Cisco ACS 5.2 (esx 4 vm) and Monitoring and Reports failure
I am evaling the Cisco ACS 5.2 Virtual Appliance on ESX4 and everything is working fine except for the "Monitoring and Reports" no matter what browser I try, it just keeps loading new tabs of the welcome screen, in the case of some browser versions it does this and does not stop.
I have tried the following browsers on Win7 Pro: IE 8, Firefox 4, Firefox 3, Chrome 12.
I have tried the following browsers on MacOS 10.6: FireFox 4, Safari 5.0.5
In Safari 5.0.5 it calls up one new window, but doesn't load anything in the right hand frame.
This is a fresh install, with an eval license. I am rather annoyed that it doesn't work out of the box, especially when there was not documentation that mentioned that anything needed to be setup for this to work after initial install, unless I missed something.
I installed the VM with the base 5.0.26 ISO and then applied patches 5.0.26-1 through 5.0.26-5.
Can anyone provide any help on this?

Cisco ACS Server Tacacs Based on LDAP AND Source IP Possible???
Hi All,
I have used Cisco ACS tacacs for authentication based on Active Directory. Is it possible to use Active Directory as a criteria for authentication AND source IP?
For example, if someone wants to log in to a certain device... they must have correct credentials AND their IP must be sourcing from the acceptable subnet range.
Thanks!I see your point. This will depend if the user's IP is provided in the authentication request, if this information is provided then you can use the feature called "End Station Filter". This feature is used as a Condition in the Access Policy to deny or allow access. Below are the steps:
1. Create a End Station Filter, here configure the user's IP
2. Customize your Conditions under Access Policies/Authorization to use End Station Filter
3. Define your rule with the required result -
Cisco Prime 4.2, Inventory group management and reports group
Hi
I have created some groups under Inventory > Group Management > Device. This works fine.
Then I want to create a monthly report for Reports > Performance > Device > Availability. Here I guessed I would find my groups created under inventory.
But I can se the groups, one group is duplicated, but all groups are empty. Under all devices, I can only see 6 og th devices but it should have been 122. Under the different subnet groups, there's no devices.
Should'nt I've seen the groups created under inventory when I want to make a report? Under the device list for quick report.
Br
GeirHm.... strange I've been looking around under Report, and looked at Inventory and Performance reports.
Inventory > Detailed Device shows all the devices and my groups.
Performance > Device > Availability show just 6 out of my 122 devices.
Under Inventory > Group Managment > Device I have a group called Datasenter.
Under Performance > Device > Availability I can see 2 of these groups, but their both empty.
When i delete this group, one of them dissapeer from Under performance. WHen I create it again, it comes back but empty.
Something must be corrupt.

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. -

RSA SecurID and Cisco ACS integration for user(s) with enable mode
I thought I had this problem figured out but I guess not.
I have a Cisco 2621 router with IOS 12.2(15)T17. Behind the
router is a Gentoo linux, RSA SecurID 6.1 and Cisco ACS 3.2.
I use tacacs+ authentication for logging into the Cisco router
such as telnet and ssh. In the ACS I use "external user databases"
for authentication which proxy the request from the ACS over
to the RSA SecurID Server. I installed RSA Agents with
sdconf.rec file on the Cisco ACS server. I renamed "user group 1"
to be "RSA_SecurID" group. In the "External user databases" and
"database configurations" I assign SecurID to this "RSA_SecurID"
group.
Everything is working fine. In the "User Setup" I can see dynamic
user test1, test2,...testn listed in there as "dynamic users". In
other words, I can telnet into the router with my two-factor
SecurID.
The problem is that if test1 wants to go into "enable" mode with
SecurID login, I have to go into "test1" user setting and select
"TACACS+Enable Password" and choose "Use external database password".
After that, test1 can go into enable mode with his/her SecurID
credential.
Well, this works fine if I have a few users. The problem is that
I have about 100 users that I need to do this. The solution is
clearly not scalable. Is there a setting from group level that
I can do this?
Any ACS "experts" want to help me out here? Thanks.That is not what I want. I want user "test1" to be able to do this:
C
Username: test1
Enter PASSCODE:
C2960>en
Enter PASSCODE:
C2960#
In other words, test1 user has to type in his/her RSA token password to get
into exec mode. After that, he/she has to use the RSA token password to
get into enable mode. Each user can get into "enable" mode with his/her
RSA token mode.
The way you descripbed, it seemed like anyone in this group can go directly
into enable mode without password. This is not what I have in mind.
Any other ideas? Thanks. -
EAP Chaining with Cisco ACS 5.x and the Cisco Anyconnect NAM Client
Hi Guys,
Whilst I’m well aware of the limitations of the built in the windows Wireless 802.1x supplicant. Is there a way, using the NAM client to authenticate both a computer and a user simultaneously, when used for authentication to wireless networks?
As has been posted many times before on this forum, this isn’t possible due to windows not authenticating with the 'computer account' whilst the user is logged in, but with the NAM client it seems possible to do both user and computer authentication based on the options it gives you with EAP-Fast and 'EAP Chaining'.
Can anyone validate this is possible? I have the design guide for exactly this for Cisco ISE but i need it to work on ACS (5.x).
Thanks in advance.
SteveHBobby, I ran into the same issue with the "15015 Could not find ID Store" issue. It turned out to be an issue with communication between the ACS and AD. It looked like AD was connected successfully, but until I rebooted ACS, I kept getting the same error. It was like it couldn't see the AD security groups even though it could scan the AD tree successfully.
So, try rebooting ACS if you haven't already and see if that resolves the error. -
Cisco Secure ACS 5.4/Monitoring and Report Viewer - SNMP Settings
Hello Everyone.
I hope this is the right forum for my question.
We just purchased 8 1121 ACS 5.4 appliances. I have some familiarity with the older 1113 and 1120 appliances running ACS 4.2. So I have a lot to learn.
Right now I'm trying to understand the Monitoring and Report Viewer System Configuration. I set the SNMP V2 read comm. string to the same string I configured from the CLI.
etc-labacsb1-1/admin# show runn | inc snmp
snmp-server contact "ACS1121;XXXXX"
snmp-server location "B1 Lab"
snmp-server community XXXXXX ro
1) It was not the same string as configured on CLI. Does setting this give me access to query more than system type or server type MIB objects.
2) Can you provide an example? (for example to query a switch - snmpwalk -v 1 -c XXXXXX hostname 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.43)
3) What is the MIB object tree OID (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.???) for these ACS appliances?
Thanks in advance.
Ray Westphal
EHIthat's correct. here is what we have in ACS 5.4 for snmp.
ACS 5.4 supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to provide logging services. The SNMP agent provides read-only SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c support. The supported MIBs include:
•SNMPv2-MIB
•RFC1213-MIB (MIB II)
•IF-MIB
•IP-MIB
•TCP-MIB
•UDP-MIB
•CISCO-CDP-MIB
•ENTITY-MIB

Integration of Cisco ACS SE 4.2 and RSA SecurID Token Server
Hi,
I would be very appreciated if anyone can share their experience. Thanks in advance.
Issue:
I am trying to configure the ACE SE 4.2 to authenticate using RSA SecurID Token Server.
Problems encountered:
Authentication failed. In the failed logged attempt the error "External Database not operational" was next to the login name.
In the auth.log, there was "External DB [SecurID.dll]: aceclnt.dll callback returned error [23]".
Questions:
1. Please kindly advise how I should resolve this problem.
2. Also, is there any successful message once ACS get the sdconf.rec? Will the "Purge Node Secret" button be enabled?
Troubleshooting steps I have done:
Below is the steps I took to setup the external DB.
1. Verified sdconf.rec is not a garbage file using the Test authentication function in RSA client.
2. FTP sdconf.rec in the external database configuration. (Had used Wireshark and confirm file transfered successfully.)
2. Defined unknown user policy to check RSA SecurID Token Server to authenticate.
Thank you.I have NO experience with ACS SE 4.2 and
RSA SecurID Token Server BUT I have
experiences with Cisco ACS 4.1 running on
Windows 2003 SP2 Enterprise Edition and
RSA SecurID Token Server.
All the troubleshoot you've done is correct.
In Windows 2003 running Cisco ACS, you can
install the test authentication RSA client
and that you can verify that the setup
is correct (by verifying that the sdconf.rec
is not corrupted).
One thing I can think of is that when you
setup the ACS SE box, under external
database, configure unknown user policy,
did you check it to tell how to define users
when they are not found in the ACS internal
database. Did you select RSA SecurID token
server?
Other than that, from what I understand,
you've done everything correctly. -
Integration Of Cisco ACS and MS Active Directory !!!
Hi all,
We have and Cisco ACS v4.2 on a Cisco Appliance, and we need to integrate it with Active Directory. Can you help me??
Thanks for your help
Regards!!!
Rafael TurriagoHi,
If you have ACS SE and you want to integrate with MS AD, then you need to install Cisco ACS Remote Agent on a PC that belongs to the domain.
The ACS SE does not "speak" directly to the DCs, but rather to the ACS Remote Agent.
The Remote Agent is the application responsible to exchange data with the DCs.
You can find detailed information in the config guide:

Juniper SSG and Cisco ACS v5.x Configuration
I searched for a long time unsuccessfully trying to find a resolution to my SSG320M and Cisco ACS v5.x TACACS dilemma. I finally got it working in my network, so I'm posting the resolution here in case anyone else is looking.
Configure the Juniper (CLI)
1. Add the Cisco ACS and TACACS+ configuration
set auth-server CiscoACSv5 id 1
set auth-server CiscoACSv5 server-name 192.168.1.100
set auth-server CiscoACSv5 account-type admin
set auth-server CiscoACSv5 type tacacs
set auth-server CiscoACSv5 tacacs secret CiscoACSv5
set auth-server CiscoACSv5 tacacs port 49
set admin auth server CiscoACSv5
set admin auth remote primary
set admin auth remote root
set admin privilege get-external
Configure the Cisco ACS v5.x (GUI)
1. Navigate to Policy Elements > Authorization and Permissions > Device Administration > Shell Profiles
Create the Juniper Shell Profile.
Click the [Create] button at the bottom of the page
Select the General tab
Name: Juniper
Description: Custom Attributes for Juniper SSG320M
Select the Custom Attributes tab
Add the vsys attribute:
Attribute: vsys
Requirement: Manadatory
Value: root
Click the [Add^] button above the Attribute field
Add the privilege attribute:
Attribute: privilege
Requirement: Manadatory
Value: root
Note: you can also use 'read-write' but then local admin doesn't work correctly
Click the [Add^] button above the Attribute field
Click the [Submit] button at the bottom of the page
2. Navigate to Access Policies > Access Services > Default Device Admin > Authorization
Create the Juniper Authorization Policy and filter by Device IP Address.
Click the [Customize] button at the bottom Right of the page
Under Customize Conditions, select Device IP Address from the left window
Click the [>] button to add it
Click the [OK] button to close the window
Click the [Create] button at the bottom of the page to create a new rule
Under General, name the new rule Juniper, and ensure it is Enabled
Under Conditions, check the box next to Device IP Address
Enter the ip address of the Juniper (192.168.1.100)
Under Results, click the [Select] button next to the Shell Profile field
Select 'Juniper' and click the [OK] button
Under Results, click the [Select] button below the Command Sets (if used) field
Select 'Permit All' and ensure all other boxes are UNCHECKED
Click the [OK] button to close the window
Click the [OK] button at the bottom of the page to close the window
Check the box next to the Juniper policy, then move the policy to the top of the list
Click the [Save Changes] button at the bottom of the page
3. Login to the Juniper CLI and GUI, and attempt to change something to verify privilege level.Cisco Prime LMS is not designed to manage appliances like the ACS. ACS is not on the LMS supported device list and I would doubt that it would be as LMS's functions are mostly not applicable to the appliance or software running on it.
You can use ACS as an authentication source for LMS, but authorization is still role-based according to the local accounts on the LMS server. -

Why am I getting this error? I have full
connectivity between the ACE and the ACS
server. Furthermore, the ACS server
works fine with other Cisco IOS devices.
Please help. Thanks.Thanks. Now I have another problem. I CAN
log into the ACE via tacacs+ account(s).
However, I get error when I try going into

Cisco ACS 4.2 and Radius authentication?
Hi,
I have a Cisco ACS 4.2 installed and using it to authenticate users that log on to switches using TACACS+, when I use local password database, everything is working. But if i try to use external database authentication using a windows 2008 radius server, I have problem that I can only use PAP, not CHAP. Anyone who know if it's possible to use CHAP with external radius authentication?To access network devices for administrative purpose, we have only three methods available :
[1] Telnet : Which uses PAP authentication protocol between client and the NAS device. So the communication between Client and NAS is unencrypted, and when this information flows from NAS to IAS server gets encrypted using the shared secret key configured on device/IAS server.
[2] SSH : Which uses public-key cryptography for encrypting information between client and the NAS device, i.e, information sent between client
and NAS is fully secure. And the communication between NAS and IAS is encrypted using shared secret same as above. Good point on SSH side is that commincation channel is secure all the time.Again the authentication type would remain same that is PAP.
[3] Console:Which is also the same it will not allow to use MSCHAP as there is no need to secure it as you laptop is connected directly to the NAS and then if you are using TACACS it will encrypt the payload .
Summarizing, we cannot use CHAP, MS-CHAP, MS-CHAP V2 for communication between client and NAS device or administrative access.
And the most secure way to administer a device is to use SSH.

Integrating Cisco ACS and Cisco NAC Manager - Downloadable ACL
Hi There
I have Cisco NAC setup in my environment. These are all working fine. The users will get themselves authenticated via Cisco NAC Manager. The Cisco NAC Manager talks to the Cisco ACS for the user database portion. These are all working fine. I would like to enable Downloadable ACL. I have tried using the CISCO-AV-PAIR method and creating a downloadable ACL entry in Shared Components, but nothing works. It's either I'm doing it wrongly or this setup of mine doesn't support downloadable ACL? Please kindly advice.
Regards,
Ram
+6-012-2918870Hi,
That is not possible.
You cannot push ACLs into the NAC manager.
If you are doing Radius authentication from NAC manager, what you can do is to create Roles on the NAC manager, and on those roles you define traffic policies.
Using Radius attributes you can then map users to Roles.
Please take a look into this:
