Cisco AAA/Identity/Nac :: Secure ACS 5.3 - Receiving An Alarm Notification?
Jul 19, 2012We are using version 5.3 with patch 5. Incremental and full backup are configured but every day we receive an alarm notification.

View 7 RepliesOn 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.
I am using ISE 1.1.1.268 and WLC 7.2.111.3 and NAC agent version 4.9.1.6 on Windows 7 Client machines.
About once a day i get the error "ISE Alarm (WARNING): Dynamic Authorization Failed for Device".
The device it is referring to is my NAD, a WLC 5508 running 7.2.111.3
I have looked at the logs and I cannot see anything in the logs which corresponds to this message so that I can troubleshoot further. Maybe I can if I am enabling the correct logging level on the correct ISE component.
What are the components and the logging level that I should set to get some more detail about this error?
At the moment, I have only set debug logging on Active Directory. I have TRACE logging set on Posture, Run time AAA & prrt-JNI.
I do not want to enable too much debug logs, so what is the specific element that I should be debugging.
I thought debugging the posture element would be enough but when I look at the logs there is nothing there that relates to this message.
I have not used the ACS5.1 yet so watch out for the easy questions
1) Is it possible to generate report for the users who are inactive for say last 30 days? Customer is looking to audit these users to see if they really need access to any device.
2) Are there any known issues while assigning the priviligaes level to users. In current implementation of this customer users are always logged into priv 1 though they are assigning the priv level of 5. I understand with ACS 4.x we can enable the exec process and assign the priv under user/group policy. What are the configurations that customer might be possiby missing in this case?
3) Is there any SNMP or other notification available in ACS 5.1 where admin can be notified at the time a particulat set of user logs in.
Is it possible to have email notification when a rule is hit on the ACS(5.1)?
Ive had a look around and cannot see any options, the server team seem to think its not possible to have this triggered from AD either on a side note, where are the SMTP settings on the ACS?
Is there a way to configure an email notification for a specific authentication failure? Specifically, I'd like to see if I can have an email notifcation sent to me when failure reason is "13017 Received TACACS+ packet from unknown Network Device or AAA Client".
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have configured ACS 5.1 and using Tacacs. I have two juniper SSG140 FW's in different subnet. Tacacs authentication is working on one SSG140 FW, but not on the other one. Tacacs configuration on both FW's are exactly the same. Both FW's have been added in the ACS server with the same shared secret key same profile etc. I don't even see the authentication requests from the FW. ACS can ping both FW's and vice versa. [code]
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have a distributed ACS 5.3 set up - a PR and DR replicating successfully.I've set up 4 remote syslog targets. 2 of them are at the same site as the PR ACS and 2 are at the same site as the DR ACS.The logging collector is set on the PR ACS.
The problem is that it "appears" that PR ACS is only sending PR ACS syslog info to one of the remote syslog targets out of the four.
The syslog target which does receive from the PR ACS is at the same site as the PR ACS.
"appears" means that some one has looked on the syslog targets to see what's been received / or not received.
I've been told that the syslog traffic for syslog targets is being received from the DR ACS. Which is strange as the PR ACS is the actual log collector (and is not at the same site as the DR ACS).
I've also got Alarm Syslog targets set up on the PR ACS , (2 are the same ip addresses used in the 4 remote syslog targets). IP addresses of the remote syslog targets have been double checked and can be pinged from each ACS (PR and DR).
We need to move from ESX 3.5 to ESX 4.0 a virtual machine running Cisco Secure ACS per Windows version 4.2.

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.
Cisco Airespace configuration in Cisco Secure ACS v5.3. We're migrating to ACS v5.3 but we're encountering an issue with Cisco Airespace. It is only working on ACS4.1 but when we tried to move it to Cisco Secure ACS v5.3, it is not working.
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?

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?
I just want to know if i need to support High Availability in Cisco Secure ACS 5.1 appliance, will the base license suffice or do i need to buy Security Group Access System License/ Large deployment License. Again, do we require license for each appliance or just one is enough?
I Suppose the licensing rules are same for the Vmware version also.
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.
How many newtork devices can Cisco Secure ACSv4.1 support is there any limit on the same? How to get the Specs of Cisco Secure ACSv4.1 on the above grounds...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to configure an ASA to communicate with an AD environment that is only using LDAP Secure (LDAPS). I've configured authentication to ASA's with LDAP lots of times, though never with LDAPS.
Presumably there is a procedure to install a certificate in the same way as an RSA sig in VPN.
Am I entitle to upgrade from 5.1 to 5.2 by having smarnet on my 1120 Secure ACS Appliance?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have several ASA 5510 firewalls which are being used as VPN gateways.RSA SecurID is the authentication mechanism using native SDI connectivity. No ACS server is being used.Is it possible to assign user Group and other attributes (such as ACL), using the SecurID RADIUS server? I know this is what the Cisco ACS is for, but is it possible using the RSA RADIUS server itself?

I am getting alarms on Solarwind indicating interface down on "GigabitEthernet 4/7 - Gi4/d1" and "GigabitEthernet 4/8 - Gi4/d2" from our core switch 6509.Remote login to the switch does not show the interfaces when I do the "sh run" command. Now I am at site trying to identify and diagnose this fault.Looking at the numbering on the switch, it indicates to me the card where these alarms come from is from the 'intrusion dectection module'
how I may login and identify this interfaces and rectify these alarms.
I have the follow error in a SW3750:

I have a Cisco asa 5510. I am doing attack a my firewall, using n map. I am seeing in the log the attack but i like that firewall send only alarm of attack by email . I have active email with warning and i received very much email.
I observed that graph show attack, but not ip of attacker, is possible that Cisco asa show the ip too ? The log show scanning with n map but not shunning IP and not send alarm. How i can send alarm ? The graph no show ip, it's possible show it.
We have a WAP 200 wireless G access point. It worked perfect before. About two weeks agao, we didn't change anything, it began to send empty alarm email every 10 minutes. We upgraded the software to newest version,restarted it several times. But till now, it still keep sending empaty alarm email.
