Cisco ACS 5.0 on VMware workstation 7

Hi,
I am trying to install ACS 5.0 on workstation, however once the install finsihes it reboots and I enter the Linux bash command line rather than the Cisco CLI.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Ash
Note - this is now fixed. I followed the steps here to install ACS 5.0 on VMware Workstation 7:
http://blog.sudonetworks.com/2010/10/installing-cisco-acs-52-on-a-laptop.html

To log in to ACS server and access the CLI, use an SSH secure shell client or the console port.

Jason,
I just ran into the same issue you're experiencing. After playing around, i found out that when creating the VM, if you choose the SCSI disk (with > 60GB capacity, no need to allocate space) and the LSI Logic adaptor (not Buslogic!) it works perfectly.

Cisco ACS 5.4 Eval on Vmware Workstation demo

I have a project to review CISCO ACS v5.4 for my client, not having a real ESxi server i opted using workstation.
I have the vm built using 150gb file and am able to run the setup for domain and ip addressing as well as firewall settings and services.
using a c2811 for ntp source and routing to other laptops in my lab.
I am unable to web into the acs server to access anything
Can someone please point me in the right direction on what I am missing besides an actual ESXi server.
Regards,

Followed this thread and I think i have it, its in process and hopefully i can get it going.

Cisco ISE installation on VMware Workstation ?

I am trying to install Cisco ISE image through Vmaware Workstation , but after starting VM getting redhat console but not the same console required for setup of actual ISE . Would like to know whether VMware workstation supported for ISE installation as all the cisco docs specifies the image to be mounted on ESX server, then login to client to run setup.. Please help...

Cisco "Officially" supports VMWare's ESXi/vSphere platform. Yes, ISE works in VMWare Workstation, but is not tested on every hardware platform available, therefore, not supported. The the case mentioned above,
I've started installing ISE 1.2 (redhat linux 5 64 bit) , looking at the posts above.. on VMware workstation 9..
1stly I gave 6gb ram ( my laptop has 6 gb ram & 290gb free space ) and started the installation process..
then after the starting stage of checking the requirements of my laptop started and the formatting of the disk began , my lap became very slow & it got hanged there..all my pc processes moved like snails..!! got frustated..
then I restarted my lap and this time I gave 4gb ram .. and it worked fine from then on..
can anyone tell me , if this has to do anthing with the physical memory we give over there in the ise installtion process..does it actually use the entire ram we mention over there..??
Niklas
All possible System RAM was allocated to the ISE VM, and the ISE VM used ALL of the RAM leaving none for the host OS, thereby slowing the machine to a crawl. Once this Virtual RAM was sized to the ISE minimum of 4GB (leaving 2GB dedicated to the host OS), the machine worked correctly. Yes, the ISE VM will happily use ALL the RAM allocated to it.
This is also the reason that Virtual Box and other "Desktop" class virtualization environments cannot be supported across the board. Nearly every machine hosting VMWare Workstation, Virtual Box, etc... has a different chipset, video card, HD controller, and on, and on...
The best thing to do for your situation is to try to install it. If it works, document your EXACT system configuration and the EXACT virtual configuration so that you may look back to it for future installs. You can also use this information to "tweak" the virtual settings until you get a combination that works for you. This will help to document the configurations that do not work on YOUR desktop environment.

CUPS 8.6.1 on VMware Workstation 7.1.2 - After reboot of host, CUPS is unreachable

Hi,
after installing CUPS 8.6.1.10000-34 in VMware Workstation 7.1.2 build-301548 and eventually rebooting the host, CUPS is not reachable via IP anymore, i.e. ping from physical NIC of the host to virtual NIC of the CUPS VM fails (Destination Host Unreachable). This also applies vice versa, as well as to HTTP/HTTPS, SSH traffic, etc.
Before the reboot of the host, there were no issues. The reboot had to be done, due to system updates.
The suprising fact is, that the CUPS can ping the CUCM (8.6.2.20000-2, also running on the same host and VMware Workstation), but no other machine.
In order to disqualify firewall issues, I turned off the host's firewall, as well as the iptables firewall of the CUPS. However the issue still persisted.
Did anyone run in the same problem? So far the only solution was to reinstall CUPS and not to turn off the host...which is not really acceptable, even in a test environment.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
Kind regards
Igor Lukic

The usual problem is that the Cisco OS comes with the WMware drivers for ESXi and not Workstation. As a result the NIC does not come up correctly. Anything that takes down the NIC and brings it up again (such as changing the gateway address) will work until the next time you reboot.
Update the WMware driver in your CUPS
With the CUPS running in WMware use VM/Install WMware tools.
Then on the CLI of CUPS enter: utils vmtools upgrade
You can also check which versions of the WMware driver is installed with: utils vmtools status

Cisco ACS 5.4 problem

Hello
Did anyone experience problem with Service Selection Rules in Cisco ACS. When I click this tab ( it only works for me in google Chrome), configuration is normally opened. But when I want to edit one of two default rules (rules that match radius and tacacs) nothing happens. If I want to add new rule, popup window in normally opened but I am not able to add any conditions or results. It is just nothing to choose from. I have some attributtues under "customize window". It looks like some gui problems.
I am using
acs/admin# sh application version acs

When dealing with Cisco ACS and Cisco ISE you have to be very careful with your web browsers. For example there's a major bug when using Cisco ISE 1.1.x and Chrome.
Back to ACS, please refer to the release notes to see the validated web browsers.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.4/release/notes/acs_54_rn.html#wp222016
I have used ACS and ISE a lot, and we had many problems when using Internet Explorer and Chrome. That's why I prefer Firefox, but even with firefox we had little problems once in a while.

Cisco ACS error codes

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could possibly tell me the usual cause of the following error :
Windows workstation not allowed
It keeps coming up for one of our new wireless workstation even though it sometimes authenticates fine.
thanks,
Matt

Matt,
To satisfy Windows requirements for authentication requests, Cisco Secure ACS must specify the Windows workstation that the user is attempting to log into. Because Cisco Secure ACS cannot determine this information from authentication requests sent by AAA clients, it uses a generic workstation name for all requests. The workstation name used is "CISCO".
In the local domain and in each trusted domain and child domain that Cisco Secure ACS will
use to authenticate users, ensure both of the following:
â¢A computer account named "CISCO" exists.
â¢All users to be authenticated by Windows have permission to log into the computer named
"CISCO".

Issues with Arch 2009.02 in VMware Workstation [SOLVED]

I installed Arch Linux 2009.02 i686 as a guest in VMware Workstation 6.5.1, my host is Vista x64. The installation of Arch itself and Xorg wasn't a problem although from this point I've had several issues.
I was unable to 'startx' or 'xinit' without getting crashes, however adding hal to the daemons fixed that problem - some wiki entries state to add dbus, but dbus is already started. A lot of content on the wiki is outdated, telling users to use hwd; I did install hwd separately (from sourceforge) although it gave me hundreds? of errors related to PCI and eventually failure to parse some x configuration binary in /usr/bin.
Multimedia Issues
I then installed xfce4 and gstreamer-plugins. All video and audio play back too quickly, i.e. it seems to play the streams as fast as they can decode. This also happens with flash content such as youtube after I'd installed the appropriate programs. Thinking this may be a timing issue, I editted the vmware config file on my Windows host although it did not help; the timing in the VM seemed to be correct anyway.
Display Issues
When I run 'startxfce4' from a terminal, Xfce will start as 800x600 - if I go to change this resolution all options show 0Hz as the refresh rate and many options my monitor cannot display are shown even though I have VMware set to allow a maximum size of 1680x1050. I was unable to generate a 'good' xorg.conf file using 'X -configure' and as mentioned earlier, hwd would not work for me. I installed xf86-video-vmware and xf86-video-vesa as well as both open-vm-tools and normal vmware-tools (not at the same time or together) but can't seem to sort this issue. vmware-tools was able to generate a valid xorg.conf file but it only included a handful of 4:3 resolutions and some of these still showed 0hz. For some strange reason 'startx' and 'xinit' now do not work having failed to find /dev/fb0.
VMware Tools
When I did try to install vmware-tools, it had many difficulties trying to build the modules - mostly regarding to not recognising __FREEBSD__, I cannot remember the complete error. I also tried to build open-vm-tools but that gave an error about not being able to find libproc even though I had procps installed. Stopping open-vm-tools on shutdown also always fails and occurs twice.
I'm going to try reinstalling now that I know a little more about what I did to get things working but if anyone could give me a hand it'd be much appreciated.

After a lot of experimentation I've got a satisfactory installation although a few minor problems remain:
Adjustments required to correctly run Alsa+Xorg in Arch Linux 2009.02 using VMware Workstation
The current kernel does not play nicely with alsa, downgrade to kernel26-2.6.29.4-1:
wget http://www.schlunix.org/archlinux/core/ … pkg.tar.gz
pacman -U kernel26-2.6.29.4-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
Install/Upgrade dbus:
pacman -Sy dbus
Add hal (if it's not installed then make sure to do so) to your daemons located in /etc/rc.conf, e.g.
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond hal)
The current open-vm-tools-modules is not compatible with the older kernel, instead use open-vm-tools-modules-2009.04.23-1:
wget http://www.schlunix.org/archlinux/commu … pkg.tar.gz
pacman -U open-vm-tools-modules-2009.04.23-1
The installation will prompt you with an error that /etc/modprobe.conf could not be found (as does the current version), add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:
install pcnet32 /sbin/modprobe -q --ignore-install vmxnet; /sbin/modprobe -q --ignore-install pcnet 32 ; /bin/true;
You can now install open-vm-tools:
pacman -S open-vm-tools
To autoload open-vm-tools on start up you need to add it to your daemons located in /etc/rc.conf, e.g.
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond hal open-vm-tools)
Add vmware-user to your /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file if you desire (for seamless mouse and display switching), e.g. my xinitrc with xfce4 ends with:
vmware-user &
exec startxfce4
Install the following components: xf86-video-vmware xf86-video-vesa xf86-input-vmmouse xf86-input-mouse:
(You will not be able to start x if you have installed xf86-video-fbdev and do not have a valid xorg.conf file, this is addressed later)
pacman -S xf86-video-vmware xf86-video-vesa xf86-input-vmmouse xf86-input-mouse
Lastly we need to edit/create the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to use our vmware drivers, this will enable automatic resolution switching and seamless mouse functionality:
(All of the following is necessary otherwise X will ignore our vmware drivers)
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "VMware Mouse"
Driver "vmmouse"
Option "Protocol" "ps/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "VMware SVGA"
Driver "vmware"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "VMware Config"
InputDevice "VMware Mouse" "CorePointer"
EndSection
Issues
* open-vm-tools fails to stop during a shutdown or /etc/rc.d/open-vm-tools stop/restart
* most screen resolutions show 0Hz (although everything works correctly) and adding VertRefresh to xorg.conf produces a major error
* playback of flash video produces a sound artefact when starting - although I think this may be to do with the decoder rather than system
I've marked this as solved although I welcome any suggestions regarding these minor issues. The open-vm-tools one I can probably sort out but it's too late now to look into tonight

VPN client and Cisco ACS

hi,
I'm trying to setup a VPN solution, connecting to a 800 series router and authenticating off a Cisco ACS tacacs server.
I've basically followed the suggested config at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/tech/tk59/technologies_configuration_example09186a00800a393b.shtml and the setup works fine if I use local authentication, but as soon as I switch to using TACACS the client authentication fails.
Debugging tacacs on the router i can see the requests being sent to the server, and the replies coming back - the login detail are definitely correct so I'm guessing that TACACS isn't authorising me to use VPN or IPSEC or something. But there is nothing in the ACS logs to suggest why I'm not getting through - no failed attempts are shown.
Any ideas?

here is some debug from the router:

"AUTHEN/REPLY status:5" is a permanent fail according to the TACACS RFC
In the VPN Client log it say "User does not provide any authentication data"
So to summarise:
-Same ACS server\router\username combination works fine for telnet access.
-VPN works fine with local authentication.
-No login failures showing in the ACS logs.

Creating a thin client network in VMWare Workstation

I have recently been informed that many our customers have a thin client network in place using Microsoft RDP, Terminal Services / Remote Desktop Services.
What I would like to do is create a virtual thin client network using Server 2008 | Server 2008 R2 | Server 2012. What I am not certain of is how to emulate the "desktop" environments for the clients and how to configure VMWare to work with this type of network.
Is this possible?
I admit that I have never configured a TS before, so hopefully someone here has done this before and can provide some pointers.
I have been searching Google for information but so far have come up short. Perhaps my search criteria is wrong.
I have VMWare Workstation 10 and access to MSDN for a number of ISOs.
Thank you.

Not able to install server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .

Dear Team,
Thanks in advance.
I am facing an issue when installing server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .
This is the error message i get ''windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.''
i have tried changing the initial install option of OS to ''other''. But still its the same.
Finally i have installed it without adding the OS disk in the initial setup. But the problem here is that its asking me activation key.
if you have the activation key for 180 days please let me know.

I have the same problem here.
With VMWare Workstation 10, downloading and using the Windows 2012 R2 ISO evaluation to test.
Shortly after booting up with the ISO, it complains about this message: ''windows cannot find the microsoft software
license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.''
BUT, if you uninstall VMWare Workstation 10 and install VMWare Workstation 9, no problem.
Something wrong with either VMWare Workstation 10 or Windows 2012 R2.
