Adding WCS server in ACS for AAA

Hi,
I tried to add WCS into ACS server and I have done the all the required configuration but still WCS is unable to authenticate thro ACS. There is no passed or failed auth report on ACS for WCS users. Can you guide me on how to fix it?
Thanks,
Hassan

Curious... Did you load the WCS attributes from WCS to ACS?

Errors in ACS View Server in ACS 5.2

Hello,
I have deployed 7 appliances 5.2.0.26.4 CSACS-1121-K9 whose 6 are performing AAA authentications while the last one is is the primary and is the master for configuration and log collector.
Since this morning, I cannot access anymore the view where I can see all Radius authentication for today. I obtain the following message:
The server workspace storage for on demand transient reports is full, please try again later or contact administrator to increase on demand transient report storage capacity
I could not find any indication how to solve that issue.
Moreover, if I generate other report, I have the message:
18002: iPortal generate report failed.
I could find some information which makes references to a Cisco bug CSCtb98071, as below:
Launching a shared report in the ACS 5.1 Monitoring and Report Viewer displays an iportal error for a particular scenario.
Symptom: You will see the following iportal error message when you launch a shared report:
iPortal generate report failed.
Conditions: This error occurs when you add a report to a group in the interactive viewer and save it as a shared report.
Workaround: Avoid using the option Add Group from the interactive viewer for hyperlinked column entries when you save the report as shared
However, I am not adding any report to any group, so I don't understand why this error appears and how to solve it.
Thanks a lot for your help,
With my best regards.

David,
Since your environment consists of 7 ACS instances in which 6 are in a secondary configuration. Please move the log collection over from the primary to one of the secondary instances.
We have seen issues where this is recommended not only the configuration guide but also as been seen in other TAC cases.
Thanks,
Tarik

802.1X for wired environments using Radius/ACS for Dynamic Vlan Assignment

Currently Being Moderated
802.1X for wired environments using Radius/ACS for Dynamic Vlan Assignment
Could someone please provide me with a simplest set of configuration steps to fire up Radius in ACS and 802.1X for dynamic vlan assignment. The objective is to roll out NAC L2 OOB using the 802.1X method for dymamic vlan assignments.
If possible show:
1. ACS/Radius Configurations.
2. End User Switch Configurations
Variables:
Switch A
MAC Address aaaa.bbbb.cccc     Vlan 10
            bbbb.cccc.dddd     Vlan 20
Also, if someone posts the Pros and Cons of using Radius/ACS/802.1X for Dynamic Vlan Assignments.
Other technology sets that can be used for Dynamic Vlan assignment EXCEPT from deprecated/obsolete VMPS.
Thanks in advance. .

Hi Guys,
    Hmmm, well if your just looking for Mac based authentication the good news is that is very easy. Just set create your Radius server, ACS, FreeRadius, Steelbelted radius etc. Then create user with the name of the Mac address, in other words if the mac address is 0012.0021.1122 the the name would be 001200211122 and the password would be the mac address. Then you set the vlan and tunnel stuff, like so tunnel-Type would be vlan, Tunnel-medium would be 802 and Tunnel-Private-Group-ID is the name of the vlan(not the vlan number)
   So for the Cisco ACS 4.x you would create a user as specified above, fill in all the password boxes with MAC address, I believe the mac has to be all lower case in the name and the password. Then check the Separate(Chap/MS-Chap/ARAP) box. Then you pick the group the machine belongs to, the group is the part that defines what vlan it is on.
   Before you create the user, create the group with info I wrote above and in addition specify the Service-Type as Authenticate Only.
    Freeradius is a bit harder to configure the specifics and I am just now testing a freeradius server so I do not know the process for Machine authentication.
    If, however, you are trying to authenticate a user that gets a bit trickier and is not so straight forward.

Using ACS for Cisco Prime authentication

I'd like to use our Tacacs server running ACS to be the authentication method for user accounts in Prime, but don't even know where to start with this..
Any pointers?

The configuration on the Prime Infrastructure side is minimal: define the authentication server Prime is to use and select a mode for Prime Infrastructure to use with it.
Administration > AAA > TACACS+ Servers > add tacacs server.
Administration > AAA > AAA Mode Settings > tacacs+ and enable fallback to local.
The bulk of the configuration is on the authentication server side, particularly indefining groups, services and authorization tasks. This is covered in the "Performing Administrative Tasks" chapter of the Prime Infrastructure Configuration Guide, starting with the topic "Configuring ACS 5.x"
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/prime_infrastructure/1.3/configuration/guide/admin.html#wp1595935
"Configuring ACS 4.x"
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/prime_infrastructure/1.3/configuration/guide/admin.html#wp1625896
https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-17909
In case it doesn't work, please get the logs from the ACS reports and monirtoring for tacacs authentication and error message while accessing cisco prime.

Replication issues with ACS for Windows 3.3.3 build 11

I have built two ACS for Windows servers on Windows 2003 SP1. The AD environment is Windows 2003 SP1 as well. I have configured the two ACS servers on each box. However, when I go to replicate from box A to box B, the following error appears:
Inbound database replication from ACS 'acsradius.asu.edu' denied - shared secret mismatch
I have double checked the shared secret keys on both servers in the Network Configuration AAA servers section. Any idea what the issue is?
Thanks.

Do not run replication to a server installed on Windows 2003. Due to changes in the way Win2003 handles registry changes, each change can take up to 100 times longer and replication can fail and the server hang.

Set-up Radius Server to ACS 4.2 and AD server

Hi Guys,
I would like to ask help from you on how to set-up Radius server in ACS 4.2 (step-by-step guide or link), wireless client will be authenticated via Active Directory when connecting to our Wireless AP so it means that our Wireless AP is added as client to Radius server.
Thanks in advance!
regards,
Gagamboy

Hi Colin
thanks for your answer, we had the this setting correct. I was able to solve the problem yesterday, we had some faults in the AD mapping.
I didn't know that when I select more AD groups for one ACS group in one step, that the user / host has to be in every of these AD groups (AND conjunction).
Now I only added one AD group for my ACS group and it works. The error message "AD user restriction" was not very helpful for finding this fault ;-)

Error while adding essbase server(V9.3.1)

Hi All,
I have installed all essbase related products and configured everything thru configuration utility successfully.But while adding essbase server through ADMINISTARTION SERVICES CONSOLE,I got the following error.
============================================>
Error: -1 com.essbase.eas.net.remote.RemoteStartException: Unable to connect to server LENOVO-91845925. Reason: Connection timed out: connect

I am sure that I am giving correct credentials as I did it couple of times.I just added the essbase server as LOCALHOST and username as ADMIN and password as PASSWORD and confirm password as PASSWORD.I am not sure where I am making mistake.or Do I need to configure anything after adding the ADMINISTARTION SERVER through CONSOLE.
Please let me know if you have any idea on this.
Thanks in Advance..

Hi Sandeep,
Yes,While configuring essbase server,it has asked me to provide userid and password twice.
First time:
By default it came with userid as hypuser.But i changed it to essadmin(This is the user which i have created in database specifcally for essbase).
Second Time:
After the above step is completed ,when i click next,It was asking the for userid.By default it came with admin.I left it as it is and provided password as password.
After this it took several mins to configure and finally came out successfully.
Now my doubt is that Do I need to provide essadmin(which i have given while configuring essbase server) while adding essbase server through CONSOLE?.
Thanks.

How to configure Sql Server 2008 R2 for debugging without disabling Windows Firewall?

When I try to debug a procedure in Sql Server 2008 R2 I get a dialog box telling me to unblock some ports.
>>
The Windows Firewall on this machine is currently blocking remote debugging. Remote debugging requiers that the debugger be allowed to receive informatino from the network. Remote debugging also requires DCOM (TCP Port 135) and IPSEC (UDP 4500
/ UDP 500) be unblocked.
<<
I went to the Windows Firewall and added some new Inbound rules for each of the specified ports (in the images below. But after this and rebooting entire computer -- I still get this dialog box when I want to go into debug mode from SSMS. I can
actually kind of debug standalone code in the SSMS window if I cancel the dialog box. But I can't debug an actual stored procedure -- which is what I need to do. I also noticed that my server has an IP address instead of LocalHost. This is
not a public Server -- it's my private development machine which is on a peer to peer network (with one other workstation), but I don't need that workstation to be able to access this server.. Would localholst make a difference for debugging? How
should I configure the sql server? The firewall?
Rich P

Use PRINT and SELECT for debugging. That's what I do. I used to play with the debugger in SQL 2000 and older days, but I realised that I spent more time on getting it to work that I gained from using it.
I thought about that. I guess that IS the way to go. Very well. Thank you for the suggestion. Although, when the debugger does work in the regular window (not a stored proc because it doesn't work there) the debugger IS nice.
For debugging my proc I am thinking I will insert param vals into a test collection table for now. One obscure error I am getting with a particular proc -- in a When loop on one parameter I get the "value will be truncated" error -- but everything
is set to accept 1000 characters and none of the source data even comes close to 1000 characters. I have isolated at what point the error occurs and which section of data where the error is occurring but I have not isolated the cause of the error.
I cannot reproduce the error when I run the procedure by hand in a regular query window with the exact same code. The error only occurs when the code is run in the stored proc.

hey i also have this problem i have been looking for solution for this problem for along time i tried every possible solution i tried every service pack for the SQL but it didn't connect to the port!!!
it's a network problem ur java code is correct dont worry about it.
finally i had to install MySQL and it's work fine now but if u insist on usning SQL u have to use the JDBC-ODBC Bridge it will work by :
first add data source database , follow these steps
1- go to Administrative tools
2-Data Sources(ODBC)
3-System DNS tab and add then choose SQL SERVER the last option then finish
4-write the name; Note: this name is the one that u will write in ur URL for example if u write Hello the URL will be "jdbc:odbc:Hello"
5- choose the server, its recommended to write "." or (local)
6-change the database to its an important step to choose the database that u want to use, choose northwind if u want to use it
finish
second
adding this code:
import java.sql.*;
class JdbcTest1 {
public static void main (String[] args) {
try {
// Step 1: Load the JDBC driver.
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
// Step 2: Establish the connection to the database.
String url = "jdbc:odbc:Hello";
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"user1","password");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Got an exception! ");
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
it will work without any problems

We´ve got two Windows 2003 Server R2 machines, with installed Cisco ACS For Windows 4.1.(1) Build 23 used for RADIUS users authentication and now days we´re trying to deploy now a TACACS+ configuration to the network device manage now from those ACSs, TACACS+ Accounting tab works fine, but the Accounting administration records or logs are updated but when I click on the TACACS+ Administration Tab the showed log files are empty, I knew about a bug in the 4.1 versión, the question is?
Can I fix the issue if I upgrade or install only the 4.1.1.23-5 patch?
It´ll be enough?
Many thanks.

Using Active Directory and ACS for Concentrator 3000 VPN

Has anyone gone down the path of using Cisco ACS for network access control AND authenticating it with their W2K Active Directory for VPN 3000 concentrators? I did some research on Google, Cisco web, and this group, I did not find a definite answer on the best practice for the architecture and design, can anyone share your experience how you approached this?
Below is my understanding, I appeciate any help to piece some or all the below together
(1) The end state is once a VPN user is successfully authenticated, it is assigned to certain network access privilege based on its group's policy. How to accomplish this?
(2) AD stores a central user database for user authentication. Each user may belong to one or more groups on the AD; ACS is reponsible for network access control for the specific groups and enforces these controls to the users via the concentrators.
(3) Concentrator is the NAS, and ACS is the RADIUS server
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps2284/products_configuration_example09186a00800949b4.shtml
(4) Concentrator can link to the AD as an external database: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/vpn/vpn3000/4_1/gs/gs3mgr.htm
(5) A single "Tunnel Group" is created on the concentrator
(6) Mulpile Groups, per corporate infosec policies are created on the AD
(7) Mulpile Groups, per corporate infosec policies are also created on ACS, need to match with what're in the AD
TIA.

In order to restrict access for a specific AD group to specific SSID this is what you need to perform.
When the WLC sends an authentication request to the ACS, it will include the SSID that the user is connecting to, in the attribute Calling-Station-Id(31). We can use this information to create multiple rules in ACS 5.x in order to take actions based on the information contained in the attribute.
Under the Users and Indetity Stores > click on Directory Groups > select > check the group name you want to add and hit ok. Save the changes.
We just need to create a DNIS rule that includes the name of the SSID and use it as a condition in any rule that we create for authentication. The * is required because the attribute not only contains the SSID but also a MAC address so the * is use as a regular expression.
Now go to access-policies > default-network access > identity should be AD1.
Go to authorization > click on customize > move the AD1:ExternalGroups and end-station filter attribute on the right side and hit ok.
After that slect the appropriate ad group for teachers and end-station filter.
Save changes.

What are the advantages to adding a server to my home/home office system?

What are the advantages to adding a server to my home/home office system?

It's hard to give you specific answers unless we know your current setup. Any server, or specifically OS X server, may not be appropriate for your workflow.
A server is a centralized computer which can act as a file repository for other computers and devices to access. It can also centrally manage authentication for other resources (ie, have a single sign in for multiple services), can act as a web server, a calendar server, and other features. Of course, many of those things are available from other providers, but having your own server means that you have more control (and responsibility) over them.
This is a good place to start:

Error when adding Essbase server...

Hi,
I installed Hyperion System 9.3.1 in my development machine and encounter the following error when adding a Essbase server in AAS for the first time.
Error: 1042017: Network error: The client or server timed out waiting to receive data using TCP/IP. Check network connections. Increase the NetRetryCount and/or NetDelay values in the ESSBASE.CFG file. Update this file on both client and server. Restart the client and try again.
I used the default user "admin" and password "password". I used my servername:10080 as the server name. I hope I am right.
Why is this happening? I tried changing netdelay settings but still get the same. Is this something else? Does this have anything to do with my TCP/IP settings? I am installing this on a virtual PC.
I couldn't find an answer in previous posts.

The things that come to mind:
The server name you use should be the name of the virtual PC, not the machine it's running on. Also, depending on the settings for the Virtual PC environment, you may have to change the network options to allow it to be visible to the network, be in the right domain, etc...
The above may or may not get you any closer, the error message itself is just saying it can't receive a response from the server, which means the server never got the request or can't send a response back.
Good Luck,
