ACS & Active Directory integration

Hello world

I am currently working on a deployment of the ACS that is only used for authentication of the user for network devices and I was wondering if there was any advantages or disadvantages for the integration of the ACS in Active Directory.  Anyone know if there are benefits to keep the two separate technologies?  The integration helps simplify management?  Any information or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Miller,

The main advantage is that you don't have to create a user/password to the ACS. When we have a lot of users is easy to map to Active Directory rather then manually setting GBA users.

It easier for the administrator.

The only downside is when connectivity between FAC and AD breaks, users won't be able to connect.

Kind regards

  • Host to Active Directory integration

    Hi, I'm trying to locate any information or not there's a vSphere license level required for the integration of commercials for ESXi hosts.  I found one of the VCP5 online documentation had answers for one of their questions of practice indicating that Enterprise Plus was a requirement with vCenter Standard edition.  No one knows for sure if it's true?

    If so, you would happen to have any documentation of license VMware which States that?

    Thank you!

    I'm not aware of this requirement and you can learn more about these links:

    Configure a host to use Active Directory in the Web Client vSphere

    Join the ESX hosts to Active Directory. VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

    What you read may be on Enterprise Plus is that any time we use Host Profiles to reset the local root password and use the host profiles you'll really need the Enterprise Plus edition.

  • VCOPS 5.8 - where is the "Active Directory integration"?

    5.8 Notes version is a "novelty".

    Authentication options with the new integration with active directory for authentication.

    Where is this new option? All I see is former "LDAP import', which works, somehow. I was expecting something more easy to AD.

    I understand that it was a typo in the rel notes, because there is no change in the integration of Ops 5.8 vC ads. I think that this excerpt was intended to rel Insight journal notes, that add features more AD.

  • iDRAC Active Directory integration

    Hello

    I recently tried to integrate all our DRACs here with Active Directory to connect this way, rather than a generic username and the password shared by several employees. I downloaded the Dell Remote Access Configuration tool and it works beautifully. It is able to define the appropriate settings for many DRAC allow AD users to sign everything at once.

    However, there is a slight problem that I can't seem to understand. On the DRACs 11 of the ~ 50 that I have configured this way, credentials fail. I thought maybe I was just fat-fingering the keys, but after having several people try both the holiday and work DRAC, there seems to be a problem with the way those 11 have been configured.

    I did every configuration run in groups of about 10, and within each group, there was 1 or 2 that just did not work properly. After you have compiled a list of the 11 who did not work properly, I even tried to run through Setup once again, does not. And looking at the information provided to me, there is nothing to differentiate these from another ~ 40 who succeeded. There is so much iDRAC6s and iDRAC7s, and there are several different firmware versions. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that if I have a card DRAC of the same type in the 11 that don't work, there are one of the same type, version of the firmware, model and in the 40 ~ that work. So, I can't see the problem.

    I hope this is enough information to find someone has begun to help solve my problem. If anyone has any questions or suggestions, I would be very happy to have in your.

    Thank you

    Jacob

    Hello Jacob

    If there was a problem with one or two iDRAC, I would say that this could be a hardware problem or a problem with a bad firmware image. Because what is happening across a large percentage of your question iDRAC is probably with the configuration of your network or security. I suggest you to check your network configuration to ensure that the iDRAC who have problems is able to communicate properly with the advertising server.

    If you feel that there is a problem with the iDRAC so I suggest firmware reflashing, reset the default values and then reconfigure one of the iDRAC problem manually to see if the problem persists.

    Thank you

  • Simple Active Directory integration

    Hello

    I need to integrate a portal Cisco 9.3.1 with Active Directory in order to demonstrate the capabilities of the portal in a classic 'AD' environment.

    I have reviewed the documentation for two weeks, but not really found any answers to my questions.

    The PDF documentation is quite minimalist and seems to imply knowledge of older versions of Newscale.

    So here are my questions:

    • Is it possible to import my users A.D. in the database of the portal of Cisco?
    • Why then I log in my portal with admin/admin when I activated authentication events external (it says in the intro that auth. local is tested by default before external one).
    • Y at - it somewhere more complete documentation on these issues?

    What would be great is a sheet of best practices on how to integrate the portal into AD.

    Thank you in advance.

    David

    It should still work if you use the UPN-AD for the EUABindDN. I have my lab work but with the events of "Search person" and not the events of connection. I'll have to test it with connection events.

    Make sure that you try to import all users data for fields that you map. If there is a field that is NULL in AD but which is mapped in your Center application mappings then the import will fail. You can test this by going to the configuration of mappings and the login name of the AD (sAMAccountName) and then by testing research to see that all mapped fields are filled with data. This search will use your UPN format ([email protected] / * /) to query the AD and pull the info there should therefore be a test valid user to import event.

  • Grrr... love without Active Directory integration

    I'm working with a new installation of Lab Manager 4.0. Everything works great except that I can not simply to find a permutation of unique database name that returns valid information of our domain controller.

    I noticed that nobody has posted this question for some time which suggests that I'm doing something wrong.

    I use anonymous reading, no protocol ldaps without patents. My LM is member of the domain. My unique Base name of tent have included:

    DC = domain, DC = tld

    OR = people, DC = domain, DC = tld

    LDAP://CN=users, DC is domain, DC = tld

    LDAP://DC.domain.tld/CN=users, DC = domain, DC = tld

    Any ideas on my mistakes? The installation works great except for the integration of ads.

    I'll have to resort to a sniff of traffic WireShark?

    Thank you

    AUPhil wrote:

    Those who are correct. You can check if it works using the credentials, maybe your LDAP server does not support anonymous readings? You can also try using the "ldp.exe" of Microsoft and check your settings in LM work in "ldp.exe" also.

  • By integrating wireless deployment Active Directory User Group

    I'm discovering best practices in deploying a WLAN for users in the environment to cooperate, who uses their company active directory integrated mobile to join the WLAN.

    I know that this can be done easily using certificates, but I just want to find a way to deploy without certificates and only based on the users AD Group. Maybe a Radius Server + integration solution LDAP server would be great.

    The best way to deply is with a Microsoft Toolbox, it has everything you need included, manuals, scripts to install and configure components on the server side and it is very easy to use. You can get it here:

  • Integration with Active Directory OraHome92?

    Let me first say that I have absolutely zero knowledge of all Oracle products, I don't know if I'm posting in the right forum, but I'm here, if I need to ask another forum please let me know.

    Question:
    We are Microsoft System administrators. We have a client that is running a very old application to the database on a Windows 2003 server. Currently they use a new database (Oracle, not), but the oracle database must accessible for research in history.

    The application works very well.

    We plan to migrate the domain existing (Active Directory) to a couple of servers R2 2012.

    The 2003 with oracle server is also a domain controller, and we do not want in our field of 2012R2 2003 domain controllers.

    Our question is can demote us this domain controller and Orahome92 will work after the demotion?

    Server 2003 is not the FSMO, the FSMO is a Windows Server 2008.

    In other words, how Orahome92 integrates with Active Directory? Or isn't there any Active Directory integration and may us just demote the server and leave it to run as a member of the domain server?

    Maybe you need more information about oracle, all I can say that the following services are running:

    OracleMTSRecoveryService
    OracleOraHome92TNListener

    OracleServiceORCL

    Oracle installed, but NOT running services:
    OracleOraHome92Agent
    OracleOraHome92ClientCache
    OracleOraHome92HTTPServer

    OracleOraHome92PAgingServer

    OracleOraHome92SNMPPeerEncapsulator

    OracleOraHome92SNMPPeerMasterAgent


    I hope sombody can give treatment of this or point us in the right direction.

    I would not be protected by an export created like this. It is not a full export, is an export of the only pattern and you may need more than that if it is necessary to rebuild the database. In addition, it is not a coherent export which may make it unnecessary. I was running export something like this:

    exp.exe System/sys@oracle_w3 complete file=d:\directory\\file.dmp = compliance = y

    You may think it's all pretty awkward. The problem is that it is generally considered bad practice to install Oracle on a domain controller, unless you install as a member of the domain administrators group. I guess just like you do not have that, you can be able to downgrade the machine without affecting the database. But I don't really know, Windows security is a mystery to me.

  • The user's Active Directory domain

    In the Console of BB10, under Microsoft Active Directory integration, you can change the "domain of the user.  I need to be able to change this setting through the API.  Is there a function for it?  Currently, the admins have manually change this setting to search for users in other areas.

    This setting seems to control the whole BOTTOM area uses for cataloging user accounts, what changes this might have rather drastic results.

    I would recommend announces a new application functionality to JIRA, I see not all methods where this can be controlled programmatically through BWS today.

  • Password to Active Directory as the encryption password

    Hi all


    I created a picture virtual Horizon Flex through Vmware workstation Pro. I give a password FRO the encryption. While checking the relase notes, his is of the opinion that we can define the password Active directory than encryption.


    Password active Directory integrated - Horizon FLEX administrators can allow end users to use their Active Directory password as the password for the encryption to access the Horizon FLEX virtual machine after the first start.

    Can someone help me set up the same. where I need to set this option?

    Hi all

    This Option is set when creating a policy.

    Activate the option: 'Set power passphrase to the password of the user AD after the first start' in politics, this will indicate that the password that users enter when you feed the virtual machine matches the Active Directory password.

  • VSphere 5.5 and active directory

    Hello

    I'm having a problem trying to set up a new device Center 5.5 use AD permissions. My ad is 2012, I gave the host in which the vc unit sits on a COMPLETE domain name and it is joined to the domain, then, I'm going to the VC unit and join it to AD that she is successful. When I go to add permissions the ad domain is here not only local and sphere.local appears.

    When I look in the AD, I noticed that the host and the VC have not computer accounts even if they seem to be joined to the domain successfully.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

  • VCenter SSO Active Directory identity Source edition

    Hello

    I am facing a strange problem when you change the Source of identity SSO for Active Directory integration. When I try to change the URL of the primary and secondary LDAPS server I got the error "unable to connect to one or more of the provided external server URL: servername.domain.com:3269 ' initially, then" unable to connect to one or more of the provided external server URL: GSSAPI. I think it's the same problem. SSO is trying to contact the former domain controller (which no longer exists) and cannot save the changes.

    I tried it with a CNAME entry for the old FULL domain name, but it seems to not work. I can still edit with CLI commands, I can only find create and delete actions for the command.

    Most of Google's responses to this topic is to remove the Source of identity and create a new. Can my question, I get other problems when you remove the Source of identity, as for example with the permissions on folders, virtual computers, etc. ? If this is not the case, what I need to do something else and then delete and create a new? Reset? Restart the service or something?

    Would be great if someone could help me quickly with it.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I have the test in a test environment. Source of identity must be deleted and a new must be created in order to change the URL of a server that is no longer active. No permissions are deleted when you delete the identity Source.

    There is no firewall between the vCenter and the domain controllers. Thanks for the answer.

  • Passwords enable ISE device Administration (ACS) integrating with Active Directory

    I'm working on a standalone application ISE and running into a problem where the password to enable for a device is not shoot properly.  I have the original connection related AD and I policy conditions/results/sets all as they should be working.  My test run is a 2960 S.  I tried to set up ' group aaa authentication enable default Activate ', but the only way I could do a login enabled with which was if the user has configured locally in ISE identity management > identity > users.  Is there something that I missed that tie will enable passwords for a group active directory as I work for the initial logon?

    I see just a mistake with your failure to enable aaa authentication enable. You must specify the Group of Ganymede.

    Right now, I don't have access to my lab with ISE.

    Here's my config for switches used with ACS.

    AAA authentication login GANYMEDE-SRV Group Ganymede + local
    local authentication AAA Console connection
    Group AAA dot1x default authentication RADIUS
    AAA authorization exec GANYMEDE-SRV Group Ganymede + local
    AAA authorization commands 15 GANYMEDE-SRV Group Ganymede + local
    Group AAA authorization network default RADIUS
    AAA accounting exec GANYMEDE-SRV arrhythmic group Ganymede +.
    orders accounting AAA 15 GANYMEDE-SRV arrhythmic group Ganymede +.

    If you give me all out maybe we can understand why your GANYMEDE ISE works do not with the AD. I see no reason except a misconfiguration or another issue.

    Just to go to the mode, you need more aaa authentication command activate by default enable. This activation mode is pushed to the user if he gets the privilege 15. Your problem should be on the profile or politics. With the approval journal, we can see whether or not ISE pushes politics and why?

  • Replication of ACS and integration with the Active directory database

    Hi all

    I have to configure two ACS SE with the internal database replication. I have also a server active directory that must integrate with ACS. My doubt is that I need to configure the IP address of the ACS during installation of the remote agent on active directory or only the primary ACS

    No need to give the IP of two ACS. Give the primary IP of ACS.
