ACS appliance upgrade: 3, 0000-11 to 5.0

We are running 2 ACS 1110 (?) devices with version 3, 0000-11 code. They are due to be upgraded to 2 new 1120 ACS ACS 5.0 devices. I looked around Cisco.com but can't find a guide step by step to such a way of upgrading.

My questions are:

  1. ACS 5.0 support direct upgrade to 3.3.3? By that I mean, is - it possible to take a backup of the old device file and restore it to the new?
  2. If not, what are the intermediate steps? I have to take the file from backup and restore to an intermediate version of ACS?

Thank you!

Hi Wei,

No, it does not support direct upgrade to 5.x. You need to upgrade to 4.1 or 4.2 and 5.1.  I would say to work with TAC to get all the software needed to get the DB up to the version required for migration to 5.x.

Data can also be migrated.

Kind regards

  • ACS appliance fails to recognize an installed certificate

    When I install a certificate from CA - Windows Server, following the procedure of "Wired Dot1x version 1.05 Config guide" (Document ID 64068) and the 'Guide user to ACS,' I have the following problem. If I want to change the "overall authentication settings', I get the warning"could not initialize the PEAP or EAP - TLS authentication protocol because the certificate authority is not installed. Install the certification authority using the ACS Certification Authority Setup page".

    But if I check "install Certificate", it is said that the certificate is installed correctly and it is also added to the "Configuration page of the authority.

    I already found the following in the as 4.1.4 release notes: "turn off the Security agent, reinstall the certificate in accordance with the procedure and then re - activate the security officer.

    I did it but I still have the same error, even if the security officer is disabled (I checked it in the console with the command 'show' and the CSA is off).

    Can someone help me how to recognize the installed certificate?

    P.S. I also see 2 devices in the AAA-server list:

    -ACS01 (the name I gave him in the initial configuration). This one has an IP address of the DHCP server, even if I said NOT to use a DHCP server, but a static IP!

    -Self: this one has the static IP I configured via the console...

    I can't remove one of the AAA servers. Is it normal that there are 2 servers?

    Bert,

    It seems that the certification authority that you have installed is damaged or poorly installed. I want do you is remove the certicate CA by using the MMC on windows in ACS and then reinstall it.

    You, too, need to install the certificate authority root in ACS. You can install the certificate authority root in System Configuration-> ACS certificate of installation-> ACS certificate authority installation.

    Also incase you use Verisign cert, you install VeriSign intermediate CA certificates.

  • ACS Appliance backup

    I have a new ACS 5.6 machine I want to save periodically. I went to the Administration of the system--> backups scheduled and configured two backups

    one to a local repository and the other on a TFTP server on the network

    For the TFTP server protocol I specified the folder on the server uses to the TFTP root (/ ACS) and provided a password for encryption.

    It is, it doesn't seem to work, and I don't see that anything is reports indicating if the system has attempted to save, if there is a failure, or why. I do not see an error about incremental backup of the purges without being configured, but that seems to be something different

    is there anything else I need to do?

    Instead, I would try an FTP or SFTP server. TFTP does not play well with larger files. If you do not already have an FTP/SFTP server you can try one of the free ones out there just to test and confirm. FreeFTPD is a free and very easy to use:

  • ACS Appliance Agent remote problem

    Hello

    We have depending you on the situation:

    -2 x ACS SE

    -2 x ACS Agents on member servers remotely

    -2 x ASA

    We would like to authenticate the VPN users connecting to the ASA via the ACS and active directory.

    I have configured the remote agent following this link:

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_server_for_solution_engine/3.3/installation/guide/remote_agent/Rawi.html#wp289426

    But we are not able to pick up groups active directory to the AEC gui--> user external database > database group mappings > Active Directory > new Configuration.

    On the domain controller, we get the error ID 1030 and 1058, someone had these problems too?

    Thanks in advance and best regards

    Dominic

    Most likely, this is a Permission problem. What OS and SP you use.

    Have you tried to run the remote agent by using the LOCAL account instead of the service account that you created?

  • ACS appliance 4.2 - database replication internal problem

    HelloW

    I'm yunchoul jung in Korea

    now I'm setting up ACS unit 1113 ver4.2

    in internal, primary and secondary database replication server ACS cannot repliacate the database due to the configuration of SELF (127.0.0.1) by default in the configuration of the network.

    so I have a guestion, how do I replace 127.0.0.1 address to the ip address you want or delete SELF (127.0.0.1) address

    I don't understand a procedure of solution in the documentation below.

    Thank you for your help in advance

    Problem: 127.0.0.1 is a reserved address

    You have two units of the ACS SE 1113 and replicate the database internal from the primary to the secondary.

    but you notice this error message in the secondary unit:

    Replication of database of ACS denied - incompatibility of secret shared incoming

    When you try to change the key of course AAA under Network Configuration Server error message is

    returned.

    This is due to a known bug,

    Symptom: 127.0.0.1 address appears in ACS and the replication fails

    Conditions:

    Install Acs S/W version 4.2.0.124

    Disable the network adapter

    Enable network card

    * Go to the network settings page.

    * Should see the AA server IP to be a return loop

    Workaround solution:

    For windows: remove the 127.0.0.1 entry

    For the device: back up the database, install ACS on windows, restore, delete

    the entry, make a backup and restore on the device

  • ACS appliance multiple use of interface

    Is it possible for me to use both interfaces are available in the 1113 box? I want to connect these two interfaces to two separate network segments. I did find something specific in the Cosole except the fixed ip that would be only an interface unique config.

    Thank you

    You can use only one.

    Your system of 1113 Cisco integrated 10/100/1000 megabits - per second (Mbps) Ethernet connectors. ACS SE takes care of the operation of an Ethernet connector, but not the two connectors.

  • ACS 3.2 on Win2k - upgrade from the replicated SACRED path

    Hi all

    I have 2 servers ACS 3.2 I want to upgrade to 4.2.1 the latest version before 5, as I understand.

    My question is about replication. Should I stop the replication of database and upgrade servers separately or not? Can I put the servers as replication of database is configured? If so, is there a specific order of upgrade?

    Thank you

    Jose

    Here the user guide.

    "All of the SACRED that is involved in replication must run the same version of the ACS software. For example, if the primary ACS is running ACS version 3.2, all secondary ACSS should run ACS version 3.2. Because patches can introduce significant changes to the internal database of GBA, we strongly recommend that ACSS involved in replication use the same patch level. »

    So, I suggest to turn off replication before upgrade. After all of the ACS are upgraded to the same version, you can enable replication again.

  • 5.6 ACS authentication problem

    We are in the process of upgrading our ACS 4.1 for a 5.6 ACS appliance.

    The unit is installed on the network, etc. correctly licensed.

    I joined the ACS server to the AD domain without problem. I created a few local and external (AD) users for testing.

    I created a network (switch catalyst) as a Ganymede client device + and specified single-connect.

    When I SSH into the switch, I can connect using my AD user name and password, but I can't go into enable mode. It says "authentication failure".

    My aaa settings are

    radius-server host 172.25.50.8
    RADIUS-server timeout 3
    RADIUS-server application made
    radius-server key

    Miss me something somewhere, I don't know where. If I try and download the bundle to support ACS, it says download, but does not say where (or how).

    any advice would be great. I'm new to this product.

    See the document: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5-6/migration/guide/migration_guide/Migration_support.html#pgfId-1014889

  • ACS issues update 4.2 to 4.2.1

    I have been instructed to upgrade our four ACS servers of

    4.2.1.15 to the latest version.  ACS servers are

    the applianced basis.  I went through the software download page

    from cisco.com and we found this file:

    cumulative (ACS SE 4.2.1.15.11 app/Acs_4.2.1.15.11.zip

    patch).

    Can anyone confirm if it is the download of the file more later/better

    the latest version 4.2 of material according to Cisco Secure ACS?

    For those who have upgraded to the latest version, you can

    Comment on your experience with the process of upgrading or

    ACS performance after upgrade?  Any questions/warnings on the

    process or performance after upgrade?

    Thanks in advance for any useful information that you can

    predict this?

    Adil

    I don't see installation step by step of the fix documented somewhere because the same by applying the upgrade and simple too. Here are the steps you need to perform.

    1. download the zip file patch for any PC which we will call the server upgrade or the distribution server.

    2 unzip the patch

    3. run autorun.bat (you will see a window ACS appliance update and it remains in the background.

    You will also see an another IE window lauch which you gives a place to put the host name or IP address of the device)

    4. Enter the name of host or IP address of the device and click on install.

    5. This will bring to the opening window of session for the ACS unit.

    6 log in to the TAS

    7. click on System Configuration

    8. click on upgrade the device status

    9. click on download

    10 enter the upgrade server IP address, then click on connect

    11. you will see the patch you are trying to install.  Click Download now

    12. click on download it again.

    13. click on apply the update

    14. click on the upgrade again.

    15. click on Yes

    16. click on Yes.

    17 click done.

    18. on the upgrade server, click 'stop the Distribution Server '.

    In order to stop csagent, go to system configuration > configuration of the device (I think)

    P.S. Please open a TAC case if you are not comfortable in the application of the hotfix.
