ACS SE - domains Windows AD

Can I use groups of network devices ACS to have one device acting as authenticator ACS two Windows domains to 802. 1 x for a single switch?

Hope the question makes sense but to put it a little more meat on the issue:

I have a single ACS device that I try to use for authentication of 802. 1 x on a switch. The problem is that I want to have the part of allocation of VLAN implementation allocated through the ACS server on the control dependant users with an account domain, but we have two domains without trust between them. the remote agent in ACS to should not be installed on servers in different domains and that two agents available are for resiliance only, so does not fit this unfortunatley.

That's why I finished watching with several groups of devices.

someone at - it ideas if this will work or if there is another way to make this work.

Hello

ACS cannot authenticate 'natively' in 2 different domains that do not have a defined relationship. If this is not possible, then you must make 2 ACS servers, one in each area. Configure the ACS 'primary' to the 'secondary' server proxy queries based on the provided field.

This would require a second server ACS be set upwards (you will probably pay an additional fee for the second ACS server). You do not want to configure a proxy distribution table. This would require the user explicitly indicate the domain name with their user name.

Kind regards

  • ACS 3.0 Windows, VPN, remote access and external databases

    I'm trying to implement a VPN solution, and most are very good.

    We have a VPN concentrator, which authenticates with CSACS and who, in turn, back off the coast of authentication with a Windows domain. Unknown user policy allows new users themselves create dynamically.

    The VPN uses the Cisco VPN client. The hub is visible on the internet, and the bit works fine.

    Bit difficult, but we are also trying to set up the access line by using a phone company for users who do not have their own internet access.

    I have problems which to authenticate to the Windows domain.

    If I manually create a user and add a chap password, this user can authenticate OK. If I manually add a password of chap user can authenticate.

    If the user does not exist I get "user CS unknown', if I did not add a password manually, but the user is I get"Invalid password CS CHAP", so it seems that the problem is is interrupting this authentication against the field, but I don't see why.

    The telephone company radius server in my network as a aaa client configuration and is almost the same configured as VPN concentrators (the difference is the Conc VPN is configured as 'RADIUS (Cisco VPN 3000)' and as 'RADIUS (IETF)' radius server)

    Any thoughts?

    You cannot use CHAP to authenticate a domain Windows, the way THAT CHAP requires the password must be stored is incompatible with the Windows passwords. You need to configure each connection Dial-Up Networking to dial-up users to use MSCHAP or PAP.

  • Cisco Secure ACS 4.2 Windows authentication of different domain

    Hello

    I have a Cisco Secure ACS for Windows Server 4.2. The server belongs to a domain and the domain, the users belonging to a certain group are authenticated.

    Now, I have to change the configuration of the server and reassign it to another area. There is no trust relationship between two domains and I would like to know if users can always be authenticated against the previous domain.

    Hello

    First of all, take backup (by measure of precaution in order to restore config if something goes wrong) then continue witht the following:

    -Remove the configuration of the windows domain (group... mapping etc) from the server before changing the field.

    -Change the domain membership, and then restart.

    -follow the missions post-disiez for ACS (see this link): http://tiny.cc/zr6huw.

    -Configure the external database again on GBA (group mapping, strategy unknown user... etc).

    You should note that if the new domain controller is Windows Server 2008 R2, which is not supported by ACS 4.x.

  • Authenticate users in the other domain Windows

    Hello

    I'm trying to authenticate users in a different Windows domain. The correct version of the Remote Agent is installed on the domain controller. Director of company "runs" the service.

    I discovered that the group nesting is not working in version 3.3.3. Is this correct?

    I also have a universal and domain local group. In this group, I put some users in the domain, the trust.

    Authentication will not work: error on ACS: external DB account restriction.

    Also, I tried to do a group directly mapping in the trusted domain. When I click on 'Add Group Mapping', this is the error: "unable to enumerate windows... groups."

    Hi Remco

    Looking at the release notes under known issues in Cisco Secure ACS for Windows Server 3.3

    CSCei01730

    The EAP - TLS authentication to the trusted domain controller failed

    Authentication succeeded only when the customer the EAP - TLS to authenticate to the domain controller which connected directly to GBA, but when the user is in the ms trust (only in the ms trust) that linked to the first domain controller, the authentication has failed and has been the message of attempts fail: 'External account DB Restriction'.

    Same message is produced if the activation of the field stripping in database settings outside of Windows or not.

    CSCee13658

    Report of failed attempts for statement is not clear enough

    When the user validation fails for some reason any (external server is down, the right SSL certificate or key shift with NAS), attempts to csv report failed indicates that the failure of the authentication code is "restriction of account external db" or "CS password invalid.

    Workaround: this issue is cosmetic. No work around.

  • Cisco ACS secure 5.3 allowing foreigners on ACS local domain server domain accounts

    All the

    My company has recently acquired another company

    Each company has its own domain and controllers

    The problem:

    Executives of the absorbed company sometimes come to the main site for meetings using their own laptops

    configured for their own areas. This caused problems of authentication wireless with Windows 7 machines.

    The domain account when you connect is forcing the dispatch of the password, the name of domain user and the foreign domain

    The need:
    We need to somehow add foreign domain as the source of authentication on the local ACS authentication attempt with our wireless controllers is allowed.

    Give advice on how this could be achieved.

    Hello Steve,.

    Concerning the behavior that you experience with ACS to be able to authenticate users against the foreign domain is completely expected and you will only be able to authenticate by entering the user name and domain name.

    The only option to join the ACS for a foreign domain is LDAP configuration and in this way, you will be able to join the AEC directly with this area, however, there are several limitations on the supported protocols when you use LDAP as you can see from the following link, then you want to see if he would be available as an option for you or not depending on the Protocol that you use (which I suppose is it PEAP / MSchapv2) as you mentioned that users will type the identifying information, so it does it does not for you):

  • Cannot log on to a computer in the domain when it is removed from the domain - Windows 7 Pro, just stopped working

    We have a Dell laptop with the encryption used by the principal of our school at work and at home. At the office, it connects to the network via Ethernet. Yesterday, when he returned home, he received a message that it could not connect to a server approved.  His credentials have been cached in the past and still allowed him to open a session with the same user name and password.

    Now, when the laptop is not connected to the network, I can't log on to the laptop computer as a domain administrator, it cannot open a session with his account and the local administrator account cannot log on (localadmin\laptopname).  When I tried to add a new local user by using user accounts in Control Panel, I get a message that the domain is not available.  This field is the name of the computer.  Manage user--> Add--> domain accounts--> go--> locations<-- the="" only="" option="" is="" entire="" directory="" (my="" domain). ="" actually,="" this="" is="" all="" i="" see="" on="" my="" work="" computer="" too. ="" when="" did="" this="" change? ="" i've="" added="" local="" users="" in="" the="">

    The rest of Windows seems to work.

    Biometrics does not for one of our accounts, but they have in the past.

    I might add a local account for him to use only with the following command. At least this allows him to use the laptop at home, but it creates a new profile for him so he will not have access to the files saved under its domain account profile.

    net user USERNAME PASSWORD /add
    net localgroup administrators USERNAME /add
    

    AFAIK what has changed is that he was just updates installation before returned home and when he arrived home, things no longer work.

  • WLC / ACS / AD - domain and laptops no - domain (802. 1 X / PEAP)

    Hi all

    I implement a solution based on 4404 WLC, 1113 ACS and Microsoft AD. What I want to achieve is to have two WIFI (SSID), that can be used by users on laptops of the domain, the other can be used by the users in the domain on personal laptops. Field portable computers will have full connectivity, but personal laptops will be restricted.

    I created the two SSID using 802. 1 X by ACS / Remote Agent and can authenticate and connection OK.

    I thought I should have user auth and auth machine for laptops of area but just user auth for personal laptops.

    I have unauthenticated machines go to one group ACS or blocked, but I need to enable them in if they are on the SSID restricted. I can't quite understand how to have two SSID is authenticating with the same ACS / AD - one green and the other.

    I'm on the right track?

    Anyone done this before or have any bright ideas?

    See you soon,.

    John

    With the use of WLAN access based on the SSID, users can be authenticated based on the SSID they use to connect to the WLAN. The Cisco Secure ACS server is used to authenticate users. Authentication happens in two stages on the Cisco Secure ACS:

    1 authentication EAP

    2 resulting SSID authentication of network (NARS) on Cisco Secure ACS Access Restrictions

    I installed Windows 7 in my pc organizations whose domain controller is a windows 2003 server. It is my observation that you connect the sick machine whenever a user tent remain for about a minute and then turned to a black screen with a cursor. If the user deletes the network cable, he or she will be able to connect without any problems. I tried to rename the profile name and observed that he or she can connect without any problems, but now in a temporary profile. Another observation is that, if no user login using a profile name or password the problem does not appear.

  • Configuring the ACS server on windows server

    I have configured the router to use the AAA authentication with the laboratory of cbtnuggets from ACS server.

    I checked the accessibility of the ACS server to client router and vice versa and also configuration.
