I tried to backup ACS 5.1 but i found error messages as below
acs backup25Nov11 repository 25Nov11Repository
% Repository not found
% Error: Invalid repository name 25Nov11Respository
Please use a configured repository.
I'm configuring ACS for the first time and the config is complete and working, except backups of the view database. I've created a TFTP repositiory and if I perform a manual backup or wait for a scheduled one to occur it fails. I do get a .tar.gpg file in the TFTP server (but can not restore from it as it's not listed in "Restore" as a backup).
It works fine if I create and use a local disk repository. I get a .tar.gpg but also a catalog.xml and repolock.cfg file (which I don't in TFTP). Looking at the logs on the TFTP server I can see it tries repeatedly to read the catalog.xml file but fails:
Read request for file <DB/catalog.xml>. Mode netascii [15/07 16:05:52.167]
File <DBcatalog.xml> : error 2 in system call CreateFile The system cannot find the file specified. [15/07 16:05:52.167]
That seems correct, the file doesn't exist. However it never seems to try and create it.
Using ISE 1.1.1 and Switch 3650 12.2(55)SE6. I have a client (computer) that should be authenticated with MAB and then the switch port should be asigned a DACL and VLAN 90. I do get "Authorization succeeded" but directly after it fails and I can't figure out why. ISE only shows the successful authentication under "Live Authentications".
As you can se from the log below 802.1x fails, as it should, and then MAB succeed, asigns the VLAN and then fails:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a problem where wireless clients at a remote site cannot successfully authenticate through their WLC to my ACS 5.2 (Linux on VM). I have three sites where this authentication is functioning properly; at my fourth site the wireless clients fail with a PEAP error: "12321 PEAP failed SSL/TLS handshake because the client rejected the ACS local-certificate". My wireless clients are Win7 using WPA2-Enterprise security type with AES encryption. The authentication method is set to Microsoft PEAP (EAP-MSCHAP v2) and the 'Validate server certificate' is not checked. My wireless access rules on ACS 5.2 are working well at three sites. My ACS 5.2 has a self-signed certificate that doesn't expire until August 2012. A laptop that can successfully authenticate at other sites cannot authenticate at the fourth site.
Phase one of the PEAP process is where the client authenticates the server certificate and the TLS tunnel is created so that in phase two user authentication credentials are sent through the TLS tunnel using EAP. My clients do not seem to be able to create the TLS tunnel because they reject the ACS local certificate; thus, user credentials are never passed and authentication fails. I have renewed the ACS local certificate and rebooted the ACS server but the problem persists. My WLAN on the WLC has its security policy set to [WPA + WPA2][Auth(802.1X)]. WPA uses TKIP and WPA2 uses AES; Auth Key Mgmt is set to 802.1X. The remote site where authentication fails is a different domain; the other three sites are the same domain.
I can see the failed authentication attempts in my ACS "Monitoring and Reports | Reports | Catalog | AAA Protocol | RADIUS Authentication" report. They all fail with the same PEAP error: 12321 PEAP failed SSL/TLS handshake because the client rejected the ACS local-certificate. The ACS local certificate works fine at three sites--just not at the fourth. Is my problem the certificate or is it an 802.1X client problem?
Find here the extraction of the configuration and the debug sysout. The radius servers works fine with all the other accesss like ssh, telnet...
Just the http access fail. This configuration work fine with the version 12.2.55 installed before.

Web auth redirect URL gets dropped if stateful firewall is between webauth host and switch management interface. Aaron at Cisco live london kinda hinted about maybe Cisco working on this ? We can't disable stateful inspection. Is there any other solutions or workarounds ?
"Although this approach introduces additional hops in the return path from the switch to the host, it produces negligible load on the default router and intervening infrastructure since only the WebAuth traffic from the switch to the host follows this path. In campus designs that do not use SVIs on the data VLAN,6 a default route is typically already configured. In this case, no additional configuration is required to support WebAuth.
However, problems may arise in the case in which traffic to the default router is bridged through a stateful firewall. The original SYN packet in the TCP handshake is consumed by the access switch, so the first packet that the firewall sees is the SYN-ACK packet from the access switch. Stateful firewalls typically drop SYN-ACK packets if they have not seen the original SYN packet.In this case, you will need to turn off stateful inspection for ports 80 and 443 on the firewall."
I have a setup with a were I configured monitor mode on a switch with ISE as RADIUS server. This is for testing before a bigger deployment at a customer site.Im using ISE 1.1.3, C2960 and IOS 15.0(2) and a laptop with Windows 7 Enterprise SP1. The correct configuration with EAP-TLS and machin cert is working like it should but it is when I remove this and make the laptop fail that I get wierd results with monitor mode. I cant get DNS to work in dot1x monitor mode if the client fail authentication.
When the client fail dot1x and MAB it gets a IP with DHCP. I can ping but DNS/browsing is not working. If I put the AuthC back and the client authenticates DNS is working, or if I turn of dot1x on the client then DNS work as it should. [code]

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.
I have ACS 5.2 in standalone mode in operation and need not incorporating a second server for high availability ACS, the new ACS is a version 5.1
What should I do first, upgrade the ACS version 5.2 and created the high availability or high availability and get up after the upgrade?
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.

How can I automatically delete old files? I need to keep only the last seven files.
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

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 could see on appliance under restore settings the following options (restore from 4.2.0 backup file to acs 4.2.1)
to backup an ACS 5.3 vm running on ESXi 5.0 our backup admin requested to install vmware tools on the acs server.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have two Cisco 2960 TT-L switches. I'd like to reduce single points of failure and have dual servers for most tasks. For example, two firewall servers and two web servers. Should one server fail the other will act as a failover.I'd like to extend the redundancy to the switches, and am thinking of connecting one web server to one switch, and one to the other. In the event a switch failed a set of servers would still run, and be able to talk to each other.I'd like to run two VLANs, one for the LAN, and one of the WAN, and connect the two VLANs on each of the switches with the associated VLAN on the other switch.
