ACS 4.2 Solution Engine - Most current?

We have two Cisco ACS 1113 4.2 "Solution Engines" running Windows. They are in test. Is this the most current software base for the 1113? My memory is telling me there was a Linux-based version in the works. Is that true? Is that available?

Thanks! That pretty much ansers my question. ;-) At http://www.cisco.com/go/acs I read:
"ACS 5.0 currently supports many but not all access scenarios. ACS 4.2 will continue to be available for customers that require it"
That puts the fear in me that an upgrade may be a requirement in the future - and will involve a complete appliance swap-out. Hopefully the 1113's with 4.2 have a few years in them?

Cisco ACS 4.2 Solutions Engine replacement advice

Hi everyone,
I am hoping to get some advice on an upcoming upgrade. We currently have a Cisco ACS 4.2 Solutions Engine. (That's the physical appliance). It is coming to end of support and we are looking to replace. Here is what we use it for today:
1. TACACS+ AAA for all routers and switches. Gives us great reporting.
2. PEAP Authentication for our wireless network off of a 5508 Wireless Controller.
3. Machine Access Restrictions for our Wireless network. (Basically Machine Authentication)
I believe that is all we use it for today. That said, hoping to get some of your opinions on a replacement.
Any advice or opinions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Josh

Hi Josh,
To add up to the above post, You will have to undergo the migration process from going to ACS 4.2 to ACS 5.4.
Here is the migration guide:

Cisco Secure ACS 4.0 Solution engine problem

Hi,
I have a probleme with a Cisco Secure ACS 4.0 Solution Engine (CSACSE-1113-K9).
I try to power up the engine, but the light in the power button stay blinking all the time. Anyone have a idea why ?
Last week, I boot it for the first time (It's brand new), every things goes fine.
I made " shutdown " then wait the message to press 4 seconds power button to turn it off. This morning, nothing come up.
I see one thing in the console "Press <SpaceBar> to update BIOS." after that, blank. No bios detection, no harddrive dectection, no windows boot.
Any idea ?
Thank you

No, I'm sur.
Then we have version 1113 of ACS.
See: http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/en/us/guest/products/ps6731/c2001/ccmigration_09186a008068f7bd.pdf
Page 32(1-8) #2.
I let the engine off about 6hours after my first post, then I try back. The engine start.
What can cause this problem ?

Cisco ACS 4.2 Solutions Engine replacement

Hi,
Our ACS appliance (Cisco 1113) has died and it is not cost effective to get it replaced as it will only be used until the end of this year.
Is it possible to get the tacacs software to install on a Windows server? How do I go about sourcing the software as the original documentation is no longer available? Will the fact that I have a defunct appliance be sufficient proof to get a copy of the software? We are currently running v4.1
Thanks.

Here is a path to download the Eval version of ACS 4.2 windows.
Cisco.com > Downloads Home > Products > Security > Access Control and
Policy > Policy and Access Management > Cisco Secure Access Control
Server for Windows > Cisco Secure ACS 4.2 for Windows > Secure Access
Control Server (ACS) for Windows-4.2.0.124 > scroll down to the bottom
and you will see a file named

Adding Users on Cisco Secure ACS Solution Engine 3.3

We have a large block of userids we need to add to our ACS 3.3 Solution Engine into the CiscoSecure User Database. When using the web-based GUI, it looks like you can only add one user at a time. Is there anyway to add users as a block with some type of command line, or is there a utility that will add users and also copy user options? It would be helpful if in the Add/Edit user panel, there was the ability to copy settings from a previously installed user definition.

I'm not sure that csutil would setup all the parameters I need, so I would have to choose CSDBSync. Tacacs is used and not Radius. I need the user to initially be configured disabled, specify his/her real name and description, assign the user to a group, assign a PAP password and confirmation, use group settings for callback, client ip address assignment, and max sessions, establish a date to automatically disable the account, provide no enable privileges, and set a Tacacs+ Outbound password.

ACS 1113 Solution Engine console enter CURRENT password

I have a ACS 1113 Solution Engine, when I plug into console after BIOS bootup sequence I get Enter CURRENT Password:
We don't have the password, can I download the ACS Recovery CD from CCO? I didn't see the recovery image on CCO.

CSCsl70457
Symptom Some ACS 1113 appliances that ship from RMA depots, come with a bootup password of 'acs1113'.
Conditions Appliance comes with a BIOS Password.
Workaround On boot, enter the BIOS password of 'acs1113'.

Maximum users on ACS Solution Engine 3.3

Hello,
I need to know the maximum supported number of users in the local database of the CiscoSecure ACS Solution Engine 3.3 (the appliance) ?
Is there a document about this ?
Thank you !
Patrice

The client version of Mac OS X supports a maximum of 10 AFP clients. It's always been that way.
If you want more than 10 AFP clients you need to move to Mac OS X Server (unlimited) which can support any number of concurrent users.

Cisco 5.0 ACS Solution engine

Hi,
Just installed and finished intail setup of ACS version 5.0 Sol. engine. Next i'm not able to acces solution engine over internet explorer. Even not able to telnet port 2002.
Do i need to configure anything else for enabling gui in version 5.0?
Please assist.
Thanks!
Kamal
[email protected]

ACS 5.x doesn't work on PORT 2002 like ACS 4.2, it works on https-443 so in order to use ACS 5.x, you should URL
https://
To log in to the GUI, you must use the predefined username ACSAdmin and password default. When you access the GUI for the first time, you will be prompted to change the predefined password for the administrator. You can also define access privileges for other administrators who will access the GUI application.

Manage a Cisco Secure ACS Solution Engine?

Hello,
how can i manage/observe a 'Cisco Secure ACS Solution Engine'? Ich found no things like SNMP etc.

Hi,
you have no chance to control the ACS SE with snmp. We have one router, access via ACS and uses a script roboter to control the access to the router. If the access fails, we send us an email

ACS Solution Engine TACACS+ and Radius

I have an ACS Solutions Engine that is performing TACACS authentication for remote access to Switches and now want to add 802.1X support for port based access control against the ACS server also. For some reason this is not working for me at all. Does anyone have a document that will guide me in this.

http://cisco.biz/en/US/prod/collateral/iosswrel/ps6537/ps6586/ps6638/guide_c07-627531.pdf
There is a lot of reading on the topic. Maybe you could precise what is not working as expected ?
what EAP method are you doing ? how is your switchport configured ? Is there an error message on ACS ?

Import user and group from dump.txt to ACS Solution Engine 3.3

I have export the user and group using the CSUtil -d on my acs v2.6. But ACS Solution Engine 3.3 does not have the CSUtil command to import the user and group database. Can anyone advise me?

I'm trying to do the same thing with no luck so far.
Documentation seems to indicate you can do this using RDBMS Synchronization but we haven't got it to work yet.
I read the doco as saying you create a csv and place it on an FTP server and ACS will read from that file. When we've tried, it rights its own file with a different extension and says it can't find the one we place in that same directory.

Why in the world is the most current version of firefox AND flash having TONS of problems playing hulu videos? either chewing the crap out of my processor but playing ok, or chewing the crap out of my processor and not even playing video at all?

used to be firefox and hulu got along just fine, never had my computer get retarded slow or any of the other things its currently doing while there's a tab open with hulu... but here lately its been eating the snot outta my processor (between firefox.exe and plugin container the two are consistently using 100% of my processor... most of it being firefox.exe itself)
and tonight i cant watch hulu at all. the video shows a frame then its another 10-15 seconds before another single frame is showed.
my firefox is the most current version.
my adobe flash player plugin is the most current version.
there's no reason this should be happening but it is happening and its friggin annoying
============================
this happens anytime i'm in the part of hulu that has the player for showing whatever episode i'm attempting to watch. when i attempt to watch hulu i have no other tabs open and no other excess programs running on my computer, and firefox+plugincontainer run my CPU to 100% just between those two processes. i can browse around the internet just fine (like checking my email, or even getting to my queue list on hulu, which i have my homepage set as.. the queue list loads fine but the player part of hulu is when things go to crap)
and i just tried the exact same episode of lie to me that i couldnt watch on firefox.... tried watching it on internet explorer and its playing perfextly fine EVEN WHILE FIREFOX IS OPEN.
firefox is my preferred browser and i hope this junk can be fixed somehow.
