WCS OS Requirements

I understand that WCS requires Windows 2003 SP1 or greater....but wanted to see if anyone knows of any problems or compatibility issues if it is run on Windows 2003 R2.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks.

No problems as long as it is a clean install. No IIS running at all. This causes port problems.

CS-MARS and WCS logs

Currently I'm implementing a CS-MARS solution where the first task is to get it successfully monitoring our logging from WCS. Unfortuantely MARS doesn't support WCS and requires a custom parser to be built so that it understands the logs.
I was wondering if anyone had done this yet. I'm having some trouble getting information on all of the logs from WCS to create an proper parser for it in MARS.

The problems arise from Cisco not actually making all these products but rather purchasing companies. So these aren't really Cisco's products!!! They are products other company made and Cisco just bought their companies. So, they are frequently left with making different products from different acquisitions work together.
In this case Mars came from the Protego acquisition, while WCS came from the Airespace acquisition.
In all they do a very good job of this process, and in the past their have been many cases where Cisco has taken a few quarters after the acquisitions to get it all working smoothly.
such as in
Catalyst Switches -> cisco IP Phones
Cisco Pix FW -> VPN Concentrator Tunnels
VPN Concentrator -> Tacacs Server
In the mean time just explain what I said to your boss, and he'll understand.

Is WCS a must with 4400 LAN controller

Hi,
We're looking at the 4400 series wireless LAN controller with Lite APs. It's not clear if the WCS is required or if the 4400 has management capabilities in it and the WCS may not be required. So, can we run a 4400 series without a WCS and still maintain management of our wireless network. If so, what capabilities would we be missing...if any?
...thanks in advance.....J

Hi Jamie,
The WCS is not required to run any WLC or WiSM. It is a very nice management tool but it is not a must. We have been running LWAPP for a few years now without the WCS and we are just now getting ready to deploy it;

WCS-requirements-utilization

Hi,my customer want to install WCS-base (to manage 2 controller 4402-50 and 50 AP) using a intel server with strong performance (bi-processor 3,6 GHz, 4 GB Ram) but unfortunatly
they want to use the same server for the applications listed below.
I've seen in syst. requirements that a dedicated server is supported (I've suggested a dedicated vmware image....) abd I can chang http-https mgmt port but wich type of problems could I have with this server using all these applications + WCS ?
Maybe Cisco-TAC don't accept tickets for this configuration because is "fully" unsupported ?
The wifi infrastructure will remain the same, no enlargement are planned.
Application List:
â¢Windows 2003 Std Edition R2 con SP2
â¢Domain Controller
â¢Vmware Virtual Center Server 2.0.1 (in future 2.5 Update 1 or update 2)
â¢VMware Virtual Infrastructure Client 2.0.1 (in future 2.5 Update 1 or Upd 2)
â¢VMware Converter 3.0.1
â¢VMware Apache Tomcat Web Services (port 80 e 443) ver 5.5.17
â¢Power Chute Network shutdown di APC v 2.2.1
â¢Legato Networker 7.2 (client)
â¢Java Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6
â¢MSSQL Express 2005
â¢Symantec PCAnywhere 10.5
â¢Winzip 8
â¢Winscp 3.8.2
â¢Acrobat Reader 7
â¢HP mgmt tool ver 7.70
(port 2301 e https 2381) - SSD agent

ok,thank for your help.
I'm going to require additional RAM (+4 GB)
and I will suggest a quad processor instead of a bi-processor. I will also explain to customer that probably this configuration is not supported by cisco, even if it works, and they could not open a ticket/TAC request.

WCS(PART NO:AIR-WCS-WB-1.0-K9) MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Hello,
Am a newbie to the wireless control system. My question is what is the minimum system requirements for installing a wcs with part number AIR-WCS-WB-1.0-K9 . There are two controllers in my set up which has a license for 50 access points ( 4402 controller). I have a windows server machine with 15GB of HDD, 2GB RAM and 2GHZ processor. Does this server meet the requirements for installing the above wcs. Please reply as soon as possible. Am afraid am in trouble!

Update SNMP to v3 on WLCs. Update also required on WCS?

Hi all,
I need to update the SNMP version on our WLCs to v3, using MD5 and aes128. This looks easy enough to do:
Management > SNMP > SNMP v3 users > new
From here i can add a new user (ie SNMPV3) and set MD5 and aes128 passwords. I will update our monitoring software to match the SNMP version and credentils, and our monitoring of the WLCs will then run under SNMP v3.
However, we also use a WCS to manage the WLCs (we use templates for wireless key changes etc)
I suspect i will need to update the SNMP details on here too, PER WLC ?
Configure > Controllers > (IP of specific WLC) > Properties > SNMP Properties
Within here i believe i need to add the MATCHING SNMPv3 credentials that i added to the WLC in queston, presumably so the WCS can still talk to the WLC..? Is this correct, or is there more than this that is required?
I also assume that any SNMP update on the WLCs and WCS will NOT impact the APs, because they chat to the WLCs via LWAPP and *not* SNMP...?
Thoughts appreciated,
Thanks in advance!

You are quite correct. You will need to update the v3 user on the WCS per WLC. And yes, it will not affect the AP.
Cheers,
Steve

What are the bandwidth requirements between a WCS and a WLC?

We have a customer who has two locations Site A (approx. 30 APs) and Site B (approx. 50 APs). Each site has a WLC. The customer wants to deploy a WCS at Site A that will monitor both WLCs.
What I have been unable to find is how much traffic is going to be generated between the WCS at Site A and the WLC at Site B?
Primarily, I would like to understand how this configuration will impact their point to point WAN link.
Also, are there any known requirements in terms of max. allowable latency between the WCS and WLC?
Any anectdotal evidence would also be appreciated - such as any experiences running this over a T1.
In this particular case, the customer has a 100Mbps wireless point-to-point link as their WAN link, but I do not know the actual throughput capacity and/or if it is half or full duplex.
Thanks,
John

John,
This is very interesting question and I will try to answer with what I know after supporting WCS for a while.
WLC and the WCS communicate over SNMP only. The generated traffic is SNMP (UDP). It's not a lot in terms of bandwidth, should I say quite minimal. Running over a T1 (not congested!) should be completly fine.
There are a few things we can control about snmp as you are over a WAN link: we can increase the SNMP timeout, we can increase the SNMP retries and also, we can reduce the max varbinds per PDU, so the snmp packets sent are smaller and dont get fragmented over your WAN ISP.
As SNMP is UDP, the only things you can control is the timeout and the number of retries because UDP doesnt have the control that TCP offers.
The most intense traffic will be when you first add your controllers in WCS.
I have seen quite a few deployments with WCS over WAN link and tweaking those settings I mentioned made it possible.
You can find those settings in WCS -> Administration -> Settings -> SNMP

Mobility Service Enginer & WCS required or not?

Hi,
I have Cisco Wireless Lan Controller 5508 with 35 (3600 Series Access Points. Do i need to purchase Mobility Service Engine for this or no need? Do i need WCS server for this or no need?
Thanks,

The WCS/NCS/Prime and MSE are optional devices that you don't need to get your wireless up and running. So no, you don't need to purchase those devices unless you want the features those devices will provide you. These features are listed in the data sheet.

Error when adding a WLC to WCS

When adding a WLC to WCS I get this error: Failed to add device to WCS Reason:
COMMON-1: Some unexpected internal error has occured. If the problem persists please report to the Tech Support.
WCS 7.0.164.0 was upgraded from 5.2.110.0 because the WLC were running 7.0.98.0
WLC4404-100 7.0.98.0 (Already in WCS)
WLC4402-12 7.0.98.0 (Changed the ip address of the management and ap manager. Was in WCS but deleted from WCS prior to the ip address change and prior to the WCS being upgraded)
I know that the snmp strings are fine and that the WLC's both respond to snmp get commands.
The intial WCS upgrade from 5.2.110.0 to 7.0.164.0 didn't require the previous version to be uninstalled. After the upgrade and restoring the WCS from backup. I was getting the error posted above. We uninstalled WCS and re-installed WCS from scratch and still we are getting the same error. We tried restarting the WCS services and also the VM box as well and not luck. I was wondering if the WCS has the old ip and mac address of the WLC4402-12 in the database and that is why i'm getting this error.
I did delete and try different snmp community strings with no luck with WCS. Again, snmp is working since I can do snmp get from the WLC's.

Scott,
This is the issue:
com.cisco.common.persistence.transaction.TransactionException: Null value was assigned to a property of primitive type setter of com.cisco.server.managedobjects.aaa.GuestUserTemplateCG.userStatus
Could be an existing bug or a new one. I cant say unless I look into your setup.

Anyone running WCS 6 on CentOS 5?

I ran into an issue when trying to install and run WCS 6.0.132.0 on a clean install of CentOS 5 (2.6.18-194.3.1.el5.centos.plus)
After successfully installing WCS using the option "-DCHECK_OS=false" I tried to start the WCS service with the startupscript as root, but got the following error:

PS: I do realize this is not a Cisco supported OS, but I would like to try it before falling back to RHEL

Editing /etc/redhat-release should allow WCS to start. I run ours on CentOS 5 and I had to make this change.
Just comment out the CentOS line and add the Red Hat line below. You will probably need to be root to do this and
it may require a restart. Also after running updates for CentOS I have notice that the file usually changes back
and WCS does not start again. I keep a copy of the file on the server desktop and copy it over after the updates.
I have not notice any issue with running it on CentOS, just thought I would throw that out there.
Cheers!

Issue while installing WCS using omii.ini: Database ping failed

Hi,
I am trying to install WCS on local linux VM. I am following the document 'Oracle WebCenter Sites: Installing on Oracle WebLogic Application Server".
Following are the things I have been able to do successfully:
Install Oracle DB, create a database and then create a user for this database
Install WebLogic server, create domain, create admin server, managed server, and finally create a datasource. THe datasource connection to the DB created in step 1 above is successfull.
I downloaded the WCS installer from Oracle Website 'WebCenterSites_11.1.1.6_bp1'. I am installing using silent installer using omii.ini file.
During installation, on receiving the prompt to install CS and CAS applications, I installed them successfully via WebLogic console.
I tested the URL 'http://localhost:7001/cs/HelloCS' and it showed me the Oracle WCS 11g page.
Now, when I go back to the wcs installation terminal and hit Enter, it gives following error:

Thanks for your reply Yct.
I got the ping issue resolved today, there was an issue in the data source. Finally I was able to complete the installation successfully.
But there is one more issue now. After completing the installation, I am trying to access the URL to get to the WCS login page, but with no success.
Below, I am mentioning few URLs that I tried, and the outcome:
http://localhost:7001/cs/HelloCS , This URL gives me a page with some static content messages like 'Welcome to Oracle WebCenter Sites 11gR1'. Then there are some text lines in blue color. I think this page is working as expected.
http://localhost:7001/cs/login , this URL automatically gets redirected to the URL 'http://localhost:7003/cas/login?service=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A7001%2Fcs%2Fwem%2Ffatwire%2Fwem%2FWelcome' and I get an error message 'Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:7003.'
http://localhost:7001/cas/login, this takes me to login page, where when I enter fwadmin@xceladmin credentials, I am taken to JASIG Central Authentication Service page, which is again static, and I can't do anything on this page
http://localhost:7001/cs/Satellite?c=Page&cid=1327351719456&pagename=avisports%2FPage%2FHomeLayout1 , this takes me to the Avisports site, which is functional
http://localhost:7001/cs/Satellite?c=Page&childpagename=FirstSiteII%2FFSIILayout&cid=1124747609916&pagename=FSIIWrapper, this takes me to he FirstSit page, which is again functional
Issue: I am not getting the main login page, where I would get 3 sites(Avisports/FirstsiteII) in the dropdown.
Looks like there is something wrong going on.

Does WCS run on Windows 2008 R2 server?

Can anybody share his/her experience with running WCS on Windows 2008 R2 server?
Is it possible and did you experience any problems with it? (during installation or during normal usage)
Is it supported by Cisco already?
Our distributor is a little bit vague about that, that's is why I am asking it here.

From WCS 7 release notes :
Operating Systems Requirements
The following operating systems are supported:
•Windows 2003/SP2 and Windows 2003 R2/SP2 32-bit installations with all critical and security Windows updates installed.
Windows 2003/SP2 64-bit installations are not supported. A 32-bit operating system running on a 64-bit capable hardware is supported.
Windows 2003 32-bit installations provide support for up to 64 GB of RAM if Physical Address Extension (PAE) is enabled. See the Windows documentation for instructions on enabling this mode.
•Red Hat Linux Enterprise Server 5.X 32-bit operating system installations.
Red Hat Linux Enterprise Server 5.X 64-bit operating system installations are not supported. A 32-bit operating system running on a 64-bit capable hardware is supported.
•Windows 2003 and Red Hat Linux version support on VMware ESX version 3.0.1 and above with either local storage or SAN over fiber channel.
Individual operating systems running WCS in VMware must follow the specifications for the size of WCS that you intend to use.
No Windows 2008 ! I know lots of people have been crying for it and it should be coming in next releases but no promises as of now :-(

WCS Radius Authentication issue with 2008 R2 NPS

OK, so I have my MPS working. I am authenticating all sorts of Cisco devices and I can even authenticate the admin login from the WCS server. UNLESS I add more than 27 of the custom settings in the Cisco-AV-Pair that the WCS uses to define the logged in user rights. Anything after the 27th setting the login times out and the WCS denies access. I go back to 27 and it logs in fine. There are 73 settings for the default admin user.
Anyone have any ideas why this is happening or better yet, how to get around it?
I have been searching through the MS technet to see if there is a limitation built in to the NPS, but I have yet to find anything.
Thanks,
Rod

I have not gotten any other feedback and I have not been ablet to identify anything on technet about it. It will happen with any role that requires more than 27 of the Cisco-AV-Pair settings. It is working fine for stuff like the Lobby administrator logins, that require less than 5 access rules to be passed from the NPS, but that just goes to show that it is working as long as I do ot hit the 27 "line-item" limit.

Error authentication user in WCS about Human Tasks

Hi All,
We developed a BPM workflow and 4 human task(HT) in ADF and using WCS for accessing the tasks of the human workflow.
We are working using the virtual machine soabpm-vm 11.1.1.6 ps5, downloaded by the Oracle Web Site.
I created a space in WCS, based on the BPM-Workspace templace present in the WCS.
I was able to execute the process and the HT without any problem.
I am adding security to all the 4 HT following the indication about ADF security, using the ADF wizard in jdeveloper.(see Oracle WebCenter 11g Handbook chapter 18, page 421)
After implementing the following choices:
1)ADF Authentication and Authorization
2)HTTP Client Authentication
3)No Automatict Grants
4)Either for WebPAge, Either for taskflow i have enabled the view privileges for viewing the page or executing the task flow.
5) I linked the valid-users with a groups in my realm(AdmiServer)
I tested all the security implemented with BPM worspace application (https://hostname:7002/bpm/workspace) and it is working correctly.
If i test it within webCenterSpace the HT are not working. When i click on the HT i got the following error:
Error 401 Unauthorized
The request requires user authentication. The response MUST include a WWW-Authenticate header field (section 14.46) containing a challenge applicable to the requested resource. The client MAY repeat the request with a suitable Authorization header field (section 14.8). If the request already included Authorization credentials, then the 401 response indicates that authorization has been refused for those credentials. If the 401 response contains the same challenge as the prior response, and the user agent has already attempted authentication at least once, then the user SHOULD be presented the entity that was given in the response, since that entity MAY include relevant diagnostic information. HTTP access authentication is explained in section 11.
This is what is happening:
I logged in into WebCenterSpace with the user credentials (Username pwd). I am correctly authorized and identified.
I later click on the HT and the user is not propagate as the logs say that anonymous user try to access to the HT.
Why there is this different behavior between WCS and BPM worspace application?
Can i have same indication about what to do in order to get the HT working in the WCS?

Hi Praveen,
To fix this issue, you need to change the Identity of your website's Application Pool to use the
NetworkService account (or the less secure LocalSystem account). By default, IIS7 seems to set the Application Pools Identity to 'ApplicationPoolIdentity' instead of NetworkService or LocalSystem.
Here's a step-by-step guide for determining your websites Application Pool, then changing its Process Model Idenitty in IIS7:
1.Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manger.
2.In the Connections sidebar, drill down into Default Web Site and click on your website.
3.Now in the Actions sidebar (on right side), click on Advance Settings... In the popup box, under General you will see your Application Pool listed for your website (in my case the app pool is: ASP.NET V4.0).
4.Click Cancel... If you choose, you can change the Application Pool here, but for the sake of this example we just wanted to find out what the website's App Pool was.
Then change the app pool's (Process Model) Identity to 'NetworkService', the steps are showed as below:
1.Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manger.
2.In the Connections sidebar, click on Application Pools.
3.Now right-click on theApplication Pool that your website is using (in this case my site is using the ASP.NET v4.0 application pool), and select Advanced Settings... from the menu.
4.In the Advanced Settings pop-up box, locate the Process Model -> Identity section and click on the Application Pool Identity.
5.In the Application Pool Identity pop-up box, change the Built-in account to NetworkService (or if you want LocalSystem), then click OK, and click OK again to save your Advanced Settings changes.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Peja

License problem with WCS and WLC

Hi All,
I have planned to implement three WLCs and one WCS to manage them.
AP count is as below :-
     WLC #1     -     10 AP
     WLC #2     -     10 AP
     WLC #3     -     20 AP
When WLC #1 is down that connected 10 APs should failover to the WLC #3.
So at normal scenarion, WLC #3 should need 30 AP license; to failover WLC#1 APs properly to the WLC #3
My problem is, Can I load total AP license (40 license) to WCS without installing them to individual WLCs ?
If it is possible i can cut off the additional 10 AP license, required to the HA and failover.
or if I use a WCS may i need to buy additional 40 license to WCS seperately from 40 WLC license ?
Thanks,
Charith

Yes, you required to have seperate licences for WLC & WCS.
You cannot add WLC licence to WCS & vice versa.
