Hi Marco,
Here is the link for downloading ACS5.2 patches :

Downlaod any patch and place in the FTP/SFTP server in your enviroment
Login to the ACS CLI :

acs/admin(config-Repository)# url sftp://starwars.test.com/repository/system1
acs/admin(config-Repository)# user luke password skywalker
acs/admin(config-Repository)# exit
after that run this command :

once done you can do a sh version and see the acs5.2 with the new patch.

Need to know the upgrade path for the same. As per my information ACS 4.1(1) runs on windows server and releases post to 5.X uses Linux. Please guide how can i upgrade Appliance 1113 from 4.1 to 5.x

Hi,
Cisco ACS 1113 appliance doesn't support ACS 5.x version. 1113 appliance supports till ACS 4.2.1 version.
Cisco ACS SE 1120/1121 appliance models are required for ACS 5.x

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 ?

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 ?

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

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.

ACS 4.2.1.15 patch 4 installation

Hi everybody,
I'm having a problem when I try to install the patch 4 in a Windows ACS 4.2.1. When I began the installation process, after I confirm that version 4.2.1 is installed, the installation window disapear and never receive a message from the OS.
If I check the installed version in the ACS web page, the upgrade doesn't appear. After reload the server I can see an error message for the previous installation process and I can't see information in the installation log.
Some one can help me?
Regards,
Guzmán

Hi Anisha,
There is no error message, the DOS window dissapear and the patch installation never ends.
The only error that can see is when I restart the server and Windows show an error window.
I have read the patch installation Readme and the following point indicates the logs location:
11. The command window will show minimal information on what’s happening. For detailed logs please locate AcsPatchInstall.log in the root folder of . On applying the next patch this log gets overwritten.

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.

Hello Vivek,
You can download the requested files from Cisco.com > Support > All Downloads > Products > Security > Identity Management > Cisco Secure Access Control Server Solution Engine > Cisco Secure Access Control Server Solution Engine 4.2 > Secure Access Control Server (ACS) Solution Engine-4.2.0.124
ACS 4.2.0.124 latest patch right now is Patch 17. Also, there is version 4.2.1.15 available for both the ACS SE and Remote Agent (For Windows Authentication). If you are going to patch your ACS SE it would be recommended to either upgrade to the latest patch (17) or to 4.2.1.15.
Patches are cummulative as well so applying patch 10 will include Patch 9 fixes as well. You would be looking for:
1) applAcs_4.2.0.124.10.zip
2) applAcs_4.2.0.124.10-CSUpdate.zip
3) Acs-4.2.0.124.10-RA.zip
You need to apply applAcs_4.2.0.124.10-CSUpdate.zip first and then applAcs_4.2.0.124.10.zip on the ACS SE. On the Remote Agent you will install Acs-4.2.0.124.10-RA.zip.
Both the applAcs_4.2.0.124.10.zip and Acs-4.2.0.124.10-RA.zip have a link to the file release notes which include the patch installation instructions.
You can also review the following:

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.

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
