WLC configuration Backup with WCS

Hi,
What kind of backup is done with the configuration Backup Task in the WCS Administration.
Is this a backup of the actual running config on the WLC or is it the saved (startup) config on the controller?
Is there a way to view/edit a configuration backup from the controller?
Can I create a task on the WCS to do a cyclic/automatic save configuration to flash?
Regards Christian

the configuration backup is for the controllers
and the files live wherever you specified the tftp server location on install of WCS.
The WLC backup is the running config from when the backup was completed.
go to your tftproot directory to view the config
If you are running a rev that outputs in xml format AND you are not encrypting it on the WLC.
I would not try editing the file. The hash will be altered and the config backup file will be useless.
You want WCS to be able to run the command 'save config' on each controller? How handy are you with tcl scripting?

User privilege level for configuration backup with PI 1.2

We have more than 50 devices handling by PI 1.2 (testing) I like to know how to do configuration archiving with user who doesn't have write privilege.
I tried like this.
username john privilege 6 password cisco
privilege exec level 6 show running-config
(result) show run --> blank
I tried this user with one of switch in PI 1.2. It did not do configuration backup
username inout password inout
username inout privilege 15 autocommand show running-config
(result) once logged in, it automatically showed running-config. However when I tried with PI 1.2 with this user (inout). I couldn't do configuration back.

so, my question is this. what is the solution for me to create certain user with read-only privilege while PI 1.2 is able to do configuration archiving ?
thanks in advance

7.4 MSE code will in fact require an update of Prime 1.2 to 1.3.0.20-
It's pretty easy though and your licenses will still work from the Prime Infra side.
Here's a link to upgrade PI to 1.3

I personally would go ahead with the upgrade of both:::

Difference between "Configuration Backup" and "WCS Server Backup" on WCS

Hello,
it would be fine if somebody could tell me in one short sentence the difference between the two above mentioned scheduled tasks on WCS.
Many thanks in advance,
Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,
WCS Server Backup - backing up the WCS database
Configuration Backup - backing up configurations from the controllers
Hope this helps!

WLC/WiSM Configuration Synchronisation with WCS

Hi Members, can you help me find a way for Configuring only One Controller completely and then synchronising the Other(s) with "One Click", not using the granular Configuration Templates? Regards, Michael

An easier way would be to upload the binary configuration file from controller 1 to WCS and then push it from WCS to controller 2. At that point, all you need to change (via console) is the IP address.

WLC 5.2.193.0 with WCS 6.0.132.0 a supported config?

I know of a large site (not one of mine) that is running WLC 5.2.193.0 code paired up with WCS 6.0.132.0. The release notes for each product make no mention of support for this configuration.
Is this is supported configuration?

Thanks to both of you who replied. I just need to ensure that Cisco will support this scenario. The larger site is actually a "parent" site, and we try to keep our configs in parallel, but I'm not going to put the smaller site into an unsupported configuration.
I found this document, updated September 1st, which still doesn't list WLC 5.2.193.0 and WCS 6.0.132.0 as a supported config:

Cisco NCS configuration backup and restore of WLC issues found

Hi,
I recently tested the process for a customer of defaulting a Cisco WLC to factory configuration and then restoring the configuration from Cisco NCS. It was not seamless to say the least and I wonder if I have just gone about it the wrong way.
Have have set the NCS platform to configuration sync with the 5508 controllers at 04:00 every day and prior to the controller defaulting I ensured that NCS also reported that the config was in sync.
I have also set NCS to complete a tftp backup of the controller every night 23:00 - interestingly though I have no idea where this is stored on the NCS platform ( a VM appliance ) or what it's filename is.
Anyway my experiences where as follows:-
1. defaulted WLC and via serial CLI ended up at the configuration wizard.
2. Set the correct LAG, management IP, hostname that NCS knew this controller by.
3. To test things just created a dummy WLAN ( SSID ) as I assumed this would be overwritten ( big mistake ! ).
At this point I connected the controller to the network and tried to restore the configuration from the config sync version.
First problem - you have to remember to set up the SNMP community string you were using as it is needed by the configuration sync process. After adding this to the controller I could push the configuration to the controller.
Second problem - failed to add the first WLAN from the backup as I have added the temporary dummy WLAN via the wizard and NCS reported a conflict. So had to delete WLAN ID 1 from the WLC GUI directly and then the config push no longer reported this error.
Third problem - for some reason did not add the TACACS server details - reported the error that it could not added them. I manually added these via a template via NCS and all was well.
Fourth problem - all but the first WLAN was in the disabled state - had to re-enable all of the WLANs
Fifth problem - any default items I had disabled or removed have not been saved - therefore I have removed the public and private SNMP communities - but these were still on the WLC after the restore. I have disabled unused ports not in the LAG as they show an error in NCS - these where not disabled after the restore.
So all in all not a very satisfactory restore process from NCS to an defaulted WLC ( ment to simulate to the customer what would be needed if they had to replace a controller due to hardware failure ).
So - anybody like to comment on what I did wrong - is there a different / better way of achieving this ??
Regards
Robert

Hello Robert,
all the tasks you did seem to be fine for me.
I was also wondering the process os restoring from NCS controller configuration backups ...
If anyone else could give another method with less drawbacks, that would be appreciated, but i doubt about it.

Guillaume.

Rogue AP - Not in sync with WCS and WLC

WCS - 7.0.164.0 and WLC - 7.0.98.0.

WCS - "Configuration Backup" failed. How to debug?

In WCS, the backgroun task "Configuration Backup", to back up configurations from the controllers, is returning a "Backup Failed" message. How do I troubleshoot? Are they detailed logs somewhere, either via the WCS GUI or via the Linux command line?
thanks,

Same problem here...
I just upgraded my 3GS to iOS5 and signed into iCloud using my Apple ID...
Every time I click "Back Up Now" in the iCloud preferences on the iPhone, I get "There was a problem completing the backup. Please try again later."
On my wife's iPhone 4, I just performed a back up and there were no errors. I tried this also on my wife's iPad 2 and it worked perfectly.
I have tried the following:
1. In iTunes, when my phone is connected, I selected "Back up to iCloud" on the summary tab
2. Reset my phone using the steps in the above post
3. Deleted the iCloud account on my iPhone and logged in again
4. Tried to backup from 3 different wireless networks
None of the steps above fixed the issue which has been going on all day for me...
Any other help would be great - thanks!

WLC 4402-50 with ACS 3.3

Hi,
We want to use ACS to authenticate an ssh or http connection to a WLC 4403-50 4.2.99 using TACACS+. On our ACS 4.2 test server it works fine. Configured identically on an ACS 3.3 appliance we are not able to log in although we do see a successful login in the Passed Authentications report withing ACS.
Is there an incompatability between the WLC 4402-50 with ACS 3.3?
thanks
Bob

The Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) provides authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) services for users of the wireless network.
It is also possible to employ a WLC controller strategy that uses an N+1 approach. When using N+1 architecture, each WLC is configured with a WLC that is designated as a backup WLC in the event of a failure. This controller is not used until there is a failure event upon which all APs using the failed controller switch to the backup WLC. This cost-effective approach provides a high level of availability in the event of a single WLC failure scenario.

How to monitor traffic and associations per AP with WCS?

Hi,
is there a way to get traffic and client access/associations data with WCS for each AP of a centrally managed WLAN?
I manage a campus WLAN with a 4402 WLC (software version 6.0.188.0) and a WCS version 6.0.170.0 .
WCS provides me detailed information on a client basis: I'm able to know the association history of each client currently
connected, both which AP the client has connected to, and how much traffic the client has generated/received for each connection.
I hadn't find a way to get the same information on an AP basis. Namely, which clients have been connected, and how much traffic
has been transmitted per time slot.
I suppose this is just a matter of making a different query to the WCS database, since the data are the same used for providing
the information on the client association and traffic history. Though, I haven't find a way on WCS to get this information.
Thanks a lot in advance for any help, cheers,
Piero

Use the client reports from WCS reporting:

The Client Summary report contains four sub reports. Each of them can be independently customized. The following information is default information available from a Client Summary report depending on the customizable report selected:
•Number of Sessions
•Number of Total Users
•Number of Unique Users
•Number of New Users
•Number of Unique APs
•Number of Users per AP
•Total Traffic (MB)
•Average Traffic per Session (KB) and per user (in KB)

Prime Infrastructure Controller Configuration Backup

Hi,
Does anyone know if its possible to send controller configuration backups to a specific folder on a FTP server?
Currently PI backs up all the controller configs to the root directory of my FTP server. It would be really good if I can specify a folder to store the configs within Prime. Perhaps I should be backing up the configs a different way?
Thanks,

How to configure sso with SSL step by step

Purpose
In this document, you can learn how to configure SSO with SSL. After user have certificate installed in browser, he can login without input username and password.
Overview
In this document we will demonstrate:
1.     How to configure OHS support SSL
2.     How to Register SSO with SSL
3.     Configure SSO for certificates
Prerequisites
Before start this document, you should have:
1.     Oracle AS 10g infrastructure installed (10.1.2)
2.     OCA installed
Note:
1.     “When you install Oracle infrastructure, please make sure you have select OCA.
2.     How Certificate-Enabled Authentication Works:
a.     The user tries to access a partner application.
b.     The partner application redirects the user to the single sign-on server for authentication. As part of this redirection, the browser sends the user's certificate to the login URL of the server (2a). If it is able to verify the certificate, the server returns the user to the requested application.
c.     The application delivers content. Users whose browsers are configured to prompt for a certificate-store password may only have to present this password once, depending upon how their browser is configured. If they log out and then attempt to access a partner application, the browser passes their certificate to the single sign-on server automatically. This means that they never really log out. To effectively log out, they must close the browser.
Enable SSL on the Single Sign-On Middle Tier
The following steps involve configuring the Oracle HTTP Server. Perform them on the single sign-on middle tier. In doing so, keep the following in mind:
l     You must configure SSL on the computer where the single sign-on middle tier is running.
l     You are configuring one-way SSL.
l     You may enable SSL for simple network encryption; PKI authentication is not required. Note though that you must use a valid wallet and server certificate. The default wallet location is ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/ssl.wlt/default.
1.     Back up the opmn.xml file, found at ORACLE_HOME/opmn/conf
2.     In opmn.xml, change the value for the start-mode parameter to ssl-enabled. This parameter appears in boldface in the xml tag immediately following.
<ias-component id="HTTP_Server">
<process-type id="HTTP_Server" module-id="OHS">
<module-data>
<category id="start-parameters">
<data id="start-mode" value="ssl-enabled"/>
</category>
</module-data>
<process-set id="HTTP_Server" numprocs="1"/>
</process-type>
</ias-component>
3.     Update the distributed cluster management database with the change: ORACLE_HOME/dcm/bin/dcmctl updateconfig -ct opmn
4.     Reload the modified opmn configuration file:
ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl reload
5.     Keep a non-SSL port active. The External Applications portlet communicates with the single sign-on server over a non-SSL port. The HTTP port is enabled by default. If you have not disabled the port, this step requires no action.
6.     Apply the rule mod_rewrite to SSL configuration. This step involves modifying the ssl.conf file on the middle-tier computer. The file is at ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf. Back up the file before editing it.
Because the Oracle HTTP Server has to be available over both HTTP and HTTPS, the SSL host must be configured as a virtual host. Add the lines that follow to the SSL Virtual Hosts section of ssl.conf if they are not already there. These lines ensure that the single sign-on login module in OC4J_SECURITY is invoked when a user logs in to the SSL host.
<VirtualHost ssl_host:port>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteOptions inherit
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file.
7.     Update the distributed cluster management database with the changes:
ORACLE_HOME/dcm/bin/dcmctl updateconfig -ct ohs
8.     Restart the Oracle HTTP Server:
ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl stopproc process-type=HTTP_Server
ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl startproc process-type=HTTP_Server
9.     Verify that you have enabled the single sign-on middle tier for SSL by trying to access the OracleAS welcome page, using the format https://host:ssl_port.
Reconfigure the Identity Management Infrastructure Database
Change all references of http in single sign-on URLs to https within the identity management infrastructure database. When you change single sign-on URLs in the database, you must also change these URLs in the targets.xml file on the single sign-on middle tier. targets.xml is the configuration file for the various "targets" that Oracle Enterprise Manager monitors. One of these targets is OracleAS Single Sign-On.
1.     Change Single Sign-On URLs
Run the ssocfg script, taking care to enter the command on the computer where the single sign-on middle tier is located. Use the following syntax:
UNIX:
$ORACLE_HOME/sso/bin/ssocfg.sh protocol host ssl_port
Windows:
%ORACLE_HOME%\sso\bin\ssocfg.bat protocol host ssl_port
In this case, protocol is https. (To change back to HTTP, use http.) The parameter host is the host name, or server name, of the Oracle HTTP listener for the single sign-on server.
Here is an example:
ssocfg.sh https login.acme.com 4443
2. Restart OC4J_SECURITY instance and verify the configuration
To determine the correct port number, examine the ssl.conf file. Port 4443 is the port number that the OracleAS installer assigns during installation.
If you run ssocfg successfully, the script returns a status 0. To confirm that you were successful, restart the OC4J_SECURITY instance:
ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl restartproc process-type=OC4J_SECURITY
Then try logging in to the single sign-on server at its SSL address:
https://host:ssl_port/pls/orasso/
     3. Back up the file targets.xml:
cp ORACLE_HOME/sysman/emd/targets.xml ORACLE_HOME/sysman/emd/targets.xml.backup
4. Open the file and find the target type oracle_sso_server. Within this target type, locate and edit the three attributes that you passed to ssocfg:
·     HTTPMachine—the server host name
·     HTTPPort—the server port number
·     HTTPProtocol—the server protocol
If, for example, you run ssocfg like this:
ORACLE_HOME/sso/bin/ssocfg.sh http sso.mydomain.com:4443
Update the three attributes this way:
<Property NAME="HTTPMachine" VALUE="sso.mydomain.com"/>
<Property NAME="HTTPPort" VALUE="4443"/>
<Property NAME="HTTPProtocol" VALUE="HTTPS"/>
5.Save and close the file.
6.     Reload the OracleAS console:
     ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl reload
7. Issue these two commands:
ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl restartproc process-type=HTTP_Server
ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl restartproc process-type=OC4J_SECURITY
Registering mod_osso
1.     This command sequence that follows shows a mod_osso instance being reregistered with the single sign-on server.
$ORACLE_HOME/sso/bin/ssoreg.sh
     -oracle_home_path $ORACLE_HOME
     -config_mod_osso TRUE
     -mod_osso_url https://myhost.mydomain.com:4443
2.     Restarting the Oracle HTTP Server
After running ssoreg, restart the Oracle HTTP Server:
ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl restartproc process-type=HTTP_Server
Configuring the Single Sign-On System for Certificates
1.     Configure policy.properties with the Default Authentication Plugin
Update the DefaultAuthLevel section of the policy.properties file with the correct authentication level for certificate sign-on. This file is at ORACLE_HOME/sso/conf. Set the default authentication level to this value:
DefaultAuthLevel = MediumHighSecurity
Then, in the Authentication plugins section, pair this authentication level with the default authentication plugin:
MediumHighSecurity_AuthPlugin = oracle.security.sso.server.auth.SSOX509CertAuth
2.     Restart the Single Sign-On Middle Tier
After configuring the server, restart the middle tier:
ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl restartproc process-type=HTTP_Server
ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl restartproc process-type=OC4J_SECURITY
Bringing the SSO Users to OCA User Certificate Request URL
The OCA server reduces the administrative and maintenance cost of provisioning a user certificate. The OCA server achieves this by authenticating users by using OracleAS SSO server authentication. All users who have an Oracle AS SSO server account can directly get a certificate by using the OCA user interface. This reduces the time normoally requidred to provision a certificate by a certificate authority.
The URL for the SSO certificate Request is:
https://<Oracle_HTTP_host>:<oca_ssl_port>/oca/sso_oca_link
You can configure OCA to provide the user certificate request interface URL to SSO server for display whenever SSO is not using a sertificate to authenticate a user. After the OracleAS SSO server authenticates a user, it then display the OCA screen enabling that user to request a certificate.
To link the OCA server to OracleAS SSO server, use the following command:
ocactl linksso
opmnctl stoproc type=oc4j instancename=oca
opmnctl startproc type=oc4j instancename=oca
You also can use ocactl unlinksso to unlink the OCA to SSO.

I have read the SSO admin guide, and performed the steps for enabling SSL on the SSO, and followed the steps to configure mod_osso with virtual host on port 4443 as mentioned in the admin guide.
The case now is that when I call my form (which is developed by forms developer suite 10g and deployed on the forms server which is SSO enabled) , it calls the SSO module on port 7777 using http (the default behaviour).
on a URL that looks like this :
http://myhostname:7777/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login?Site2pstoreToken=.......
and gives the error :
( Forbidden
You don't have permisission to access /sso/auth on this server at port 7777)
when I manually change the URL to :
https://myhostname:4443/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login?Site2pstoreToken=.......
the SSO works correctly.
The question is :
How can I change this default behaviour and make it call SSO on port 4443 using https instead ?
Any ideas ?

How can I create a new TC backup with ethernet, so I don't have to wait two days for a new wireless backup?
Several times in the last year, I've gotten a message that Time Machine needs to completely redo my backup. Using the wireless connection, this takes almost two days. Is there a way to do the backup with ethernet and then switch back to wireless? Thanks.

May I know what is needed to make sure the MacBook is able to see Time Capsule on ethernet?
Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the 2Wire gateway to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the Time Capsule.
If AirPort Utility cannot "see" the Time Capsule now, you will need to perform a "hard reset" by holding in the reset button for 7-8 seconds or so and then reconfigure the Time Capsule. You can use the same Time Capsule name and password, etc. as before.
Configure the Time Capsule to "Create a wireless network" and select the Bridge Mode option when it appears during the setup using AirPort Utility.
Once the Time Capsule is configured, restart the entire network again. Power down everything, start the 2Wire first and then start each other device after that one at a time about a minute apart.
Now you can connect your Mac directly to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule for the backup using another Ethernet cable. In general, about 20-25 GB per hour will transfer.
The Time Capsule will broadcast a much faster wireless network than the 2Wire can provide, so you might want to leave the setup "as is" for awhile after the first backup is complete. If you decide to use the Time Capsule as your main wireless access point, you would want to turn the wireless off on the 2Wire since two wireless networks in close proximity can create interference problems.
Or, if you want to use the wireless on the 2Wire, you could turn off the wireless on the Time Capsule. Then backups will occur over the 2Wire wireless, or over Ethernet.
I don't really recommend the "Join a wireless network" setting on the Time Capsule for most users, but you could go back to that setup as well if you want after the first backup is complete.

Windows Server 2003 R2 Backup with Hyper-V in DPM

Hello,
I am trying to backup multiple Windows Server 2003 R2 VMs on Hyper-V (Windows Server 2012 R2) with DPM.
When I try to this I get the following errors:
On the Hyper-V Host:
Source: VSS ID:8229
A VSS writer has rejected an event with error 0x800423f4, The writer experienced a non-transient error. If the backup process is retried,
the error is likely to reoccur.
. Changes that the writer made to the writer components while handling the event will not be available to the requester. Check the event log for related events from the application hosting the VSS writer.

In the Windows Server 2003 R2 VM there are no errors in the eventlog.
Only the information, that VSS is started and stopped after a while.
When I do a Backup with ntbackup of in the VM everything runs fine.
When I create a checkpoint with Hyper-V everything runs fine, too.
The integration services are up to date and get-vmintegrationservice -vmname VMName shows everything is enabled and OK.
On the Hyper-V host there are 13 VMs. 3 of them are running Windows Server 2003 R2 and 2 of them are showing this error. It seems to be no general problem with Windows Server 2003 R2 then.
I tried the backup on a different Hyper-V host with no success.
How can I narrow down the cause of this error?
Thanks.
greets,
torsten

Thank you to everyone in this thread!
After digging through VSS and Hyper-V dead-ends, the solution above worked for me in a W2012 R2 environment.
I only had this problem trying to back up W2012 R2 Hyper-V VMs stored on a CSV, hosted on a W2012 R2 Host Cluster, backing up from a Host node. I could back up from within the guests fine. Both Windows Server Backup and DPM 2012 R2
gave VSS errors on the cluster hosts.
In fact Windows Server Backup complains with 80780189 it won't back up an application with files on a CSV, which is a common cluster configuration. This is an example of another caveat in a minefield of MS caveats buried in fine print which often negates
configurations touted by MS Marketing, things which sound great on a sell sheet, but in practice are impractical or just not production-ready because of these restrictions.
Disabled Backup in Integration Services, performed an offline back up from DPM 2012 R2 (which did briefly affect serving the workloads on the VM), which succeeded, and then re-enabled Backup in Integration Services. DPM then continued to
sync successfully after that for a day. However, this problem returned after a period of heavy DPM backup activity. So I redistributed backups through various Protection Groups to spread the DPM load over a longer period and this seems to
have solved this problem.
In general I had lots of problems installing, configuring, and now operating DPM, so the experience has not been smooth, but most of the problems have now been solved. I find you have to "baby" this product and not push it too hard,
otherwise things start breaking.
Thanks again everyone!
