Upgrade the ACS agent OS

Good morning all,
Awhile ago, we started using ACS with an LDAP external database thus elimating the need for an ACS agent.  However, we have created some custom scripts that incorporate some logging from the ACS agent. So although we started sendign log files to a Advent Syslog server, we need to send them to a windows file that will put them in the old .csv format.
Here is my questions:
Can I upgrade the OS on Cisco Remote Agent from a Windows 2000 to Windows XP or Windows 2003 server?  And how do I configure it to strictly dump log files to it?
Thank you
Dwane

Hi Dwane,
We cannot install Remote agent on XP so we need to use win2003 OS. Here is the link that explains about setting up remote logging.

Let me know if you have any question.
Regards,

  • How to upgrade the patches in ACS 5.1

    I want to upgrade the acs 5.1 in distributed system. We have one hub/ primary ACS and two other spoke / secodary acs. I have following querry.
    Will it be possible to upgrad only one Secondary server.>
    Will updated secondary ACS will able to sych it configuration with primary acs running on older version?
    Will updated secondary acs will retain the current configuration and authenticate the client.?

    Current version of ACS system is 5.1.0.44
    Primary ACS is also working as log collector.
    I have downloaded the patch 5.1.0.44.6.rar.rar, so i belive i should rename it to 5.1.0.44.6.tar.gpg.
    so if i want to upgrade my ACS system:
    I will have to do following steps:
    de-register secondary ACS from primary and take the backup of secondary ACS
    update the patch using repository.
    finally i will have to upgrade the primary ACS.
    I would like to know what is the difference between installing / updating  patch and  Upgrade the ADE-OS version which is shown as second step in cisco.com site.

  • Upgrading the 10.2.0.4 agent to 10.2.0.5  64-bit on windows platform

    Hi,
    I am unable to find the software with which I can upgrade the existing agent (10.2.0.4) to 10.2.0.5 on windows 64-bit platform. I could only find the software on OTN with which only fresh instllation is possible on 64-bit windows.
    Is there a ways to find the sfotware and download.

    You can find the installation files here:http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oem/htdocs/agentsoft.html
    When you run the installer, you can point to 10.2.0.4 oracle management home and it will upgrade it to 10.2.0.5. If you have downloaded the full package for 10.2.0.5 GC, you can just run the installer and point to management agent home as well.

  • ACS Authentication in another (trusted) domain bij ACS Agent

    Hi
    I have got two domains. Domain A is top level domain. Domain B is Child domain from Domain A.
    The ACS Agents are installed on two DC's in Domain A.
    Authentication of clients in Domain A is ok.
    Authentication of clients in Domain B is a problem.
    I created a Universal Group in Domain A. In this Universal Group, I put a Global User Group from Domain B. Authentication not ok.
    The ACS "Failed Authentication Log": sais: "External DB account Restriction".
    What is the problem here ?
    Gr.
    Remco

    Windows Group Mapping Limitations
    ACS has the following limits on group mapping for users who are authenticated by a Windows user database:
    •ACS can only support group mapping for users who belong to 500 or fewer Windows groups.
    •ACS can only perform group mapping by using the local and global groups to which a user belongs in the domain that authenticated the user. You cannot use group membership in domains that the authenticated domain trusts that is for ACS group mapping. This restriction is not removed by adding a remote group to a group that is local to the domain providing the authentication.
    What does the second bullet actually mean ?
    Is it not allowed to make a domain local group in Domain A (in which the Remote Agents are) that contains users (not groups) from Domain B ?
    Do you have to connect to Domain B in ACS (seen due to Trust relationship) and create a group mapping directly in Domain B ?

    Hi,
    Before testing, please ensure that the AD is binded to the ACS. Also ensure that the RA is defined and configured on the ACS.
    The link below gives description of AD integration with ACS:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_server_for_windows/4.2/user/guide/UsrDb.html#wp353636
    The following link gives description of the RA configuration:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_server_for_windows/4.2/user/guide/NetCfg.html#wpxref7424
    I would request you to go through the COnfiguration guide for defiing NAS on the ACS:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_server_for_windows/4.2/user/guide/NetCfg.html
    Testing can be done from the NAS by the test command:
    Router: test aaa group username password
    ASA: test aaa authen host username password
    Hope this helps.

  • Upgrading the CSA on hosts

    IS there a clean upgrade of the client from 4.0.3 to 4.5? Does the v 4.0.3 client need to be uninstalled before 4.5 is installed?
    Same question for 4.5 to 5.0? How evasive are these client upgrades?
    Thanks,
    CB

    Please refer to the Migration section in the ?Installing Management Center for Cisco Security Agents? document found here:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps5057/products_installation_guide_chapter09186a00805aebef.html#wp1000164
    Copied from the guide:
    ??If you're installing CSA MC V5.0 on the same machine running V4.5 or V4.0.x, an xml file containing V4.5 or V4.0.x configuration items and several .dat files containing host information are automatically generated by the installation and ready for importing once the install is complete.
    ?If you're installing CSA MC V5.0 on a different machine from the system running MC V4.5 or V4.0.x, after installing V5.0, you must copy and manually run an executable file on the V4.5 or V4.0.x machine to create the xml and dat files needed for importing V4.5 or V4.0.x configuration and host information to V5.0. ?
    As far as upgrading the CSA agents on the systems, uninstallation is NOT necessary. Installing V5.0 on top of V4.X should be smooth as Tom said.
    You can either download and run the agent kit on the target system, Schedule a Software update from the V4.0.x or V4.5 MC server (after running prepare_40_migration.exe on that server), or use SMS or other technologies to install the new V5.0 agent package.
    Hope that helps :)

  • Upgrading Management Agents after upgrading the Grid Control to 10.2..0.5

    Hello:
    I am pretty new to implementing Grid control. I have been assigned the task of upgrading the Grid control to 10.2.0.5. I successfully upgraded the GC to 10.2.0.5. Now the next task is to upgrade the Agents running on other Database nodes. I have 6 databases running on Solaris 9.0 , few of them running on RHEL 5.0 x86, a few of them on RHEL 5.0 86*64. I am looking to upgrade these agents in one shot. Is there any way I can accomplish this from Grid control. If it is the case, then do I have to download and upload the patchsets for 10.2.0.5 for various platforms into the Grid Control.
    I would be very happy if you could give me valid pointers which would help me to understand and move further.
    Regards,
    Bala

    Yes you can upgrade the agent at one shot.Refer the following OBE

  • Upgrading the zenworks management agent

    Hi,
    We want to upgrade the zenworks management agent to version 4 ir6. What

    >Is it possible to upgrade or do we have to uninstall and then reinstall
    >the newer version?
    Normally you can just upgrade on top and it doesn't cause problems.
    Since the install is a MSI, the rights will be elevated automatically.
    The only time I wouldn't upgrade over-top is if you are running the
    original setup.exe agent. If you are running 4.0.1.4 then you are fine.

    Hi,
    As I said earlier, Please use "Agent Upgrade Console" inorder to upgrade.
    Setup --> Manager Cloud Control --> Upgrade Agents
    Upgrade your 12c Management Agents, you can either use the Upgrade Agents page of Agent Upgrade Console (which is part of the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control console), or use EM CLI. The Upgrade Agents page acts as a single-window solution to mass-upgrade your existing Management Agents to the latest version for which the software is available in Oracle Software Library (Software Library.
    Please follow the below link for more reference.

  • How can the ZESM agent be upgraded?

    On a workstation, there is a ZESM client (v3.5.0.144) running. This ZESM client
    - was managed by a crashed ZESM server (v3.5.0.144)
    - has a (forgotten) uninstall password set
    Now I have installed and configured a new ZESM server (v3.5.0.160) and I want it to manage that workstation. How can I achieve this?
    Possibility #1
    - first I uninstall the old client then install the new one (v3.5.0.160)
    - the fatal problem: I can't uninstall the old client since I can't provide a valid uninstall password
    Possibility #2
    - I upgrade the old client by installing the new client (via SETUP.EXE) on top of the old one
    - the fatal problem: this is not supported by SETUP.EXE (it tells me that I must uninstall the old client first)
    Possibility #3
    - I create an MSI installation package with the upgrade option enabled
    - I have used the following command: setup /a /V"STUPGRADE=1" [based on chapter 9.2 of the Installation Guide (install.pdf)]
    - the fatal problem: the MSI installation package is not willing to perform the upgrade either: it behaves in the same way as SETUP.EXE (by telling me me that I must uninstall the old client first)
    So my question concerning possibility #3:
    - how can I generate an MSI package that is willing to upgrade the old client?

  • "The Page Cannot Be Displayed" error when clicking the Remote Agent

    Hi everyone! We have installed ACS SE 4.0 and we have added a remote agent running on Windows Server 2003. Recently, we are encountering "The page cannot be displayed" error when we click the RA under a network device group. This is resolved by rebooting the ACS SE appliance and accessing the ACS SE web console again but after few hours, problem reoccurs. Clicking the links on the ACS SE web console is okay at first but after clicking the RA, every link shows the error "The page cannot be displayed." Hope you could help us on this problem. Anyone's support is very much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi JG,
    Thank you so much for your response. Does Cisco have a documentation that states that this is a known issue with 4.0, such as release notes, for we might need this for the proposal upgrade?
    Again, thanks a lot!

  • For those having EAP auth issue using the ACS appliance

    Thought I'd pass along my config and resolution to an issue I was having concerning EAP-TLS auth on an ACS appliance.
    We have two ACS Solution Engines (3.2.2) running and doing a database synch and using Generic LDAP as the external database. We did the certificate walk through for the ACS and then turned on EAP-TLS auth. We are trying to use EAP-TLS auth for wireless access through our AP1200s and Windows XP laptops, but we kept getting errors.
    After digging for days I found out that when you request a certificate it pulls the CN name. Our CN name in Active Directory did not match our login name. I changed my CN name to match my login name and I was then able to grab a certificate and authenticate using EAP-TLS for our wireless.
    I am in the process of upgrading our ACSes to ver 3.3.2 so that I can run the Remote Agent for Windows on a Windos 2003 server and then use the Windows database as the external database and not Generic LDAP.
    I hope this helps someone!
