Password aging with ACS + UCP in a wireless network.

Hello
We want to use ACS in our wireless network, but we would like to allow users to change their own passwords, so we want to use UCP.
Additionally, we want to force them to change their passwords after a period of time or number of logins.
Is it possible to use password aging based on time or number of connections when users connect through UCP web interface?
Also, does using UCP requiere some kind of additional license/payment?
Thanks.

Juilo,
No the UCP sample scripts have to run on a seperate ACS server and you have to enable the ucp intefaces through the cli to accept the UCP requests from the other server.
Here is a link that will help you.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • Multiple Airports with private and isolated guest wireless networks available from both

    Hi,
    I've been searching online for some equipment that can do what i want to do without going into the enterprise grade and spending $5000 on Cisco gear.
    Consider two locations approx 80m apart - Primary is a house, and secondary location is a garage. A Cat6 run exists between the two.
    The goal would be to have a wireless primary router in the house for wired and private wireless internet access, with an additional Guest wireless that is isolated from the private network that I can turn on and off if guests are coming over.
    In addition, the second location should also support both wired and wireless connections.
    It seems simple to me, one device in each location. The WAN port on the garage device would connect back to the house device. The two devices should be smart enough to know that one is extending the other. Someone on the guest wireless that is connected via the garage AP would not be able to see the wired devices even though it's traffic is going across the same wire back to the primary router.
    Can I do this without spending a fortune?
    Thanks

    Two Apple AirPorts would do most....but not all...of what you want.
    A few notes.....
    In order for the guest network feature to work correctly on an AirPort router, the "main" AirPort in the house must connect to a simple modem......not a modem/router or gateway device.  That is a deal killer for some users right there.
    When the guest network is activated in the garage, it must be activated for both AirPorts....house and garage.
    You could actiivate the guest network for the house and leave the guest network off in the garage if you wanted, no problem there.....but.....you could not activate the guest network in the garage without also activating it in the house first.
    "Guests" can only connect to the guest network using wireless. Up to you to decide if you want to leave the guest network open or use a password that would need to be used to connect to the network.
    But.....If "guests" had physical access to the AirPort in the garage....and they connected to one of the Ethernet ports on the AirPort in the garage, they would be connecting to your main or private network.
    So, if something like this was a concern, you would have to either hide the AirPort in the garage and trust that users would not find it....or....find some way to limit access to the back panel of the AirPort so that users could not connect to it using an Ethernet cable.
    If the features and installation limitations are acceptable, you could spend as little as $100 for each AirPort Express.
    If you wanted better performance from the AirPort in the house, you could use an AirPort Extreme there...about $200 and an AirPort Express in the garage.
    The deluxe option would be to use two AirPort Extremes.
    Finally, you would want to make sure that you understood the store's return policy before you buy.....in case something unexpected crops up, as can sometimes be the case.

  • I have problems with my 7510 holding a wireless network ip address 192.168 etc It says 169. etc

    My HP Photosmart all in one (which is only a few months old) stopped comunicating with my Netgear DGN1000 Adsl router a few days before Xmas.
    Instead of the 192.168.0.9 ip address that it used before I powered off the router, iit came back with an address of 169.254.249.128; "Configuration source" = "Auto ip"; a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0; and Default gateway of 0.0.0.0; I know these are wrong, so I tried a fixed ip address of 192.168.0.201, a SM of 255.255.255.0; and a DG of 192.168.0.1; This was OK, but overnight, it all went back to the auto ip settings.
    I eventually managed to contact HP, and the guy spent 75 minutes with me trying to reset things, and eventually he reckoned that the Netgear router was not allowing the printer access via some ports (which he emailed me a list of) and something he said I needed to tell my isp (Virgin media) “FLOOD DETECTION SET TO OFF” & “SP1 FIREWALL SET TO OFF”
    On contacting VM, they were insistant that their router was not at fault - they could open the 12 or so ports, at a cost to me of £60! (I declined this)
    HP had told me how to set up for Ad Hoc printing (by-passing the router) which had worked during our testing.
    VM had been into my settings for the router, via a remote access device, and checked a few settings, but the only one I saw them alter was changing from CH10 to CH11.
    I certainly could not get the printer to accept the 192.168.1.201 after this anyway.
    Following this, I reset the printers Network Defaults, and reconfigured the wireless settings. It did seem OK, and running on 192.168.0.9
    I have now reset the IP address to Manual on the printer, entering the 192.168.0.9 and 255.255.255.0; and 192.168.0.1;
    Touch wood it has held up for a few days, but I havn't switched anything off (but overnight before it went awry!)
    I'm not convinced I have got a fix here, and would welcome any suggestions as to what I can still do.
    Maybe I have already done some, as I have "completely uninstalled, and reinstalled the HP7510 software on my Desktop PC.
    Incidently the printer is set up on 3 PC's in the house - a desktop running W7 HP 64 bit, a Notebook (same OS variant) and a Laptop running W7 HP, but 32 bit.
    All were unable to print when I was having issues.
    I would welcome any suggestions to get a more permanat fix. (I would rather have found a definite fault) I have other routers I could try, or I could open ports, but my question is - If I needed these ports open, and other settings altered (Flood detection etc) why did the printer work for the first few weeks I had it set up, and why did powering off the router cause such issues? (suppose I need to power off the router again in the future - it does happen)
    Thanks
    Dave
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hey Dave,
    Great post with good information.
    As you mentioned, the printer came back with a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx style IP address. This is normally produced when the device is not able to get a complete connection with the router, thus the router gives it a temporary internal IP address.
    The normal suggestion when a printer stops maintaining a connection is to set a Static IP. This is done by using the manual IP feature you mentioned using. This locks the device to those network settings and even when the network is restarted the information is retained. This should be the fix to the issue.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem with Windows 98 logging onto wireless network

    I have a unique issue that I am having some issues trying to fix. I have a
    PC that is running Windows 98SE that connects to the network via a Cisco
    Aironet 350 wireless card. I removed this card from another PC and it was
    working fine a week and a half ago. I place this card in the other PC and
    install the drivers and Novell Client 3.40 and I can't log onto the
    network. The PC can associate to the AP though. I can also put in a regular
    10/100 ethernet card and get on the network. We use 128-bit WEP encryption.
    I have checked my WEP key and it's correct. I have set the client
    properties based on another PC that is connected so that shouldn't be the
    issue. I have 15 other PC's with the same card and client version that are
    getting on the network just fine. Also when we look at our AP through the
    web interface, in a column where it usually lists the authenticated
    machine's IP addresses, it only says Unassigned for this machine. I am at a
    loss of where to go next with this issue. I have been looking around not
    only Novell's site but Cisco's as well and no dice there.I would truly
    appreciate any help anyone could give me.
    Thank You

    Bound applies to Protocols in general. (W9x versions, Not XP)
    Open "Network". (You can right click "Network Neighborhood", select
    Properties or use the control panel)
    Inspect the "Properties" for each adapter listed on the Configuration
    Tab.
    Do Not change anything at this time, and ALWAYS choose CANCEL for
    safety . Once you have it figured, you will make and save changes :)
    There are 3 groups of entries. Clients,Services,Protocols.
    You choose to "Bind" a particular protocol(s) to a adapter(part of the
    Adapters properties).
    Not all protocols need be bound to the SAME adapter (nor is it
    desired). Example: Bind PPOE to dial-up, TCP/IP to the Wireless
    adapter, IPX to the 10-100T WIRED adapter. << Example, do NOT really
    do this.
    802.11 wireless DOES NOT support the IPX protocol. If your printers
    use IPX (only), then you will need a Print Queue on the server for
    that printer and PRINT to that PRINT Q from the wireless (or IP only)
    devices.
    Ah!

    Start with getting a Internet connection to work.
    That will also indicate that TCP/IP is working.
    When you don't use DHCP, you have to do everything (settings)
    yourself, CORRECTLY :^)
    IP (no clash with existing stations)
    Subnet mask, same as every one else on the network.
    Gateway the A/P
    DNS as needed, one should be your ISP's suggested.
    Is the A/P correctly configured for your Non-DHCP network?
    *AND* are you sure you have the proper adapter drivers for W98(se)????

  • Are there known issues with AirPort's "Extend a Wireless Network"?

    I have an AirPort Express (N), with an AirPort Extreme (Single Band, N) extending the network with wireless clients allowed. I've been running this setup for a couple of weeks now, and I've noticed that on occasion, the network can get into this weird split state, where clients connected to the Extreme and those connected to the Express can't see eachother. Sometimes there's just no Bonjour between them, sometimes no connection at all. Now, the clients connected to the express can see eachother and the clients on the Extreme can see eachother.
    The devices are close enough together that I can rule out a signal strength issue.
    I can restore it by restarting the Express and the Extreme, but I've started to associate the problem with my 2007 MacBook Pro connecting to the network, as the problem most commonly arrises when it powers or wakes up.
    Has anyone else had this sort of problem? And is there a known workaround?

    Looking at my router configuration:
    as you can see my DHCP range starts from 100 (192.168.1.x) and so I can't have any 192.168.1.65 in DHCP client list, also you can see from the ping command that the 192.168.1.65 replies.
    So, I'm right assuming that my second AP is configured with a static IP address despite what shown on its panel configuration (it says DHCP!) ?
    Thanks, regards, Roberto.

  • Migration Assistant not working with OS X Lion via Wireless Network?

    Anybody know how to assist me here?
    Basically, I have two iMacs on seperate floors of my home.  They are newer models (both purchased last year) and I have upgraded both of them to Lion and just ran a system update on both of them to ensure they are both running the exact same OS with updates and all.
    When I attempt to use the migration assistant over my network, it just says its attempting to find the other computer but never moves past that step, as if they aren't connecting or even finding each other at all. 
    I'm relatively new to the mac family and am very happy I've finally made the switch last year and am still learning the in's and outs and am simply stuck here and not sure what to do to get this to work.

    Download and run this diagnostic, it should tell us what is going on.
    The IP address looks right for the printer.  The DNS server and gateway (router IP address) are often the same at x.x.x.1

  • Password Aging & Account Lockout in ACS 4.2

    I have a requirement that in ACS the  user accounts should get disabled after 1 day , so in the group setting under the Password Aging Field I configured the same as 1 day , the Grace & Warning Period is 0 days
    I want that all these user accounts would be active for 30 days , and the moment the account is used (i.e the Start Message appears in the Radius Accounting ) then after 1 day  from the usage then as per the Password Aging Rule the account should get expired.
    Now my query is this password aging rule will start from the day I create the account in the ACS or from the day the user logs in.
    I don’t want to use the Account Lockout Tab as I don’t know when the guest account would be used.
    Request someone to help pls clarify my doubt.
    Regards

    Hi Yusuf,
    Password Aging on ACS will just prompt to change the password. it will not disable the account.
    The Account is present on the AD. So the Disabling and lockout features for an account will come from the AD.
    I don't think a change in password for a guest account is what you would want to do.
    Also according to me disabling the account should be a feature only for the AD admin and not open. A lockout can definately happen but that also has to be defined on the AD.
    The link to password Aging on ACS is as follows:

  • How do I include my Airport Express with my base Airport Extreme to extend my in house wireless network??

    How do I set up wireless network extension/expansion adding Airport Express to existing Airport Extreme Network??

    OK, thanks for the clear information, this really helps.
    Locate the AirPort Express about half way between the AirPort Extreme and the general area that needs more wireless signal coverage. The more that you have line-of-sight between the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express, the better the performance will be.
    Power off the AirPort Express for a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button firmly...and keep holding for an additional 10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power cord back into the back of the AirPort Express
    Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    This process is tricky.....you almost have to have 3 hands to do this.
    If you have an iPad or iPhone, the setup is almost too easy to be true. In that case.....
    Tap on Settings (gear icon) on the home screen
    Tap on WiFi
    Under the heading of Setup a New AirPort Base Station....
    Tap on AirPort Express
    The utility will analyze things for a minute, then suggest that the Express be configured to extend the AirPort Extreme network
    Type in  a device name that you want to use, then tap Next
    The utility will set up everything for you automatically. When you see the message of Setup Complete, tap Done and you are good to go.
    If you want to use the Mac running (10.6.8) for the setup.......
    Make sure that the wireless is turned on at the Mac
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Select the AirPort Express and click Manual Setup
    Click the Base Station tab under the row of icons
    Enter a device name for the AirPort Express
    Enter a device password for the AirPort Express
    Verify the device password
    Adjust the Time Zone setting
    No other adjustments are needed here
    Click the Wireless tab below the icons
    Set the Wireless Mode to Extend a Wireless Network
    Click on the Wireless Network Name box and your AirPort Extreme network name should appear as a choice. Click to select that....or manually enter the exact name of the AirPort Extreme wireless network
    Make sure that Wireless Security is set to use WPA2 Personal
    Enter the wireless network password for the AirPort Extreme
    Verify the wireless network password for the AirPort Extreme
    Click Update at the lower right of the window and wait a full minute for the Express to restart. A green light on the Express at this point will be a very good sign that things are up and running correctly.
    Your Mac will automatically select the AirPort with the best signal quality. If you have an iPhone or iPad, you may need to manually turn off the WiFi when you move the device near another AirPort, and then turn WiFi back on to get the iOS device to connect to the best signal.
    Good luck, please post on your results with the method that you choose.

  • Can't find a wireless network with my HP Pavilion

  • Why can't my MacBook find my external hard drive through wireless network

    I have a 1 TB Western Digital My Book Essential external hard drive connected to my AirPort Extreme. I've been using it with my MacBook via my wireless network (mainly for music and movies) now for about 2 years without any trouble. Recently my MacBook has been unable to find the HD, it gives me the following message "The operation can't be completed because the original item for "My Book 1TB HD" can't be found". If I reboot my entire system (fios router, AirPort Extreme, MacBook, and external HD) I can access it for a short period of time but then the same problem arises. What can I do to resolve this issue and/or figure out where the actual problem is?
    Thanks in advance!

    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme has always been borderline as far as being able to provide sufficient power for a hard drive. It is not a high power port like  you would find on a computer.
    If you have not been using a powered USB hub with the AirPort Extreme....it is possible that the power supply on the Extreme has aged a bit, and it no longer puts out quite as much power as before.
    Try a powered USB hub, but check the store's return policy before you buy in case this is not the solution.
    Atter the powered USB hub, I have no suggestions other than the obvious..... check/replace the USB cable from the hard drive to the USB port on the AirPort.
    Also check using an Ethernet connection from your Mac to the AirPort Extreme...to eliminate the possibility of a wireless interference issue being the culprit.

  • Phantom wireless network!

    Hi. I'm not really sure what piece of hardware or software is causing this problem, so this may not be the right place to ask, but here's the deal:
    I have a wireless network consisting of a Linksys WRT54G (The one pretty much everyone has), a PowerBook, a Dell laptop and a wired iMac G4. A month or so ago, the wirelessly connected computers lost their ability to connect to the internet. I ended up reseting the router and starting a new network with a new name. After I reset the router, however, I noticed something puzzling. The old network was still showing up!
    Even with the router unplugged, the old network shows up in the list of wireless networks on both the Macs and the PC. This persists even after restarting the computers or turning wireless off and on. I'm able to connect to it, and it shows full signal, but will not connect to the internet. It appears side by side with the 'real' network, which works fine.
    I can only think of two explanations for this, either I somehow accidentally set up a computer-to-computer network on one of the computers, under the same name as the old network (which I find quite unlikely), or that a third party is spoofing my old network.
    The phantom network isn't causing too much of a problem, although my PowerBook keeps connecting to it by default instead of the working one, but it does have me pretty confused, so I was wondering if anyone had a clue as to what was going on.
    Thanks,
    Zweben

  • Airport wireless network

    Is there a step by step guide for setting up a wireless network using airport extreme with 5 airport expresses?
    The guide that comes with the equipment doesn't seem to match the on screen experience.
    I have experienced pretty much every problem described elsewhere on the forum but cannot seem to get the Expresses to link to the network properly.
    I am trying to use the Expresses as repeaters and connection points for powered speakers so that I can stream music throughout my house and patio.

    Is there a step by step guide for setting up a wireless network using airport extreme with 5 airport expresses?
    Specifically? No.
    The following is a step-by-step to configure 802.11n AirPorts for an extended network:
    Dynamic WDS - Extending a Wireless Network Setup
    If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
    Open AirPort Utility, and then, select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
    Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.

  • Setup for extending Sky wireless network using Airport Express or Time Cap

    Hi,
    Hi,
    I have three Mac computers/laptops (iMac, MacBook Air and G4 PowerBook), all currently functioning via airport on a sky wireless network (Sky HD Sagem router) all backing up wirelessly to a Time Capsule 1TB which is also connected to the same wireless Sky network. At the top of my house signal strength is weak as you would expect. I would like to be able to extend the range of the sky routers signal which is on the ground floor (3 storey house). My original idea had been to setup a AirPort Express on the 2nd floor to extend the network, but I am unsure what steps I have to follow and whether I need to create a WDS network or not? I've seen some comments that say Sky & Apple hardware are not compatible and it's not possible to extend a Sky router/wireless network using a Apple Airport Express or Time Capsule. Can someone provide me with a step by step set of instructions on what I need to do to set this up? If a work around is required, again any advice would be very much appreciated!
    Many thanks,
    Eugene

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Sky and Apple products are not compatible for the purpose of extending your network using wireless only.
    If you could connect an ethernet cable from your Sky router to the AirPort Express, or if it's not possible to run an ethernet cable...take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task by using the AC wiring in your home to transmit the ethernet signal.
    If you configure the AirPort Express to "create a wireless network", this would in effect, extend your network by adding an AirPort Express that would be configured with the exactly the same wireless network name, security settings and password as your Sky router. The AirPort Express would also need to be configured as a "bridge".
    Post back if you need more details about something like this.
