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
we are desperately trying to set a custom password of our WCS database in order to use it for direct SQL queries (Cumbersome over Web surface). To my knowledge there is a way to reset it however this password would be randomly generated and not available in plain text.
Until version 6 there was a feature to directly set a password via the dbadmin command.
I tried to change my password for rmeng using the following command: ./dbpasswd.pl dsn=rmeng encryption=yes npwd=NEWPASSWORD
Here is the output from the dbpwdChange.log INFO: Start changing password for database 'rmeng'... Thu Sep 29 14:51:18 GMT 2011> INFO: New userinfo updated into database
i configured pix 525 for easy vpn. About 100 to 200 people will use this service. i dont have much knowledge about radius and tacacas servers. Is local data base enough for extended authentication or should i configure the server for it ?
Firstly 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.
Just installed ACS 5.0.0.21. Monitoring and reports database was working, but now is not. When trying to open, I get "Monitoring and reports database currently unavailable. Trying reconnect in 5 minutes." From CLI "sho application status acs" gives me the following:
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.
i'm trying to configure acs 5.2 to LDAP external idenity store, when LDAP failes ACS 5.2 should use internal indenity store. I configured A sequence to use LDAP 1st then Internal and i shut off the link to the LDAP but ACS will not use internal, AAA Diagnostics keeps telling me that Cannot establish connection with LDAP server and will not use the internal store.
I am working on project with Secure ACS 5.2. I am trying to determine the proper External Database to use. LDAP or direct to AD?
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.
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)
Having CSACSE-1113-K9 with ACS 4.2.15.I want to configure windows user database under extrenal user database but i get an error (attached) 'An error has occured while processing the Authen DLL Configure pagebecasue an error occured.I tried to stop the services and start agian but the same issue. The eappliance is secondary (backup) ACS. On the primary it is working fine.
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
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 use a broadband net connection. DSL Ehernet connection. I need to type a pssword and username to get connected. Anyways, that's not the problem. The problem is after powering on the modemt, the link in my modem starts to blink every 2min. which causes the broken connection. Sometimes I cant even connect to the net because the link doesn't stop to blink.. I'm unable to do anything as the connection keeps going off. There might be a question of down servers, But the others who is using the same plan as mine, not having such trouble.
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 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'm using a stock FIOS router Actiontec MI424WR, and I'm trying to access the router settings at 192.168.1.1. I type in my username fine, but when I type the password, each keystroke gives me more than one digit. Even holding Ctrl adds one, and letting go removes three characters. I've never seen this happen before, and I've tried it on two computers and three different browsers. I see that people recommend hard-resetting the router, but I was wondering why this has happened
I an currently running Cisco (ACS 5.2.0.26.3) and attempting to get my Cisco 5508 WLC's (7.0.98.0) loaded into ACS for TACACS+ authentication for managment users.
However I keep getting the following error:
*emWeb: Sep 14 14:44:45.931: %EMWEB-1-LOGIN_FAILED: ews_auth.c:2104 Login failed for the user:test_tac. Service-Type is not present or it doesn't allow READ/WRITE permission.
Now I've attempted the step-by-step using the following URL but to no avail.( there are some slight differences in ACS 5.2)

Latest WLC configuration guide I could find (Software Release 7.0 June 2010) isn't much useful either.
How the one-way hash is generated given the challenge number and shared secret password?It's just that I was reading Cisco 3 chapter 7, and it doesn't explicitly outline how the one-way hash is actually generated, it simply states that it is generated given the challenge number (randomly generated for every challenge message) and the shared secret password.
Is there any other way to configure the checks using the hash value of an application instead of register key ??? I have read and confirmed that the hash value does not change never. Its the same value....But I did not find a way to configure the rule on the CAM.... ? By the way I am using Cisco NAC 4.8.2
I connecting to a Cisco ASA 5500 using a third party IKEv1 client. The initial connection and all rekey attempts that start on the client are successful. A tunnel is established, data cna be transferred between the client and the ASA's internal network etc.However, when the ASA initiates rekeying of a Quick Mode SA this is rejected on the client. The rejection occurs due to QM3's HASH payloading having a length of 4, which is wrong.
ASA log:
ISAKMP Header Initiator COOKIE: 48 81 9e 1b 80 94 41 a9 Responder COOKIE: fa ab 87 c7 a5 d9 8d 35 Next Payload: Hash Version: 1.0 Exchange Type: Quick Mode
[code]...
Since the initial negotiations work, pre-shared key, IKE/IPsec settings etc should be correct; if they weren't the connections wouldn't work in the first place.
Which transmit hash policies are supported by the SLM2008? I can't find this information in any of the documentation for this switch, all that is stated is that it supports Link Aggregation using IEEE 802.3ad LACP. I'm connecting to a Netgear ReadyNAS Pro that supports Layer 2 and Layer 3+4 transmit hash policies and I'm not sure which to choose (or whether it matters).
We're running ISE 1.1 for guest services. We use Active Directory for Sponsor Portal login, as well as for administration of the ISE itself. Our corporate policy requires a password change for service accounts, and the service account password we use for ISE to connect into AD expires in a few days. So I changed the password on the account, but how do I tell this to ISE? I don't see anything in the documentation, only some references to only use non-expiring accounts to connect to AD. This made me laugh. If our corporate policy was that lax, we'd never have purchased ISE.
1) Is there a way to communicate this to ISE? Or is leave and then join the only way? Will that even work?
2) I see that after the password change, ISE continues to work fine. Does it only synch with AD periodically? On reboot, or every X hours? Right now things are working, but I'm afraid as soon as I turn my back it will stop.
I am struggling with migrating from ACS4.2 to ACS 5.2.In our 4.2 platform we have a lot of users defined used for authenticating EasyVPN boxes.However when i am migrating those "users" to acs 5.2 i no longer have the option of setting that their password shouldn't expire.In the release notes of ACS 5.2 i have read that the have included the option but i can't seem to find it.
