Joining ACS express to AD

Hi all,
I'm trying to join an ACS express (5.0) to AD. Communication between ACS and AD DCs is correct, but when trying to join the domain I get the following warning:
1.  Saved settings, but error in joining domain. Error: Domain Controller not reachable by name. DNS is setup correctly, however the domain controller is not reachable via the name that is in DNS. This can be caused by the domain controller being unavailable. It may also be caused by the DNS domain name not matching between the AD domain controller and ACS Express appliance.
I have verified that the domain controller is reachable by name, and actually in the logs I can see that at some point the ACS tries to create the computer name in the location specified:
Sep 6 16:28:59 IRMXACSE adjoin[14632]: DEBUG base.bind.ldap xxxxxx.mx.hdi.com:389 fetch dn="<WKGUID=aa312825768811d1aded00c04fd8d5cd,DC=mx,DC=hdi,DC=com>" filter="(objectclass=*)"     (erased name)
ACS tries to create a zone, but at some point the following error message appears:Sep 6 16:28:59 IRMXACSE adjoin[14632]: DEBUG base.osutil GSSKerberos::initSecurityContext - gss_init_sec_context failed (reference ../smb/utils/gsskerberos.cpp:177 rc: -1765328377)
At that point, the binding fails and ACS fails to join the domain.
Any help is highly appreciated,
Thanks!!!

That error resolves to KRB5KDC_ERR_S_PRINCIPAL_UNKNOWN   (-1765328377L). Usually, this is due to either
a missing Service Principal name for AD account or the SPN not being recognized by KDC.  Can you double-check
that it's in a host/domain.name format?
Also, what OS is on the DC you're using?  We've seen this error with 2008 DCs and Express 5.0, which was
resolved by upgrading to 5.0.1.

  • Join acs express to active directory domain

    i have a problem joining acs express active directory domain , both are reachable to each other in the same subnet & no firewalls between them , but when i test the connectivity it gives this error:
    " required service unavailable. DNS is setup correctly , and the domain controller is reachable , however , one of the required services, such as ldap,kerberos, or global catalog service is not available. This issue may arise if there is a firewall between AD domain controller, and the ACS Express appliance"

    It is sounds like a bug CSCsw29387 Join AD domain, with one DC down fails. If the ACS Express is trying to join an AD domain in a multi domain controller environment and one of the domain controllers is down, the ACS Express will fail to join the domain.

    1. initial setup only.
    thank you

    Hi,
    This is the relevant error message:
    "WARN Cannot resolve computer name "pmoacs" in DNS or /etc/hosts"
    Please make sure you have the acs hostname configured on the DNS server.
    The ACS must be able to resolve its own hostname, otherwise this will fail.

  • ACS Express radius authentication AD authorization

    I work at a University and for some reason we have multiple systems for authentication and authorization.  That being said I am trying to use radius to do authentication and AD for authorization for VPNs.  I have the radius authentication working against our radius server.  I have my ACS express setup to join the AD domain and everything looks good there.  I setup the AD server as a radius object in AAA server groups on my ASA.  Then I add the server below in the servers in selected groups window.  I put all the info in there and when I hit test I click authorization and put in the username that I know is in the domain group I have associated with this on the ACS.  The test fails and with authorization failed with invalid password.  When I look at the logs on the ACS I see
    01/06/2011 20:14:26 acsxp/server Warning Server 0 AD Agent Plain Text Authentication Failed for user: username@domain
    01/06/2011 20:14:26 acsxp/server Warning Server 0 Authentication for user username failed for reason = 0
    01/06/2011 20:14:26 acsxp/server Error Protocol 0 Request from 172.20.5.2: User username rejected . by RemoteServer: AD (InvalidPassword). 
    Username and domain are correct I just edited them for posting.  It seems like it is trying to authenticate rather than authorize.  All I want it to do is say yes the user is in this group or no the user is not in this group?  You can't even fill in the password when testing authorization?  Maybe I have something setup wrong on the ACS side but when I look at AD under users and identity stores, it says it is joined to the domain.  When I do AD domain diagnostics under troubleshooting everything looks good.  I have the ASA I am testing from defined as a device and in the ASA device group.  Under access services in Radius access services I have one service that I setup that connects to the AD and it found the group so I know it is connecting.  Any idea what I am doing wrong or where to look?
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Thanks
    Joe

    Hi Joe,
    We could take a deeper look at what is happening through some logs and debugs:
    1. On ACS Express, under
    Reports & Troubleshooting > Troubleshooting > Server Logs
    please set the Express Server Trace Level to 5 and the Web Server Trace Level to 4.
    Also, for the Log Level under OS Logging, please set its value to "Debug".
    If previous old logs are not essential to you, you may also wanna delete all the log files first, so that we capture logs for the last day only.
    2. On the ASA, please enable the following debugs
    debug aaa authentication
    debug aaa authorization
    debug radius
    3. Then please first recreate a successful authentication attempt, and then recreate the authorization test issue with the same user account for which you tested the successful authentication.
    4. After the issue is recreated, please attach the debugs from the ASA and following files from the ACS Server Logs:
    acsxp_adagent.log
    acsxp_agent_server.log
    acsxp_mcd.log
    acsxp_server.log
    acsxp_server_trace.log

  • Unknown CA failure on ACS express

    Hi forumers
    i try to let user access to the network authenticate using ACS express, then map to the AD server.
    somehow i get the error from the authentication report is FAILURE REASON: UNKNOWN CA
    i try and use self-singed certificate, then download the certificate, open and copy the CSR and paste to my CA server.
    I'm using Window's advance certificate request "submit a certificate request by  using a based 64-encoded CMC or PKCS#10 files..." this option.
    somehow i got this error message. (see attachment)
    Question1: is it the right way to do CSR to window CA server? am i doing it right?
    Question2: if i am wrong, any guide for a proper way doing certificate installation for ACS express in order talk to AD server?
    thanks
    Noel

    Hi,
    Actually you do not need to have a signed certificate on the ACS Express to be able to join the AD...
    However, if you still want to do it, then can you please send me the CSR? I can take a look and see if everything is ok...

  • ACS Express 5.0 - "unique authentication" what does it mean?

    Hi to all,
    the ACS Express 5.0 datasheet states: "Cisco ACS Express supports a maximum of 50 AAA clients and 350 unique user logins in a 24-hour period"
    It's clear what's the meaning of the max 50 AAA clients...in fact what is not clear is regarding the max 350 uniques user authentication.
    If I use 802.1 IBNS with PEAP-MSCHAP to do machine authenticaion each machine authentication will count as a unique logon...isn'it? What happens if there are Laptop assigned to sales which spent a lot of time out of the office???
    Each time these laptops reconnect to the network wil count as an extra logon or and increase the logon counter of one or since this laptop is already authenticated on the morning t won't count as an extra unique logon...
    My question is related to the fact that I have a customer who wanto to introduce IBNS-802.1X but have "only" 20-25 AAA clients and max. 200 users (where about 100 are laptop)...and using ACS 5.0 in a redundant way will be too expensive...
    Thanks for a reply
    Omar

    The ACS Express 5.0 Appliance is designed for a maximum of 350 users. This limit does not apply to the number of logins.

    Appreciate anybody's feedback
    Thanks.
    NetMaint

    Hi,
    This was required by our client to disable SSH v1 after the infosec audit.
    Can this be done? I tried digging but can't find any info. If this can't be done at least provide me some link so I can feedback to our client.

  • ACS Express upgrade for native Linux OS

    I'm running ACS Express 5.0.0.18. A recent security scan flagged the ACS as running outdated versions of Apache and Tomcat, plus other issues. Will the 5.0.1.1 upgrade package perform an update on these components? If so, what will be the updated versions, given that the upgrade package is over one year old? Are there any other alternatives for bringing the OS components up to date? Any advice is appreciated.
    Regards,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    what are the exact vulnerabilities you're referring to?
    I ask this as there are some known issues affecting also the ACS Express version 5.0.1.1, such as the following ones:
    * CSCtg52362:
    http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCtg52362
    * CSCtg52369:
    http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCtg52369
    We don't have precise ETA for the fix yet, but you may monitor the above bugs to get notified about updates.
    In any case, you have to wait for the next patch to be out to get this fixed.
    In the meanwhile I would also recommend to mitigate the impact of those issues by preventing non-admin workstations to have access to the ACS GUI (e.g. with a firewall or ACL); in any case this is good practise as these web pages should not be reachable for non-admin staff (nor external internet users of course).
    In any case, if you need for further assistance on this, please open a TAC case, so we can verify this in more details.
    Thanks!

  • Join AirPort Express to D-Link DGL4300 router in client mode not working

    I only want to be able to stream iTunes to my AirPort Express via my existing network which is controlled by my D-Link DGL-4300 router.
    My AirPort Express works as an iTunes streamer because I tested it running its own network (ignoring the existing D-Link network). I am trying to connect in client mode (I think), but my D-Link router just can't see the AirPort Express which seems to disappear off the radar after it restarts with the new settings.
    This is what happens...
    1. AirPort Express Hard Reset
    2. Connect to Airport Express wireless network (which disconnects me from my D-Link DGL4300 wireless network “K1000578”)
    3. Run AirPort Utility and enter “Assist Me” mode.
    4. Set AirPort Express name and password then click continue.
    5. Select “I have a wireless network and want to add AirPort Express or replace an existing device on my network” then click continue.
    6. Select “I want AirPort Express to join my current network”
    7. Select the name of my D-Link DGL4300 network “K1000578” from the drop down box, select WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security type and enter the DGL4300 password, then click continue.
    8. Click Update in the summary screen.
    What happens then is...
    MESSAGE BOX “Apple wireless device restarting. Please wait...”
    MESSAGE BOX “Connecting to network ‘K1000578’. Please wait...”
    AirPort Utility returns with a message advising that although the device was successfully updated, AirPort utility was unable to find it after restarting. It also suggests that I made need to reselect my network for the AirPort menu and try again.
    My computer is now unable to even see the AirPort express device.
    When I try to reconnect to my existing DGL4300 network “K1000578”, it says that the settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network. !! ***!!
    I can fix the last part above by deleting the connection information for my DGL4300 and searching for it again. BUT HOW ON EARTH DO I CONNECT MY AIRPORT EXPRESS TO MY NETWORK?!!
    I am able to connect my PC directly to the AirPort Express (if I set it up as its own network) and successfully stream iTunes, but this means I have to disconnect from my DGL4300 network also which means I won’t get internet on that machine and I can’t use my iPhone Remote App.
    This is my second experience with Apples “it just works” philosophy. MobileMe was my first. Guess how I’m feeling!
    Any help at all is kindly appreciated.

    I forgot to mention, I have turned off the MAC address filters on my router, so that's not the cause.

  • Error message 651 when I try to join Airport Express via Windows 7 laptop

    Hi
    I have a Macbook Pro - no problems.

    Looks like I fixed it., thanks to another post I read.  I went into my Norton Security.  Under Settings. Chose Firewall. Program rules. changed the itunes setting from "auto" to "allow"  This also fixed my error (-3212) which would not allow me to connect to the iTunes store. 

  • Can't get Netgear wg602 v3 to join Airport Express network in client mode

    Hello,
    I have been happily using my Airport Express as a base station, but now I need to extend the range to a downstairs area, and I would like to do it with point-to-point bridging so that the AE is the base, and the bridge receives the wireless signal and shares it over ethernet to a switch downstairs.
    I have (stupidly) purchased a Netgear wg602 v3 expecting that it would be able to be the client that could pick up and then share the AE's signal over ethernet, but I absolutely cannot get it to join the network and bridge the signal from the AE.
    I have brand new firmware on both APs, and I have set them up so that they both have the same SSIDs and passwords, and the Netgear has the AE's MAC entered in it's point-to-point bridging section, and the AE has the Netgear's MAC in its WDS section.
    Can anyone give me a hand getting this working?
    Thank you very much,
    Halle

    Hi iFelix,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Last night after quite a bit of effort I actually got it to work without security.
    The settings are to create a uniquely-named point-to-point bridging network with the Netgear, referencing the AE's MAC, and tell the AE to use the Netgear's MAC at its uniquely-named network as a remote station via the WDS tab in Airport Admin utility. Auto-configure remote base station will fail, but the AE will be able to join the insecure Netgear box to its network and the Netgear will subsequently relay requests received over its ethernet port directly to the AE.
    My question now is whether there is any way to do this with a modicum of security. I guess there's nothing to do but experiment.
