tab, I have confirmed the accuracy of the subject and group search base and the test configuration button shows that it's finding > 100 users and >100 groups.
On the directory groups page I have entered the groups according to the required format. cn=groupname1,ou=groups,dc=abc,dc=com
I have a rule based result selection under group mapping. I have two rules in the format below.
Conditon
LDAP:Externalgroups groupname1
Result
Identitygroup1
I have the default group set to a identity group named other. My problem is, no matter what user attempts to authenticate, the Default rule is applied, and the user is put into the other identity group.This occurs when I log on as a groupname1 user, groupname2 user, or as user that is not a member of either of those groups. LDAP authentication works and the user is able to logon to the device.
