Active Directory + ACS Remote Agent

I have a camera ACS (3.2). I understand that I need to use a remote ACS agent installed preferably on a domain controller, Windows authentication. My question is: if I use Active Directory, can I not use external user databases and configure generic LDAP with the appropriate settings to access Active Directory? So I wouldn't need a remote agent? Or I have to use external user databases and configure the databases Windows (which means using an external remote agent? Or I can choose two methods? His confusion as active Direcory cann support for pre-2000 windows domains and I do not know which method of mapping of external user database to use.

My apologies, missed the word "apparatus" in your original post.

You can probably do this use anyway, I guess, even though we suggest using a Remote Agent with the Windows DB. If you are not going in this direction, make sure your security permissions (http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_soft/csacsapp/raig/rawi.htm#642394)

I've had users use the LDAP with Windows Ad database before and it works very well, the only difference (IIRC) is you don't get all the group maps of Windows with this method, but for the authentication of the user only, it should work fine.

  • Support for multiple Active Directory ACS 5.2

    Hello

    I couldn't find a way to add multiple domain controllers to Cisco ACS 5.2, all that he requires in the GUI of the ACS entered the domain name? We are limited to add the root DC /forest?

    I'm not a Microsoft Expert...

    I could not understand how ACS detects the DC through this simple entry? What is with the help of DNS?

    Comments are appreciated.

    ACS 5 may be joined with a single domain right now. When GBA is joined to a domain, ACS can authenticate any user who belongs to this domain any domain controller in this domain. It relies on DNS resolution to find the appropriate domain controller.

    I think that what you are looking for is Multi domain authentication. If you do this, then you should have a two-way trust between the immediate area (the area which is a part of the ACS) ACS other areas. The ACS will send authentication to one of the domain controllers in its domain and it will then be forwarded to the other domain. It could be a child or a parallel domain, but it must have 2 path of trust between them.

    In other words, so that you may choose is to set up 2 separate domain controllers from different domains such as LDAP servers. In this case we do not need a way 2 trust and you can separately for each domain authentication request.

  • The upgrade to Cisco ACS SE and Remote Agent

    Hello

    Currently we are upgrading the PDC to Windows Server 2008, Standard Edition R2.

    I am little confused with information available for upgrade scenarios. Appearing on the current working versions.

    Cisco ACS SE - version 4.1 Build 23 5 Patch 1

    Cisco ACS Remote Agent version 4.2 (0.124)

    The new operating system will work on 64-bit, I think that the current ACE SE and the remote agent can / must be upgraded.

    My existing versions, give the possible scenarios of upgrade available for me. After that upgraded SE and Remote Agent should work for the 64 bit OS.

    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, it is not possible to upgrade the ACS ACS 5.2 existing to level 4.1. They are two different boxes run on a different platform.

    Unfortunately ACS 4.x does not support windows 2008 r2.

    5.2 ACS is the only option left, and you will need to buy a new box of seprate with the new licnese for this.

    If the service is running, then you must put emphasis on the communication client/AD and see where the break occurs.

    Can you ensure that the unauthenticated role, you have all the required TCP/UDP ports open, and ICMP and IP FRAGMENTS to all your domain controllers?

  • Unit of ACS and agent remote test

    Problems with unit ACS integration with Active Directory. Have installed the remote agent on a member server and the ACS unit can enumerate Active Directory groups correctly so there is at least some communication happening.

    Looking at newspapers in the remote agent whenever a request for ad groups comes through see you the corresponding journal entries. When a user tries to authenticate that there is no future logs through the remote agent. So maybe it is not sent to remote agent?

    In the authentication failed, connect GBA, the error is unknown user, it shows the correct username + domain name such as the person trying to authenticate.

    Windows Server is configured for a unknown user policy.

    Version of the ACS is 4.1.1.23, Remote Agent is the latest available version.

    Any ideas or things to check?

  • ACS 4.2 Remote agent compatibility issues.

    I did a little reading on the compatibility of remote ACS 4.2 with Windows 2008 R2 agent, and it seems that the only way out is to upgrade the ACS to 5.2. We have Cisco ACS 4.2 SE and I would like someone to confirm that I have installed what happens if the remote agent on a Windows 2003 server of Member rather than the 2008 R2 domain controller. Such a scenario will work?

    Comments are appreciated.

    Concerning

    Yes, here's what a bug documented with this CSCtg37183 information:

    http://Tools.Cisco.com/support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCtg37183

    Excerpt from the previous link:

    ACS 4.x does not support the Server 2008 R2 to AD.

    Symptom:

    ACS 4.x does not support authentication to a back-end Server 2008 R2 Active Directory.

    Conditions:

    ACS 4.x
    Windows Server 2008 R2 installed on the domain controller
    ACS or remote agent installed on a member server in the environment (even if the Server 2003/2008)

    Workaround solution:

    Install the ACS or the Remote Agent on a domain controller 2003/2008

    Cisco does not support this scenario because sometimes work well other doesn't work at all, so nobody wants an unstable network right, unfortunately workaround doesn't help much. Although there is an ACS 5.2 trial version that you can test, let me know if I can get you the links.

  • 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.

  • Secure ACS unit and Remote Agents

    Hello

    We test Secure ACS 3.2 device and authentication against AD via remote agents. When two or more remote agents are registered with the device in the network menu, is the pretty smart device to try the second machine remote agent if she can't talk to the first? We tested this failover by stopping the service of the remote agent on the first domain controller where it has been installed. However, failover does not occur. We want to know if this failover is supposed to work, and if so what we need to do to make it work.

  • Upgrade ACS 4, 1 - question of Remote Agent

    I've updated Cisco ACS 3.2 to 4.1. Having satisfied certain issues, we finally got installed. Now, we are facing this problem of the remote agent. There is a lot of configuration to do for this agent? Here is the part of the instructions. I know right what they want me to. Where is this Cisco computer? Where we put the Cisco account? We certainly do not have a domain controller on our network called Cisco. Is it better to put this on a domain controller or a member server?

    Thank you

    Step 1 Add CISCO workstation.

    To meet the requirements of Windows for authentication requests, ACS must specify windows

    in my computer to which the user tries to open a session. Because the ACS cannot determine this information

    of authentication requests that send AAA clients, it uses a name of generic workstation for all applications.

    Use CISCO under the name of the workstation.

    In the local domain and in each trusted domain and a child domain that uses ACS to authenticate users.

    ensure that:

    ? A computer named CISCO account exist.

    ? All users that Windows will authenticate are allowed to connect to the computer named CISCO.

    For more information, see the Microsoft documentation for your operating system.

    Go down to da external user---> DB Configuration---> Windows---> Configiure--->---> RA remote agent choose in the drop-down list---> Summit.

    ACS will now use this remote agent.
