Cisco ACS 5.3 connect to multiple identity stores / external database?

Hello

I understand that Cisco Secure ACS 5.3 supports integration with the existing external identity repositories such as LDAP and Active Directory Windows servers. In fact, in my environment, my ACS 5.3 is now integrated with AD and RSA.

My question is can Cisco Secure ACS 5.3 integrate with "several" WIndows AD, LDAP, RSA server etc.? If so, is there a document from Cisco saying this? The key word here is multipple. Please help with kindness.

You can only authenticate against an Active Directory domain. If you have users from several domains, the domain that you configure in ISE must approve other areas.

On the other hand, if you use regular LDAP so it supports multiple LDAP servers.

It may be useful

  • 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 ACS 5.1 and RSA Authentication Manager 6.1

    Hi all

    We recently had a Cisco Secure ACS 1120 and I improved the Unit 5.1 5.0 with all your support

    Now, I need to integrate Cisco ACS 5.1 with RSA Authentication Manager 6.1. I have config file of RSA ACE Server successfully downloaded and exported to 1120 ACS.

    I also added as NetOS Agent ACS in the RSA server during the process, I found a few warnings. The ACE Server is not able to resolve the IP address to the name (is it necessary?).

    I have not created any file of secret key for communication between FAC and RSA and I used encryption is FOR.

    Now, when I log into ACS and search for devices in the identity store sequences I am not able to get Sever Token RSA.

    Let me know what was wrong, where can I fix and also please tell me what is the communciaction between the RSA and ACS?

    Hoping that you guys help me as usual when I'm in a hurry...

    Sree

    Were you able to successfully create the RSA identity server. After selecting the sdconf.rec and you press on submit what happened? The RSA instance created OK?

    If you go to

  • connection via Cisco ACS 5.0 limit

    Hi all

    My infrastrucer wireless a few days ago I deploy Cisco ACS 5.0 with Active directory integration. My wireless users are connecting through web authentication process. The authentication process is gone through AD & his works very well. But I want to work on my 5.0 ACS that a user cannot simultaneously connect several devices at a time.

    Hello Sabine,.

    'max sessions' featre introduced acs 5.3.

    Maximum user sessions

    For optimal performance, you can limit the number of concurrent users to access the network resources. ACS 5.3 imposes limits on the number of simultaneous sessions of service by the user.

    The limits are defined in several different ways. You can set limits to the user level or at the level of the group. Depending on the configurations of the user's maximum session, the session number is applied to the user.

    IMPORTANT: for maximum sessions work for access of the user, the administrator must configure RADIUS account management.

    You can go through the link listed for more information below:

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.3/user/guide/access_policies.html#wp1176806

    The code that you're using now ACS 5.0 is not recommended for a production environment. You need to upgrade the ACS to achieve the functionality of session max.

  • Cisco ACS, multiple CA, assignment of VLAN relevant to the domain

    Hi all

    I searched for a solution to a specific customer requirement.

    I want authenticate users with certificates from different RootCA wireless and assign them to one VLAN based on their field?  Ideally, using the same SSID and a Cisco ACS server.

    Is this possible?  Has anyone seen that it works?

    I realize that the ACS can have trust company for the relevant RootCA (dunno what version is needed for this?).  And that assignment VLAN is also possible to a unique SSID based on RADIUS attributes.  But I am not sure that these parts would fit together?

    Would appreciate some advice!

    Thanks in advance

    Rob

    Hello

    Yes, this is possible. I suggest that you implement one by one to make sure that everything works, but no problem to do so. All recent versions of ACS allow this.

    You can do mapping group from ad groups (a group for each area, so if you want to) and assign the vlan based on the mapping of this group.

    GBA can trust several certification authorities and authenticate users with certificates of all these cases. It's just a matter of import these number certificate in the trust list.

    And you can assign the vlan and use only one ssid as well.

    I can't guide you on the procedure that it depends on which version you have and if you have IOS ap or WLC, but it is basically each function separated as in the config Guide and just used all together.

  • Problem with certifcate on Cisco ACS

    We want to authenticate our internal wireless users using our Cisco ACS running 5.3.  GBA questions our Active Directory environment for the user name and password provided.  I created a CSR on GBA and it provided to Entrust.  They gave me a root certificate, string and server.  I've linked the server certificate to the CSR under System Administration > Local Server Certificates > local certificates.  I then added the chain and the root certificates to the users of the site and identity stores > autorit├⌐s.  When I try to connect to a laptop client he asks a user name and password, but after entering this information, I am presented with the warning on this certificate below.  This certificate is to Entrust and I see the certificate root in the root store on the laptop.  Any ideas what would cause this.  TAC does not seem to have all the answers.  They say it's a problem of the client machine.

    In case you want to check your configuration settings.

  • 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):

  • Installation of Cisco ACS 5.4

    I am setting up Cisco ACS 5.4 for my org. The way I put it in place, ACS passes authentication to a RADIUS server. The problem is that it does for the user and the password to enable on each account. Is there a a way to configure ACS to review on-site in its stores of internal identity for the enable password but keep passing on the user part of RADIUS?

    Hi Jessica,.

    I went through your query and it seems that you would like to authentication of the connection to be checked with another external radius (radius proxy server) server and can be verified with the password to enable configured locally on GBA.

    I don't think that if this cannot be done with the Protocol radius with Ganymede, however we can use service attribute and that you can set in the identity > selection if the service corresponds to point of AD database connection or if the matches allow it to point to the internal database based on rules. I've attached a screenshot of the same thing for your reference. The source of identity could be anything configured databases.

  • Cisco ACS. Two-factor authentication.

    Hello.

    We intend to use the connection diagram: cisco asa + cisco acs 5.4 + rsa securid.
    We use two groups on Cisco ACS. Group "A" must use two-factor authentication, and the 'B' group don't.
    How to create this rule?

    Perform the rule base identity selection with dap-tunnel-group-name as a selector.

    ASA will send auth request name of the tunnel group.

  • Connection to multiple devices sequence using FF Fieldbus Foundation open VFD

  • Cisco ACS wireless authentication

    Hello guys,.

    I'm testing wireless authentication and authorization with my users wireless via ACS 4.2. I have version 4.2 test on Windows 2003 for the test. I also WLC 5508 and 3602i in my lab. My AD/NPS and CA are Windows 2008 R2.

    Windows 2003 is part of the field; and the GBA, if I go to the external database > Database Configuration > Windows database > configure

    From there, I chose my domain name, select "devices the EAP - TLS Machine authentication. I've also mapped the domain to the group I created in ACS.

    I also looking default RADIUS ports 1812 and 1813 the GBA.

    On my WLC 5508, I created a WLAN and define the RADIUS IP to the IP address of the ACS. However, I tried to join the wireless network. It keep the default.

    I installed the cert of the user on the laptop for EAP - TLS. If I changed the server RADIUS on the WLAN and pointed to AD/NPS that I, my portable test was able to join the network wireless through EAP - TLS.

    I'm a little confused on the ACS GANYMEDE +. GANYMEDE + is only used for the connection to network for managing devices or can be used for regular users for authentication and authorization?

    For example, a user wireless, which is part of the domain, need to join a corporate network without wire in his office. Can I use GANYMEDE + for it or it must be the RADIUS by ACS 4.2?

    Thank you

    Yes it's true, and it applies as well in Wired.

    On GBA, please add WLC as an AAA client with RADIUS (Cisco airespace)

    Configuration of WLC and ACS for the RADIUS settings.
