Cisco ACS v4.2 and WAAS CM

I have been mulling over this issue on and off for some time now. I have an ACS server which i am using to authenticate both the AE units and the central manager. TACACS+ works perfectly with regards to authenticating via the CLI, but i am having trouble with getting the web GUI access to that same group in the ACS server. I am running 4.1.5c on the WAAS CM.
I have read through the configuration documents and have made a user group named exactly as it is on the ACS server, and have assigned that group an admin role and privileges over all of my units including the CM. So far i have enabled these options in my TACACS+ settings:
shell(exec)
Privilege level (assigned to 15)
I am assuming that i have to add a web command under "Unmatched Cisco IOS commands," but I cannot find any documentation as to which arguments i need to pass to it.
If anyone could help me with this i would appreciate it.

Have you created individual user accounts in the Central Manager that match the user ID on you ACs system? If the user does not have an account in the CM under Admin>AAA>Users then they will probalby get logged in to the CM but will have no privileges.

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.

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.
SteveH

Bobby, 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 ACS 4.2 and Windows 2008 R2 CA

Has anyone been successfully in getting a cert off of a 2008 R2 CA and imported correct in to ACS 4.2? I've had and have seen other have the problem with creating a web server certificate from R2 (1024 bit) and putting it in ACS 4.2 only to have HTTPS/SSL no longer work correctly. I haven't even tested the intended purpose of the cert (EAP-TLS) yet, so who knows if that works. I've also seen through searching where some one was able to take a 2003 CA web server template and put it into R2 and it work, but I know longer have 2003 available? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Raun

I have seen issues where the template on the R2 boxes are using elliptical curve cryptography, basically if the template has a '#" charcter in it is what I think causes this process to be used. Try to use a template that doesnt have this in the front and then try to generate a cert against the template you created.
Here is a snip of the guide that I am forwarding you:
Determining Whether to Implement Cryptography Next Generation Algorithms
For Windows Server 2008–based version 3 certificate templates, the option exists to configure advanced cryptographic algorithms such as elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). Before configuring these settings, ensure that the operating systems and applications deployed in your environment can support these cryptographic algorithms.

Cisco ACS 5.1 and MAC address identification/quarantining

A client is rolling out ACS 5.1, with the eventual intent of customization network access based on Active Directory credentials (user/group, etc) – ACL’s and VLAN restrictions will be implemented as part of a “2nd phase” deployment. For NOW, all they want is the ability to isolate devices connecting to the network by MAC address, meaning: if it’s a recognized MAC address (corporate asset), then allow full access through the port. If it’s NOT a recognized MAC address (non-corporate asset), then place it in the guest network/VLAN.
I’m familiar with ACS operation, configuration of policies and authorization rules, and MAC Authentication Bypass (for devices that should not have to authenticate to gain access). What I don’t know for sure (and haven’t yet been able to find), is if ACS has the ability to react simply to the MAC address and quarantine that host into a guest network.
Please confirm, and as always, reference links/docs are appreciated.

Hi,
The goal you want to achieve is possible but not with MAB.
What you want can easily be done if you do machine authentication rather then MAB.
With machine authentication you can have something called Machine Access Restriction, which mean that both machine and user authentication has to be done, for the user to have access to the network.
In this scenario, whenever a user tries to log in via dot1x, the ACS checks the machine on which the user is logging in, and the user authentication is only successfull if the machine authentication was successfull.
For this to work you have to register the machines in the domain as well as the users.
Machines that do not exist on the domain, will fail machine authentication, and no user will be allowed to login in that machine.
To configure this on the ACS you simply have to go to the Authorization part of the Access Policy, clic "Customize" and add the "Condition" "Was machine authenticated", as I show in the image below:
Then, you create a new Rule and this Condition will be available:
On the client side you need to make sure that they do dot1x machines authentication.
This allows you a very fast way of securing both machines and users, so that only trusted machines (that exist in the domain) are allowed on the network and users can only access network by logging in from a trusted machine.
HTH,
Tiago

Cisco ACS 5.4 + Anyconnect 3.1 NAM with 802.1x, problem with changing ACS Radius user password

Dear all,
Presently, we are testing 802.1x using Cisco ACS 5.4 and Cisco Anyconnect v3.1 as 802.1x supplicant. We have created predefined NAM profiles (with Cisco Profile Editor) and applied as default in on our test machine. We are using PEAP (MsCHAPv2) and ACS local user credentials for authenticating process. We have noticed that, when we try to authenticate the network with predefined profile (network profile has Administrator Network privileges) and Windows user on test machine has no Admin privileges we are not able to change ACS user password (checked "Change password on next login" in the ACS user profile). In the Monitoring and Report View we get Failure Reason "24203 User need to change password" but no popup window apears in Anyconnect. When we change Windows local user privileges to Admin or create Anyconnect network profile localy (privileges User Network) then, we are able to finish the process.
Have you ever been facing the problem described above. Is it Anyconnect bug? How can we fix it?
Best regards,
Piotr

If this happens with all machines then if a microsoft guy can look the app logs/privileges. It seems the app is requesting privilege that it is not authorized to and that's why the propmt window fails to appear. If we know what that privilege is we can probably fix it. If that privilege is not even required for smooth work Cisco need probably to fix this behavior.
I am sorry if I am not able to help but I am not using the anyconnect for production.
Regards,
Amjad

Cisco ACS 5.2 with NX-OS devices (Nexus) - User issues

Hey Community, I am having a really strange issue with Cisco ACS 5.2 and NX-OS Nexus Devices.
I create an account on ACS, let's call it User1, and give it privilege 15. With User1, I'm able to access on all of our IOS, IOS-XE, ASA, and PIX devices with privilege 15.
When I use that same User1 account into our NEXUS devices, I do NOT get privilege 15 access. As you probably know, NEXUS devices have roles: pre-defined or custom-made roles. So I assumed I would get the role of 'network-admin' (priv 15 read/write) with User1 when logging in, but instead I get the role of 'vdc-operator' (priv 1 read-only).
So then I tried to tweak User1 and give it network-admin under Shell profile >> Custom Attributes. I logged into the NEXUS and sure enough I was able to get network-admin access. However, my access to ALL the other devices (IOS, ASA, PIX, etc) doesn't work AT ALL! I'm not even able to log in with my username and password to these devices.
Has anyone ever run into this problem? Please Help!
Thanks,

Cisco ACS 5.3 multiple AD domains

Hello everyone
I do have a quick question about Cisco ACS 5.3 and multi domain authentication. How is it exactly handled?
Can I join more than one domain with the ACS server? Or do I still need to configure that bidirectional trust relationship between those AD forests (even with the ACS 5.3)?
Thanks,
Markus

Markus,
If you are using peap mschapv2 then you can not use LDAP.
Here is the link when it comes authentication protocol and database support -

Cisco IPSec VPN Client and sending a specific Radius A-V value to ACS 5.2

This setup is to try routing Cisco VPN to either RSA or Entrust from Cisco ACS 5.2, depending on some parameter in incoming AUTH request from Cisco IPSec VPN Client 5.x. Tried playing with pcf files and user names/identity stores, none seems working

Hi Tony,
to the best of my knowledge this is currently not possible, but will be once this enhancement is implemented:
CSCsw31922 Radius upstream VSAs (Tunnel Group,Client type) for VPN policy decisions
You may want to try and ask in the AAA forum if there is anything you can do on ACS...

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.

thanks,

Hi James,
We get External DB is not operational. Could you confirm if under External Databases > Unknown User Policy, and verify you have the AD/ Windows database at the top?
this error means the external server might not correctly configured on ACS external database section.
Another point is to make sure we have remote agent installed on supported windows server.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_server_for_solution_engine/4.2/installation/guide/remote_agent/rawi.html#wp289013
Also provide the Auth logs from the server running remote agent, e.g.:-
AUTH 10/25/2007 15:21:31 I 0376 1276 External DB [NTAuthenDLL.dll]:
Attempting Windows authentication for user v-michal
AUTH 10/25/2007 15:21:31 E 0376 1276 External DB [NTAuthenDLL.dll]: Windows

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.

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.
