Cisco Secure Access Control System vs ISE

Can someone tell me what the difference is between these two systems?  Is there a feature on one that I can not use on the other?

TACACS+ to begin.  No tacacs on ISE in its present form.  I'm basically transitioning all user radius based auth to ISE and keeping admin tacacs based auth on ACS.  ACS does DACLs, but only based on user or group membership.  ISE does DACLs based on very customizable rules and posture assessment.

  • Cisco Secure Access Control Server for Windows 3.0

    I have to rebuild a server using Cisco Secure Access Control Server for Windows 3.0 ... I cannot locate this software under "download software" in cisco.com ..
    where can I download a copy for Cisco Secure Access Control Server for Windows 3.0 ?

    Hi,
    You can not download the ACS windows Solution engines softwares from the cisco.com > download pages as these s/w are not available there. You can only download patches and remote agent software.
    In order to get any ACS software/ upgrade assistance you need to open up a TAC case.
    Also, ACS 3.0 is not supported by Cisco anymore..getting support for this version or any 3.x is not possible.

  • Integrating with external access control system

    Hi,
    I am new at the network but have read a lot recently about the above subject as much as I could. However, I am a bit mixed up at something. I understand in order to update SAP HR module with employees time and attendance logs I need to interface with a certified PDC interface => (SAP ECC - PLANT DATA COLLECTION - TIME & ATTENDANCE AND EMPLOYEE EXPENDITURES (HR-PDC)
    I wish to develop a system that updates the the SAP HR with employee attendance logs. In addition I also wish enroll new employees into my access control system database by polling the SAP HR database.
    Now my question is if I use .NET connector:
    1. Does the connector it include functions that can help with the above requirements?
    2. Is the use of PDC interface here still a must?
    Thanks

    For time management with the help of transaction pt80 you can download the information about employees with the help of idoc. And there are some programs a.k.a connectors that link access control systems and SAP so that you do not hire the same employee in the access control problem. You hire the employee in SAP and SAP sends the information (HR Minimaster DATA) to the related program.
    It is also do the same thing for the employees who resign. I mean if an employee is fired or resigned from the company than it is sent to the related system.
    These can be found under PDC integrated systems. You can find information about the systems from Ecohub. http://ecohub.sap.com/
    I hope this answer will help.

  • Integrating SAP HCM with third party Access Control System

    Hi Experts,
    We have client using SAP HCM and intend procuring an Access Control Solution to manage her people.
    What the client wants to avoid though is having to create a new employee in SAP HCM and manually creating same in the Access Control Software. Is there a way this can be automated such that upon recruitment of new staff, the data is updated in the Access Control DB which uses MS SQL? If this is possible, what is required to get this working well.
    Thanks for your support in this regard.

  • Problem with Cisco Secure Access Server 3.0

    Hi All,
    Please what is my problem? I use Cisco Secure Access Server Version 3.0 for Windows 2000/NT Servers to authenticate users on our wireless network. I however wish to assign monthly time limits to each user after which he/she will no longer have access until next month or the timer is reset. I tried this with the "User Usage Quota" under User setup. I set the Server to "Limit user to X hours of online time per Month" and enabled the "Use these settings" and also checked the box by the side of the option. I saved and restarted my server. Unfortunetly the settings did not work for all the users whose quotas I set.
    What Am I doing wrong. Please assist.
    Chafe

    Do you have your AP's sending accounting data? If not, ACS has no way of knowing how long they've been online?
    You can utilize your ACS logging to see what your accounting looks like to confirm whether you are receiving accounting packets or not?

  • Cisco nac access control

    Dear All,
    I have depolyed a cisco nac solution in inband virtual gateway mode.Everything is working fine.The issue is that i want to restrict intranet server access.Usually there is a web server configured on it and users can access by typing http://intranet.There are also shared resources on it.
    I want certain users to be able to access shared ressources but not access the intranet by typing http://intranet.I created access rules in traffic control to deny tcp protocol from the specified source to the destination ip address of the server on port 80and permit everything else.Users continue to access both ressources.
    Since it was not working, created access-list on the L3 3560 switch to deny connection on 172.31.0.3:80 and permit everything else and applied it to the users vlan svi.Still it does not work.
    How can i make it happen ?Please help.
    Thanks

    Multiple Vulnerabilities in the WLSE Appliance - Cisco 2011-12-10
    There are two vulnerabilities that exist in the CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine (WLSE). The first is a cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that may allow an attacker to gain administrative privileges on the system. The second is a local privilege escalation vulnerability that can be used by an attacker who already has authenticated access to the command line interface to obtain access to the underlying operating system. Cisco has made free software available to address this vulnerability for affected customers. This advisory is available at http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20060419-wlse
    Is WLSE part of WCS or am I grasping at straws here? Our techies don't seem to think so

    http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/830316

    1. Its possible but some sort of lock/bug is preventing the removal of the controller. Is the controller reachable? Have you attempted to restart NCS to see if you are able to remove the controller afterwards?
    2. 8510 not supported on NCS, you must upgrade to Cisco Prime 1.3.x or higher.

  • Cisco Prime Network Control System (NCS) - Reports

    Hiya Supporters !
    Just wonder how to make a report showing me which AP's in my setup that NEVER have any associated clients on, and/or over a given period of time, like 1 or months.
    seems like I can get some reports under :
    reports - report launch pad - clients
    but i can not get clients count = 0 by "AP name"
    anyone know how ?
    I use WLC's versions 7.0.116 and NCS 1.0.2.29 appliance on ESX

    mbilgrav,
    There is a command on the NCS CLI that looks interesting:
    # ncs db reinitdb
    wilab-ncs/admin# ncs db ?  reinitdb  Reinitialize NCS database by dropping all the tables
    DISCLAIMER: I'm not a database guy, I've never used this command, and I have no idea what the ramifications are (I've searched and haven't found much). If you do decide to try it, snapshot/backup first and proceed at your own risk.
    UPDATE: Curiousity got the best of me and I ran this command on my own lab NCS. I can confirm that this wipes out the NCS database completely and dumps you back to defaults. All user accounts except root are deleted, along with maps, devices and settings. The only thing that appears to be preserved is licensing. So... this could be useful if you wanted to re-attempt a WCS database migration: You could delete the offending AP entry within WCS first, then migrate your db over to NCS and presumably it would import without this AP record. That's assuming you came over from WCS in the first place, which I don't think you mentioned.
    Other than that, you could try TAC. It sounds like a corrupt database entry or a bug to me, so maybe they can give you a sql query that will clear it out from the CLI or something.
    If it were my system, I would snapshot/backup the 1.0 installation and then upgrade to 1.1. If you don't like the upgrade or if it breaks anything, you can restore your 1.0 snapshot.
    Please let us know if/how you are able to resolve the issue.
    Justin

    Is this software licensed by server with an unlimited amount of devices that connect to it? Or do I license each device that uses it?

    You can connect unlimited devices i.e."AAA Clients" to acs server.

    Hello,
    I try to reproduce with WLST script the input from the consol to declare user on Access Control proxy (security).
    sbconsol->$Proxy Service->Security->General Confiruration->Access Control->Transport Access Control->Add Conditions
    * First implementation without success with the com.bea.wli.sb.security.management.configuration.ServiceSecurityConfigurationMBean : accessControlSecurity1()
    * Second try with the service definition of the proxy service but cannot parse with Xpath accessControl Security2()
    any idee ???
    test case :
    prerequisit

  • Cisco Network Control System software

    As far as I know, the NCS is an appliance. But today some people told me that he has a copy of Cisco's Network Control System software. I am confused. If what he said is true, can I install the software on the Windows platforms like Win2003 or Win2008?
    Thanks in advance.
