ACS as Radius Server V4.1

We plan to use our server ACS to act as a Radius server. Our ACS is used on Windows Server 2003 running V4.1 for Ganymede.

I would like to know if ACS is to act as a Radius Server, what kind of questions we expect?

looking for related information on the capabilities of benefits vs. warnings and pitfalls of this approach GBA?

Thank you

ACS can act as both as a server RADIUS and GANYMEDE,

When you say what kinds of questions to expect: you need to check for the open caveats in release 4.1 of the ACS notes.

  • How 2 Configure ACS 4.2 to delegate authentication to the radius server

    Hello

    We need run the following scenario:

    Cisco VPN client (or any connect, Cisco SSL VPN client)---> Cisco ASA 5520---> Cisco ACS 4.2---> CAT Authentication Server

    The CAT authentication server is a Radius server. It can receive Radius authentication requests and respond. It is used for strong authentication TFA WBS similar to RSA OTP tokens.

    The question is: how we set up the 4.2 ACS to delegate authentication request to another Radius server.

    Thnx

    Add the RSA server as an external database, configure the drop user profile or a group to authenticate on the new external database rather than ACS DB Local (or Windows DB).

    Easy as pie!

  • Newbie question on access to the RADIUS server

    I've worked before on RADIUS servers running on Windows but not on Unix. I'm new to an environment without any documentation and I make sure I have access to the GANYMEDE/ACS config.

  • Secondary RADIUS server

    I need help on setting up a secondary RADIUS server. I have a primary and secondary school. I would like AAA sending requests to the secondary server when the primary is either down or stopped service on the primary. Any ideas?

    You should consider two methods:

    The old school one like that.

    AAA new-model

    AAA authentication login default group Ganymede + local

    !

    radius-server host 10.1.122.11

    radius-server host 10.2.32.13

    RADIUS-server key abcdef

    If not, try a method of group like this:

    AAA new-model

    AAA server Ganymede group + ABCGROUP

    Server 10.1.1.5

    10.1.1.13 Server

    !

    ABCGROUP line group AAA authentication login default

    !

    GANYMEDE-Server 10.1.1.5 host

    radius-server host 10.1.1.13

    RADIUS-server key abcdef

    !

    Because the shared key (secret) cannot be configured in the configuration group, you must define RADIUS servers again at the end of the config.

    !

    Make sure that you have connectivity at a time before testing. Stop the service on your primary ACS and keep an eye on the reports to see the authentications spent in vain.

    Here; s another tip:

    By fallback authentication 'line', you can immediately distinguish a line Login and Ganymede Login. GANYMEDE will show: "username:" and encourages you to line "password:

  • Issue of operability of the ACS as RADIUS with ASA 5.0?

    Hello

    I'm trying my VPN to get authenticated user with RADIUS (ACS 5.0). and VPN users database is created in AD. Now when I am trying to connect through the Cisco VPN client, I am unable to do so. Infact, I get an error message (through debugging at the level of the SAA for aaa and isakmp) my RADIUS server is DOWN.

    Please let me know is there any compatibility issue with ACS 5.0 on it because everything was working fine on my version 4.2 of the ACS.

    Concerning

    Ritesh

    Ritesh,

    Yes, there is a lack of ACS 5.0 with vpn authentication.

    When you try to connect with the VPN client. you will not see any hits in the follow-up and the views.
    The ASDM logs: you'll see radius server is not accessible.
    Debugs you show RADIUS period.
    This will work with Ganymede.

    Access policy rule was does not. Also, could not use RADIUS as hit CSCsy17858

    http://cdetsweb-PRD.Cisco.com/apps/goto?identifier=CSCsy17858>; Used Ganymede + instead of RADIUS.

    If you want to use the RADIUS then you need to upgrade your version of acs to 5.1

    You can down load patch 9 (5-0-0-21 - 9.tar.gpg) and ADE-OS (ACS_5.0.0.21_ADE_OS_1.2_upgrade.tar.gpg) from the below path:

  • where is the secret field shared for the ACS 5.3 server itself?

    Hello

    We currently have a distributed PR and DR ACS 5.3 installation, implemented with Ganymede and a unit RADIUS.

    The RADIUS is AppResponse Xpert admin. used Opnet we try to intergrate AppResponse Xpert Admin with ACS.

    The GUI for AppResponse Xpert Admin request the ip address of the radius server - IE our ACS, RADIUS port - is to say 1812 and 'secret' - I assume that means the secret shared real AEC itself (not the shared secret used by network devices).

    On our ACS 4.2 systems, we have a field for a secret shared on the ACS itself Server (to allow replication?).

    With the help of the search function for "Shared Secret" in pdf format "the User Guide for Cisco Secure Access Conrol system 5.3" has only found references to define one for network devices and not a ground for GBA is.»

    A shared secret of the ACS server is still topical for the 5.x ACS system?

    Hi Stuart,

    To answer your question:

    There is no shared secret for the ACS itself.

    If the ACS needs to communicate with another device, you must define an AAA client and define a shared secret.

    ACS 4, used this secret shared to protect/secure replication, the ACS 5, secured by encryption replication and not shared secrets (hash).

  • Dell Powerconnect 35xx series features Radius Server behaviorfin

    Hello Dell Community,

    I'm not able to find out how 35xx series switches handle 'server radius deadtime' parameter as described below:

    In the config of switch, I use two hosts(for redundancy) radius. The first has priority of '1' configured RADIUS, the second server is priority '2 '. So normally, if the first sever(priority 1) RADIUS online, auth requests switch are sent to this server all the time. And they really are.

    Now, I have also configured the 'deadtimet 10 radius server', meaning to jump on the radius server does not respond. Does that mean exactly?

    If the radius with priority 1 server is offline for a few seconds, the switch instantly consider this as dead radius server and sent no auth request it for the "period deadtime ' 10 minutes (depending on configuration)? How often switch check for the availability of the radius server host?

    config swtich:

    IP address Port port Prio time - Ret-dead-source IP. Its use

    Example config:

    Server radius coverage of console (config) # 3

    Console (config) # timeout 3 radius server

    Deadtimet console (config) # 10 radius server

    Result of config:

    -The client tries to connect.

    -switch attempts to authenticate the server 1.

    -Switch means no RADIUS server 1 for 3 second.

    -Switch waits 3 seconds.

    -Switch attempts to authenticate to the RADIUS server 1 for the second time and does not return to server for 3 seconds.

    -Switch waits 3 seconds.

    -Switch attempts to authenticate to the RADIUS server 1 for the third time and does not return to server for 3 seconds.

    -switch place RADIUS server, one in a State of low/dead for 10 minutes.

    Have you run wireshark on the server because the request to switch? If so you make sure that there is a response from the server? For Windows network POLICY Server (I've never tried Centos), you must ensure that the request is related to a policy which then authenticates, or denies access. Usually, it is a matter of such attributes and the seller.

    Regarding the configuration, it seems a bit out of the AAA. Try to remove the:

    line "aaa dot1x group service radius authentication" and this by using instead:

    "aaa dot1x default radius authentication group". After the dot1x word you are supposed to provide a list of the authentication or the default Word if you do not want to use a list.

  • How to restrict Internet access by using the RADIUS server via switch Catalyst 3560

    Dear all,

    I need a configuration using any. I have a small network of 15 users a 3560, which is in turn connected to a router ISR 2811. Interface fastethernet 0/24 switch 3560 I intend to connect to a unix based server RADIUS. ISP is connected on the opposite side of the 2811 to the fa0/0 interface.

    I want to make is that if someone among the 15 users tries to access the internet, they must be validated in the RADIUS server by their pre-configured user credentials. (I'm going to store 15 user credentials here). If someone else tries to connect (except those 15) he or she should be denied internet access.

    The RADIUS server will be having a login page to type the name of user and password.

    Please guide based on what commands I should inject into the 3560 or what specifically, I need to have to run this task.

    Thanks in advance!

    I don't know if the configuration ip dhcp snooping and arp of inspection is cause a problem with that or not. I see the EAPoL packet received on the switch, as shown in the attachment of debugging, but I never see the RADIUS packet. I've defined both trust on the interface, but always the same result. I can't turn it off because there is a switch of production with a test interface.

    I had the same problem and solved it is enough to configure the switch as authenticator instead of "supplicant". "Supplicant" means customer, "authenticator" means in fact the switch acts as an authenticator to pass through, it will forward the requests to the auth server, for example, host of RADIUS.

    On versions 4.2 and earlier, if the principal fails, then the secondary image is used until the secondary level is not available. So if you want the main for the radius server to use purpose, restart the secondary image. Then the tertiary then back to the primary. 5.0 has a feature in which you can define a Dungeon alive so that when the primary comes back upward, the primary will be used again. 5.0 code not a version of good code, however.
