View 10 RepliesI am reading up on the ACS VMware appliance installation instructions and am a bit confused on the disk space requirements. It says 60Gb is required and then goes on to talk about 500GB for the secondary instance. Do I need more than 60gb? Is the secondary instance a separate machine or part of the same one?URL

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat are the VMware requirements to run ACS4.1.4? Im trying to use a VM this as the migration server. According to the cisco docs, it states that: "ACS 4.1 has been tested on the VMWare ESX server with the following configuration:
•VMWare ESX Server 3.0.0
•16 GB of RAM
•AMD Opteron Dual Core processor
•300 GB hard drive
•Four virtual machines
•Windows 2003 Standard Edition
•3 GB of RAM for the guest operating system"
I understand it will work as it "has been tested" with those specs, but the doc does not state the minimum requirements for the virtual machine. I dont want to use/find 300GB of space if I only need 20GB(as an example) to make it work.
I'm with problems to migrate the ACS 5.1 hardware to ACS 5.1 vmware. In my infraestructure I have a appliance with ACS 5.1 and I need to migrate to vmware to do HA. I installed vmware as the Cisco ACS recommendations. I made a backup of the ACS hardware and copied the local disk vmware ACS.
When I start the restore process after a few minutes an error occurs:

I have a client that is running ACS 5.3 as a VM in ESX 4.1. The client wants their VMWare admins to have the ability to shut down the ACS server during maintenance etc... I know I could create a CLI user with admin priviliges, however, assigning full admin priviliges is beyond the scope of what the user requires. They simply want a user account with the added privilige of performing a halt from the CLI. In the CLI Reference Guide for ACS.
So is it possible to create an account with user priviliges, then modify its permissions to allow for a halt?
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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAll users are located in the local identity store.So - assume I do not implement ACS but I do turn on password expiration after 60 or 90 days. Will a user whose password is about to expire attempts to authenticate against ACS 5.2, will they be notified that their password is about to expire?Also, when a user attempts to authenticate but their password expired yesterday, will they be prompted to change it and if so, how will that prompt to change it be presented?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe're using Cisco Secure ACS 5.2 as a Proxy AAA server, using Active Directory as an External Identity Store. They are already synced and connected and thus I can login into the VPN using my Domain credentials.
But that's not enough. My client needs to limit who can and can't establish VPN session, I mean, the way it is now, EVERY single employee can do that if his/her credentials are valid in the Active Directory domain controller. So I need to do two things:
1) Using the Microsoft NPS server, via dialin attribute, allow or deny VPN sessions using ACS/ASA;
2) Using the company user credential attribute to identify which Authorization Group the requesting user should be in, Downloadable ACLs will then be applied according to the access policies created for each company.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI want to use RADIUS (of Secure ACS 5.3) to authenticate users within an ISP environment. Users log connect to a network using a point to point connection (L2) and then they are sending a RADIUS request to get IP adresses. Secure ACS is not quite easy to look through in that case.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got 2 freshly installed ACS 4.2 for Windows servers and I need to apply the latest patch rollup before I build the configurations. I stopped the ACS services and ran Acs-4.2.0.124.15-SW.exe to install the patches. The application begins running fine but fails on upgrading the database and then none of the ACS services would start. I was able to restore the files from the backup that runs with the patch utility and get ACS functioning again. What am I missing - does the patch rollup require any specific Microsoft Patches to be installed or something like that?

When I hit "Test Bind to Server", I get this error message in a popup window: "Connection test bind Failed :server certificate not found"Is this saying that ACS can't find the CA certificate uploaded, or does it mean the actual certificate presented by my LDAPS server during the bind test?

I've recently been looking into linking in our Cisco 2960S Gb Switch with RSA SecureID via Radius.I've already managed to link it in for ssh access
but I've not managed to get it working for http / web access to the switchI think this is because we're using "single use" tokens for maximum security with RSA Secure-ID and the web interface attempts to authenticate multiple times against the Radius part of the RSA SecureID server (okay on the first authentication, but each time after it's going to want a different token code)
(if there's a way to get the switch to just authenticate once instead of multiple times against the radius server) For info the switch is a WS-C2960S-24TS-L with IOS 15.0(1)SE2
We're running Cisco Secure ACS V5.1 on a Linux platform to manage remote access to many networking devices. This has not been in place long, and is generally working OK. However, whenever I set the parameters of the user authentication to 'disable user account after X days if password was not changed', so as to comply with our internal security regulations, the user IDs seem to disable themselves intermittently, irrespective of whatever number of days I put in this - this can be a couple of days after re-enabling, or just a few minutes.
This can be found in the advanced tab here: System Administration > Users > Authentication Settings.In the mean time, we are having to set the user authentication to be non-expiry. Is this a known fault with this version of software? If so, would there be a patch available, and how would I go about obtaining it?
provide a sample configuration to use Cisco Secure ACS 4.2 to enable command authorization using TACACS.
View 8 Replies View RelatedWe have a pair of ACS 4.1 servers (Windows Server 2003 R2). Let's call them ACS1 and ACS2. We don't want either one of them to proxy to any AAA server, including each other. We're using mostly TACACS authentication.
While troubleshooting a general problem, I'm guessing that one of us did this on ACS1:
pressed the Network Configuration button,saw the Proxy Distribution Tableclicked (Default)moved ACS1 from the AAA Servers column to the Forward To column.
So, essentially, we're telling ACS1 to proxy all requests to itself, which doesn't seem to make sense. I don't know for sure whether it should work when configured to "self proxy," but in that state, it does not authenticate anyone and gives merely "Internal error" as the reason.
If I change the configuration so that "ACS2" appears in the Forward To column, and I move "ACS1" back to AAA Servers and restart, ACS1 starts responding correctly to TACACS requests. Of course, ACS1 is just proxying all requests to ACS2, so having two servers isn't doing much good.
I cannot simply remove ACS1 from the Forward To column and leave it empty. The interface complains that it can't forward to zero servers. Of course, on ACS2, there are no servers in the Forward To column, since we never touched the Proxy Distribution Table there.
Is there any way to return the Proxy Distribution Table to its default setup, that is, no servers appear in the "Forward To" column?
We're planning to upgrade to version 4.2 very soon, so this question is mostly academic, unless the same problem exists in 4.2.
For full disclosure, I should mention that the problem we were troubleshooting was loss of connectivity to our Windows Domain Controllers from our ACS servers. We had missed adding some exceptions in our firewalls to allow for four new DCs. As far as we can tell from testing, connectivity to the DCs is now fine. The firewall rules group ACS1 and ACS2 together, so connectivity should be the same, and ACS2 authenticates users correctly.
